Thomas Paine's pamphlet, Common Sense, argued that the British had no reason to rule the whole nation of America. Even if Britain claimed to be the 'mother country' of America, the actions Britain took were horrendous, almost moreso with this context, as no mother would harm her child so.
The original thirteen colonies were under British rule, and it was against this that the American Revolution was directed.
They didn't rule the world, but they colonized most countries in the world.
In Thomas Paine's Common Sense, he stated that It was absurd for an island to rule a continent. The colonies were not just British, but a mix of people from all over Europe. Britain was not the â??mother countryâ?? because no mother would treat her children the way Britain did . Distance from Britain made British rule impractical and being a part of Britain would drag America into unnecessary European wars.

Yup! Britain invaded and took over North America but had no intrest in Southern America as it had no benifit to them. America wanted Britain out and had previously had 5 attempts to remove Britain from America but failed. Then America joined Forces with Spain and France who also wanted there freedom from British rule. The French,Spanish and Americans fought Britain for 7 long years in an attempt to remove the British,then the war was ended by a treaty and Britain pulled out. At the same time Britain was fighting 3 other wars wich had much more importance and alot more to lose/gain with Napolean and the French Empire,Mongol Empire and Japanese Empire. Southern America was to young a country and had nothing for the British to gain.
