One major factor was when the French finally decided to help the colonists. They sent a army on land and their navy at sea. So while both the colonist (Americans) and French blocked the British on land, the French navy ultimately prevented the British from using their sea escape route. With no strategic options left, General Cornwallis, the British general of the Battalion surrendered. This victory wasn't just a battle victory for the colonist, it was what allowed them to win the war.

Answer: Genetic Drift

Explanation: Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism whereby gene or allele frequency of a particular population change over generations due to random chance. The effect of genetic drift is most visible in small population due to reduction in population size resulting from natural disaster or splitting of a small group from the main population to formation a colony. However, it can occur in large population as well but it's effect is as strong as that occurring within a small population.

The genetic drift among the Dunkers could be attributed to the official split between conservatives and progressives members in 1882.
