What is one reason that Thomas Paine thinks the colonies stand a good chance against the British

The one reason that Thomas Paine thinks the colonies stand a good chance against the British was that the colonies had very less to lose in the fight against the British. On the other hand the British had everything to lose once the colonies freed themselves from the oppression. The colonies had every resource to prepare arms for the fight against the British. The British would lose out financially in a big way as the colonies would then stop paying undue taxes that the British government charged.
