∙ 11y agoThe Americans wanted to maintain the status quo from the pre-1770's, in which they were largely able to oversee their own affairs, under British protection. Had Britain established a means of allowing the Americans local autonomy, while still maintaining defence and foreign trade regulation (as they did 100 years later with the Dominion of Canada), the Americans likely would not have rebelled. It was only after a decade of political missteps by the British government, after the French and Indian War, in which they increasingly applied more and more direct control of the colonies (the Stamp Act, Quebec Act, Townson Act, the Intolerable Acts, etc...), did the colonies more toward seeking independence. Even after independence, the Americans did not seek to radically change the political and economic status quo, unlike the French and Russian Revolutions, making their revolution one of the most conservative revolutions in world history.
