How did America push threw first 4 years of the revolutionary war with out any help

I'm going to go with "we didn't" because the French started giving us money and guns as early as 1776.

Please educate yourself before spouting nationalist bullshit.

Simple. In order for the British to win, they would have to make us want to stay (through beating the crap out of us, mostly). In order for the Americans to win, all we had to do was not lose.

Oh, well in that case I apologize. I'm bad at detecting sarcasm IRL, you can imagine how much worse it is when it comes to the internet. ^^

Because the Brits were fighting a war far from home, meaning hard to get supplies, reinforcements and orders, and it was a war that the Brits really didn't have much of an interest in. It was seen as an unnecessary expense, and the general population wanted the army to draw back.
On top of that, most of the wars the British waged during the imperialism wasn't fought with British troops, but by corrupting the local governors and taking over the occupied country through bribes, and if necessary with mercenaries.
Ofcourse they still had a contingent of the British army garrisoned in the US, but they were outnumbered by far.

You do know only 1/3 of Americans back then did fight for Freedom. the other 1/3 was stayed out of it, and the other 1/3 helped the British. Same thing is kind of going on Today. You have 1/3 of Americans who fight for individualism, low taxes, and small .gov. The other 1/3 fight for collectivism and socialism, who would still probably have fought for the British Empire today, and the other 1/3 who just want to stay out of it.

Way to radically oversimplify, both history and current politics. Perhaps you should get a color tv?

Logistics and everyone had to walk everywhere

basically this, overly stretched supply lines and slow communication and at the same time britain was fighting First Anglo-Mysore War, First Anglo-Maratha War as well as the revolution. The other two wars may not have been as big but still required troops and supplies.

Though its weird to say britain vs america when at the time most white people in america were one or two generations at most removed from european immigrants. It is also said that though they lost the majority of the battles they endured the losses until the other side couldnt.

Had Britain never colonized Asia and instead focused on the America's I have no doubt they would have won the revolution.
