Answer 1

Answer: Britain abandoned New England in early 1776 because of rebel strength and the lack of Loyalist support. The British established their military headquarters in New York City, hoping to sever the states in two. Washington adopted a defensive strategy of caution and delay. The war was stalemated, and the British turned to the South, hoping to strengthen their forces and utilize their naval power. The British scored significant coastal victories but were thwarted by American guerrilla tactics from penetrating into the interior.
