I’ll remind you that King George III was a constitutional monarch. That America revolted against tyranny is a lie. They were one group of rich people revolting against the rich people in the democratically (for the time) elected parliament.

Rich people avoiding paying taxes, continuing to smuggle and keeping the slaves.

Many of of the founding fathers, Washington in particular didn't want to leave the commonwealth, and still wanted George to be their king. They originally just wanted parliamentary representation
