Nobody. Americans just wanted sovereignty. I think a people that yell liberty and freedom while holding onto slavery seems a little hypocritical in my opinion.

The fucking MEXICANS.

Goddamn spicks.

The British model had always been to run colonies as a for-profit enterprise.

The colonists didn't want to contribute that profit.

Like everything in history, economic concerns drove social and political events.

Under modern international law, the colonists would be justified, because right to self determination.

Also, it doesn't make sense to have a place that's capable of self governing run from a capital that's across an ocean. Even in the modern era, that shit just wouldn't work, let alone in the age of sail.

The rebels because it was basically tax avoidance and also leads to genocide of native Americans rather than diplomacy the British employed

Never afford your enemy any advantage. Ever. No fight is a game.
This is why you lost.

There is no such thing as cheating at war.
