The British thought it would be easy and did not use all of their might - they were busy with a war in Europe anyway, and once it became apparent the colonists were winning, Britain tried to send reinforcements but a French blockade kept them away. France was keen to help America as a way of hurting the British on another front.

I'm sure someone who knows more about Washington's military tactics can supplement this.
