Why I Love/Hate BritainThis week's been all about the Daily Mail and why people love or hate their country. Tell us one thing you hate about Britain, and one thing about why you love it.
This shouldn't be an excuse for RACISTLOLS, or long lists of things you dislike. Be intelligent, be funny, and be interesting

You'd have got there eventually anyway.the big point is that it was going to be very difficult for Britain to enforce controls in America. You guys wanted economic independence (which was far more of a motivator than 'freedom', or any of that gubbins), and there wasn't a lot the Brits could do to stop it, in the long run.
The fact is that Americans under the British Empire were earning far more money than Brits and paying far, far less in taxes. They just didn't really want to pay ANY once the British had got rid of the threat of the French and they saw no huge benefit from the relationship any more.
Anyway...
