A few quick facts you ought to know.

>the American colonies did not have "taxation without representation", they were offered seats in Parliament and refused
>George III was the furthest thing from the Pol Pot-esque figure he was made out to be, just a harmless bloke who liked shagging his potato-faced German wife
>the Boston Massacre happened when a rioting mob threw rocks at soldiers and John Adams defended some of the latter in court and got them exonerated
>none of the taxes in question were unreasonable and all were necessary to recoup the costs of the world war that George Washington started
>It was entirely justified to retain armed soldiers on the Canadian border after 1783 in the event of American invasion
>Impressment of sailors was also yellow journalism, they were trying to catch Royal Navy deserters and no Americans were intentionally kidnapped
>the US lost most major engagements in the War of 1812, there were a few naval "victories" won by cheating when you used ships-of-the-line you passed off as frigates to pulverise sloops half their size that were manned by green sailors
>the burning of Washington was entirely justified for your having burned York, Canada
>the Battle of New Orleans was meaningless and affected nothing as the war had already been ended about three weeks earlier, but it took a while for news to cross the Atlantic
>the entire war was just a minor distraction anyway because we had a real apocalpytic war to the death going on in Europe

If they refused and were still taxed, that is taxation without representation you stupid bong.

>>the American colonies did not have "taxation without representation", they were offered seats in Parliament and refused
Incorrect. Objectively. A few in parliament wanted to extend representation, but the Prime Minister chimped out and refused!
>>George III was the furthest thing from the Pol Pot-esque figure he was made out to be, just a harmless bloke who liked shagging his potato-faced German wife
He wasn't uniquely bad, no. He did attempt brutal war upon us though, and as such he became the worst person in human history.
>>the Boston Massacre happened when a rioting mob threw rocks at soldiers and John Adams defended some of the latter in court and got them exonerated
The soldiers overreacted, but yes they were somewhat provoked. The Americans rage was justified however.
>>none of the taxes in question were unreasonable and all were necessary to recoup the costs of the world war that George Washington started
1. They were high given the fact that they were on the most consumed goods
2. GWash didn't start the war
>>It was entirely justified to retain armed soldiers on the Canadian border after 1783 in the event of American invasion
The issue was that Americans were forced to quarter and feed the soliders without their consent
>>the US lost most major engagements in the War of 1812, there were a few naval "victories" won by cheating when you used ships-of-the-line you passed off as frigates to pulverise sloops half their size that were manned by green sailors
No such thing as cheating in war. And the war was a tie given that the status quo reinstated was the end result of the war.

You are leaving out the part where the American colonies were banned from freely trading and developing their own manufacturing base, because shitain knew it would be mogged by all their colonies if they could (which happened after independence)

You are this mad, OP.

>>212428743 (OP)
It's funny when you think about the fact that if Britain had just treated us like they later treated Canada and Australia it would've never happened.

in all fairness the war was really Lord North's fuck up

>>212428743 (OP)
>all were necessary to recoup the costs of the world war that George Washington started
That's like saying Japan started WW2

London tried to cockblock the colonies from homegrown industry or export of goods and there were entire forests marked for use by the Royal Navy so you weren't allowed to touch them.

independence was almost an inevitability in the long run
