The United States is all British, why should it be independent?

First, as early as the beginning of the17th century, the British had colonized the east coast of the United States. After hundreds of years of development, thirteen states in North America have formed a unified market and a strong national consciousness, and their relations with Britain have always been relatively distant.

With the passage of time, local British immigrants have become more independent and have more political and economic demands. However, Britain refused to give more autonomy to local British residents. In order to maintain the control of the British colonial authorities, they squeezed the American people in disguise, hindered the local economic development, and tried to keep the United States a vassal of Britain.

Due to the unsatisfied demands of American-British residents, the desire for independence is getting stronger and stronger, and the British have strengthened their control over the local area, and the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides have escalated, which eventually became out of control. It can be said that the independence of the United States is inevitable, only a matter of time.

Second, North America is a complex region. Besides Britain, other European countries such as France and Spain also have great influence in North America. In particular, the French occupied the vast Central Plains of the United States and Canada, which seriously threatened the security of the British North American colonies, and the local residents urgently needed the protection of the British.

In addition, the economy of early British North America was underdeveloped, and it relied heavily on British economic aid, and it also needed British industrial products and markets, so Americans didn't want to leave Britain at first. But after the seven-year war from 1754 to 1763, France lost most of its colonies in North America and Spain lost Florida. The threats from France and Spain disappeared, the American economy developed to a certain extent, and Americans had independent ideas.

Of course, not all Americans are willing to be independent, the southern region, which has close ties with Britain, is unwilling to be independent, and many people in the north do not support independence. After the founding of the United States, these diehard pro-British factions fled to Canada.

Third, American independence was closely related to the international situation at that time.

Because Britain defeated France in the Seven-Year War and captured French colonies such as Canada, in order to appease the local French, Britain promulgated the Quebec Act, which recognized the Catholic privilege of French immigrants and included the Mississippi River basin and Ohio in Quebec province controlled by the French, thus angering Americans who have been trying to move westward, especially American Puritans who are at odds with Catholicism. This was an important reason for the split between the United States and Canada at that time.

At the same time, because of the "Boston tea party incident" in the United States, Britain has carried out a series of severe punishment measures against Americans. These actions by the British completely angered the American people, and the American War of Independence was imminent.
