What strategy worked well for the colonists in fighting the british during the american revolution?

The Continental Army and militia deployed hit and run tactics.  

Further Explanation:

It was the period between 1778 to 1781 when the Military operations of Britain mainly focused on the South and the reason behind that was the British had a large population of Southerners and they were considered as loyalists who used to help the British to subdue the Patriots. During this period of time, the British were successful in one of the most strategically important battles that took place in that region and this battle mostly focused on the area which was close to their supply points situated in the Atlantic coast. Nathanael Greene and Daniel Morgan who were generals of armed forces of the United States ordered their troops to turn into Guerrilla and Hit and Run tactics which eventually stymied the Britishers.  

Throughout the Forage war, the causalities of the British military went past 900 and this war raised the morale of the Patriots and that was because the efforts and operations made by the American forces as Guerrilla operations were very effective and there were many soldiers of the American military unit used to hit and run raids.

The American colonists did not fight the independence war themselves; there were allies who provided help in one form or another. Some of the main allies include France, Spain and the Netherlands.  These allies provided help in form of weapons, supplies and military personnel.  

Those allies that help the American to fight the revolutionary war for independence from the Great Britain did so because they saw Britain as common enemy.  

In 1763, the France and Spain lost a 7 year war against the Britain, and both allies felt helping the American to fight the Britain would restore their pride and also serve as revenge on the Britain.  

Both France and Spain also hoped to recover some territory lost to Britain during the 7 year war in addition to becoming new trade partner with America.

However, no real strategy was developed by American during the revolutionary war until July 3, 1775 when George Washington took charge of the continental armies.  

George Washington was seen as a brilliant military leader who adopted Fabian strategy of avoiding decisive battles to conquer the Britain.

The use of gorilla welfare was another strategy used by the American. Many American learned the gorilla welfare strategy when they were soldiers during the French and Indian war.
