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
