    You’ve just hit the button, that is precisely why the US was created. There wasn’t some British threat, taxation wasn’t higher, and citizens of the colonies had more representation in Parliament than people living in the UK. In short, it was all a lot of propaganda that we still spout today and what people really wanted was to be greedy and have all the power themselves.
