I don’t know why you’re using such phrases as “the British”, “British soldiers” and “British ships”. They imply that the revolutionaries self identified as American - they didn’t. The American Revolution was not a rejection of Britishness. Indeed, most colonists and nearly all of the signatories of the declaration of independence considered themselves to be British even after independence.

As for your comments on the decline of the Roman Empire, most of what you said is inaccurate and some of it is plane ridiculous. “the Roman Empire was reduced to a pile of rubble” - for your information the Roman Empire’s eastern provinces endured for another thousand years, and its western dominions changed very little, life went on much as it had always done.
