I always play on hard difficulty and the British are hardest to play with. The game tries to follow history and there are scripted events to increase American support (Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, Nathan Hale). In this game, support is everything as it gives you the money to pay your officers and prevents your commander-in-chief from being sacked.
To win as British, I have to take active actions to prevent the scripted events from happening, e.g. conquer Philadelphia (congress hq) within 1 year, raise support to at least keep a few states Loyalist.
As the Americans, all you need to do is to invade Boston immediately and capture the commander-in-chief (and imprison at least 2 of the best British officers in 1 blow). After that, just hold Philadelphia, wait for more American officers and militia to join you free of charge and get free foreign assistance also.
