As I understand it, they won in a tactical sense, but they had no logistical capability to do anything about it. To try and retake the American continent when I had an armed force that was unwilling to back down and surrender would have been insanity and suicide, as well as requires resources far beyond anything the British were capable of.

Indeed. Cliche but true- “winners” in war are subjective and while we usually use “sides” to define conflict- at best that can only tell us the military victors, not the “winner.” To put it another way- the people do not always have things better when a government or elite class do well in a war.
