>english people who hated european tyranny and were willing to brave the hardships of the new world to get away from it
You are just inventing stories to make yourself feel good.
Many of the original Settlers were Puritans who went to America to impose Christian tyranny on the 'Godless natives'.
Secondly; They weren't brave people, they were run away cowards who left because they had nothing to lose and never fitted in.
Compare them to runaway teenagers.
The people with decent stable lives never needed to go anywhere.
Sorry to piss on your fireworks but that is what happened.
