"Instead, they came to accept our decision and decided it was easier to work with us than to try to re-subjugate us and have to weaken their positions elsewhere."
If the US did NOT put up a fight, the Brits would have never decided that it was easier to work with us than to re-subjugate. We didn't have the *biggest* army, only a force large enough to not make it worth their while to continue the war.
Force decided the war. As you say, without it, the US would still be a colony.
