Growing sentiments of self-governance and the desire for individual liberties further fueled their push for independence.

Since I am not personally a believer in the supposed divine right of kings, I do not see any basis for King George III to rule the American colonies against the wishes of the colonists.

The colonists were no saints, either.

The utterly false rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition comes from an ill-starred attempt to make English conform to the rules of Latin grammar, where a sentence may not end with a preposition. English is not Latin: we can end a sentence with a preposition IF WE WANT TO. Winston Churchill said that the Victorian grammarians' diktat that a sentence must not end with a preposition " . . . is a restriction up with which I will not put".
