    The French did. George Washington’s main role was keeping the Continental Army together so the American Colonies were ungovernable. One third of the colonists were Loyalists, one third were Revolutionaries, and the final third didn’t care.

    Once Napoleon was distracted by Russia, the British came back in 1812 and burned the White House. But by then all the Loyalists had left and the British Army had no support. They essentially burned shit for 2 years and left. America didn’t really win either war but got independence kind of like the Taliban did.

      We call that winning when it comes to wars of independence.
