    Not a fan of this because it paints the British as the bad guys

      As rubbish as America is today, you’re out of your goddamn mind if you don’t think the British have been the bad guys throughout most of their imperialist past, including during the American revolution.

        Wait until you hear about American Imperialism

        Neither of those were a factor here

            So you know a driving force for the colonies wasn’t taxes but it was not being allowed to expand over the Appalachians and the troops living in their homes

            Which makes it odd that you would bring up colonialism

            Also we can look at Britain destroying their economy to offset the costs of others to not use slave labour, although this happened later anyone would know the Americans were the bad guys at the time
