The British government repealed every new tax BUT the tea tax, the colonies still rebelled. Why were these new taxes imposed to begin with? Because of the french and indian war, when France and its native allies got in a pissing contest with the colonists of course they wanted the crown to come lay down the law....but pay for it? preposterous! Sure citizens on the british mainland had to pay taxes toward the cost, but the colonists? Aw hell they are above that.
Oh and the boston massacre...i can think of alot of people that think that was an atrocity but Kent State was justified, guess what, John Adams one of our founding fathers, defended the british soldiers responsible, and they gave the same damn excuses the kent state guardsmen did. Whats the fucking difference? I dont know either way whether that shit was justified by either party, I wasnt even born yet, but its the same damn situation.
Quit being blinded by nationalism and see history for what it is, not what you want it to be. I love my country because its my country, not because I honestly believe its origin was this universe shattering relevation of good fucking will. For christ sake they said all men are equal all the while continuing slavery. Give me a fucking break and I dont give two shits what anyones excuses are for that decision, its fucking cowardly.
Shit were paying more taxes now than the colonists ever did under the british crown, why arent you manning the **** up and martyring yourself for the cause if they were so justified in their actions.
Oh I know why because now the fat rich americans are the masters now not the subjects.
