Well, we picked a fight more than they did if we're being totally honest.


You do realize we rebelled against ever increasing taxes and reduced personal freedoms, right? It's not like our founding fathers woke up one day and said, "frick it, I want my own country."

Well yeah. They increased our taxes in order to get more money from us. They weren't saying "Hey lets increase their taxes so they'll get pissed off and rebel against us"

It wasn't the UK's intention to start a war with us over taxes.
