>than ideals
Almost goes without saying. The only real "ideals" that drove it were religious ones concerning tolerance (except cathtards of course) and the ideal of "were Englishmen, why the FUCK is the King stepping on our rights??"
The funny thing is that almost as soon as the Seven Years War wrapped up in '63 the King/Parliament started doing just the most dumbfuck shit concerning the colonies because nobody was actually familiar with what they were like at that point. Had King George paid even half a mind to the men that actually campaigned there against France and had come back to tell their tales he would have realized the """colonists""" were a diverse group of people from literally every corner of the Kingdom. New Englandfags were from Anglia, Southrons from the south-west and London, mixed with Scots-Irish seethers, and the Middle Colonies were a hodgepodge of DvtchBvlls and Scots just looking to create a better social model than what they saw in the slums of Britain proper. These were true Englishmen, still as attached to the Crown as the Loyalists would be in the middle of the Revolution.
Picrelated - this is the nigga that literally coined the term 'Sons of Liberty' kek but nobody heeded his warning about trying to oppress them
