This is not my interpretation. Rather, the American *never*
succeeded in conventional warfare. The British were able to
march hither and yon, destroying whatever they chose, and
killing whoever got in their way. However this cost them, and
it did not bring them political control. After marching up and
down and back and forth, and losing lots of men in the process,
they eventually gave up.
