The more things change, the more things stay the same.
(Actually it was about the British treaty with the indians that limited expansion into the lush and gold bearing interior, Americans wanted to be free to plunder the land).
Hey, it was your idiot nation's fault to not make Benjamin Franklin a token representative of parliament or appoint a representative.
You could've easily stonewalled their demands while giving them the representation they asked for. It would've at least won you more support and perhaps even stagnated the desire to break away.
Inept management of colonies is usually a prime factor in them breaking away.
Not to mention, by making treaties with the Native American tribes without involving the other party (IE a representative of the colonies) that injured and was injured to arbitrate and agree is just another example of British-head-up-ass syndrome.
Honestly, it's like you never understood your own countrymen and colonies...
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
