>taxation without representation was nonsense because most Englishmen in the 18th century weren't enfranchised either and had no say in how Parliament levied taxes >the Stamp, etc taxes were to pay off the cost of the world war that George Washington singlehandedly started and hardly tyrannous or unreasonable >Americans had pretty much complete religious freedom (unlike in England where Dissenters, Catholics, etc had restricted rights) and no forced conscription via press gangs in wartime >they blamed George III in their propaganda screeds and turned him into Attila the Hun or something when Lord North was more at fault for the war and the unpopular taxes >Washington never really won an all-out battlefield victory, he just ran off from the British armies and waited until the French came and bailed him out >later on in the War of 1812 Americans attacked us like sneak cowards when we were distracted in a life and death struggle with France >still lose every battle except like two naval victories won by cheating because they destroyed tiny sloops with their overpowered ships-of-the-line they claimed to be frigates >repulsed from invading Canada >White House burned >win pointless victory in New Orleans that meant nothing because the war was already over Incontrovertible facts/redpills here.

>Before the Declaration of Independence had even been signed, Spain offered offered 1 million livres in subsidies to the Americans. Also thanks for that, Pablo. 'Preciate the help.

London was pretty insistent on trying to keep the colonies as a source of raw materials and tried to stop them from building manufacturing of their own.
Christian Evans
Cry about it, you lost because you mismanaged your logistics and literally, LITERALLY, cope by saying "it wasn't important." Lying straight through your crooked teeth. Fucking cry about it.
Jack Jones
Someone sent us a pamphlet of britain portrayed as a soyjak, it had to be done
Gavin Davis
Or, well, recovering clay lost in the Seven Years War, but w/e.

The war wasn't winnable--the colonies were just too fucking big to subdue and Britain couldn't put too many military resources into it because they had to watch Ireland and make sure their home waters were protected from invasion.
Easton Baker
GW was actually a very good strategist--he avoided direct battles and bided his time until the French entered the war.
>entire forests earmarked for the Royal Navy and you weren't allowed to cut them down >most industries banned from the colonies or their products not allowed to be exported >goods purchased from Europe had to go through a British port first, pay a tax, and be transported in British ships--George Washington famously ordered a carriage from England once and it took weeks to get there and had gotten wet and ruined by seawater There were quite a lot of grievances actually.
Nolan Gomez
The British generals weren't really that good anyway most were pretty mediocre and Lorde Howe let Washington get away since he preferred to hang out in NYC and screw his mistress.
Charles Green
>You WILL listen to (((Parliament))) after being governed by colonial legislatures for 150 years >You WILL quarter British troops you never asked for >You WILL be pressed into the Royal Navy to fight for another country you have nothing to do with
Not reading any of that. We got our independence and then we carried your goofy ass post-ww1. Calm down, be humble, we get it, you are no longer an empire and you never will be again.
Brayden Taylor
The colonies already had expelled an unpopular colonial governor of New York and a different governor lost an attempted libel suit which was pretty much what cemented freedom of the press as a concept.

>the yanks used Fabian strategies so they didn’t really win!!! OH NONONONONONO HAHAHAHAHAHA Did the 6th coalition not really win against Napoleon? Dumb limey

1. it has to do with lords, since we had no lords to represent any singular american colonies had no say, it isn't about enfranchising the people 2. he was sent by the british to kick out a french war band, it's too bad their leader was related to the monarchy 3. it wasn't an issue during the revolution 4. the brits consider george 3 mad, at least we attribute some rationality to him, i love the scene in adams, tom hollander was great 5. america had no army, he had to keep his colonial militia intact otherwise there would be no fight 6. brits were kidnapping america merchantmen 7. again the army relaxed because no one was prepared for a war 8.ibid 9.ibid 10. if only the brits knew, many good troops died for nothing
Matthew Watson
So what you're saying is, you lost your most profitable colony to a bunch of hicks with pitchforks and cried about it for 200 years and in that time those same hicks totally supplanted you bitches in every single avenue from GDP, military, world wide prestige, and relevance to the point where when anyone thinks of your language the first thing they associate it with is America? How the fuck did that happen? Sounds like you fags weren't that special to begin with. Maybe if you realized the potential that North America held, you'd have done a better job in appeasing us. But your arrogance and hubris cost you everything, and now you spend your days crying about what could have been. Sounds gay.
