Yes - because, again, that didn't drive the British off the mainland.
Keep in mind that when the British got really annoyed with us, they mounted an amphibious assault on our capital, and burned the White House to the ground. Just to make the point that they were stronger, and could do whatever they wanted. And then they departed.
We certainly didn't defeat them militarily in the Revolutionary War. They just left.
