Not a fan of this because it paints the British as the bad guys
Have you heard of treason day? I think one of the rebel colonies celebrates that during July 4th or something. ๐ง

Wait until you learn about British colonialism.
Wait until you hear about American Imperialism
Neither of those were a factor here
As if I don't know about it already.
So you know a driving force for the colonies wasnโt 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
