The same reason the american "empire" lose against a few revolting peasants in Vietnam: unclear goals and internal political turmoil.

Britain was able to occupy most of the major port cities but unable to enforce control of the rural areas. The Continental army sought support from France, and was able to show their viability with a decisive victory at Saratoga, which persuaded France and Spain to enter the war (not in support of the Revolution's ideals, but to undercut Britain)

Well the peasants ran to France for help, and the Brits got tired of paying for it.
