Because the Spanish brought over diseases which wiped out most of the Native American population.
Answer:
On the other hand, the Americans had many intangible advantages.
The British fought a war far from home. Military orders, troops, and supplies sometimes took months to reach their destinations. The British had an extremely difficult objective. They had to persuade the Americans to give up their claims of independence. As long as the war continued, the colonists' claim continued to gain validity. The geographic vastness of the colonies proved a hindrance to the British effort. Despite occupying every major city, the British remained as at a disadvantage.
Americans had a grand cause: fighting for their rights, their independence and their liberty. This cause is much more just than waging a war to deny independence. American military and political leaders were inexperienced, but proved surprisingly competent.
The war was expensive and the British population debated its necessity. In Parliament, there were many American sympathizers. Finally, the alliance with the French gave Americans courage and a tangible threat that tipped the scales in America's favor.

Answer:
Hi. Ok, so from what I have learned about it and seen from her book is that she wishes to be more mature but when she actually is and is expected to act that way, she repeatedly writes about it and complains. Basically, this would mean that instead of following her parents wish to be mature or to act like a lady(teenager) she does the opposite and realizes what this comes with. Then she doesn't like it as much as she did before she is a teenager despite saying how much she wanted to be. As for evidence, I don't know off of my head, but know her diaries mention it several times. For the explanation, Anne explains her desire to be so much but then starts misbehaving a bit and that comes with facing her family and friends opinions which she doesn't like. Hope this helps you out as a basic explanation.
