Julian · Answer 1

The British had to divert troops to defend gulf coast forts under Spanish attack. Rebels used guerrilla warfare, while the British were used to a more forthright style of war. The British overestimated the loyalist faction. British got too far away from their fleet and had no reliable supply lines.
