Many of the colonists had very negative feelings because A. the German mercenaries had a reputation of ruthlessness and B. many colonists considered themselves British citizens, and were hurt that England would send foreign troops to attack them.
In my opinion,Colonists would be overly excited to get pissed off because of Britain's childish acts. so I say SCREW YOU to Britain
There were alot of reasons, too many to count, but mostly the colonists were angry about taxes and unfair laws.
The British hired mercenaries. German troops known as Hessians. The reason Germany drew ire was that these soldiers were hired out to the British by the German government. The British used the Hessians in several conflicts, including in Ireland, but they are most widely associated with combat operations in the American Revolutionary War. About 30,000 German soldiers served in the Thirteen Colonies during the American Revolution.
One reason that the Patriot colonists wanted freedom from Britain was so that they could have religious freedom. They want to worship in their own way.
they finally got their freedom and Britain was taxing them to pay for the French and Indian war WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
The US was angry due to the German blockade of Britain because of frequent commercial shipping from the US to Britain.
The colonists wanted peace with Britain so they created the Olive Branch Petition and when the King rejected it, the Patriots (colonists who wanted independence) rebelled against Britain. The loyalists are the colonists who remain loyal to Britain.
