    The only reason the Americans won is that they had the French Navy on their side.

    The French went broke supporting the Americans.

    Also, the Brits were willing to cede to the Americans. The Brits kept getting US cotton and they were going to get it cheaper because once the British empire withdrew the Americans could expand into the Native nations the British had treaties with.

    It’s not comparable in any way.
