American victory also depended on French sea power

Did American victories over British armies show that British volunteers could resist a French invasion?

The comparison is incomplete because American victory in the War of Independence also depended on the French Navy defeating the Royal Navy at a decisive moment.

A viewer suggests that American defeats of British armies prove British volunteers might also resist a French invasion. The American result was not simply one land force beating another in isolation. French naval success against the Royal Navy was one condition behind American victory. Coalition warfare and command of the sea belong in a comparison that otherwise treats the conflict as purely terrestrial.
