For those who are interested: A Britisch view on the American independence war
Thoughts?
Pretty much I would say it was the colonists who were the arrogant ones but it was the Crowns fault for that arrogance. The Crown had allowed the colonists near self autonomy from the very beginning and the Brits argued the colonists had virtual representation in the exact way thousands of British subjects in England who did not have a vote.The Brits were arrogant and it cost them a colony
If they were willing to give equal representation to those in the colonies, none of this would have happened

Have a transcript we can parse? I don't do YouTube or vids on a message board, but ye I would like to read some on the topic, unless it comes from left wing loons, in which case it would be very un-interesting. The 'Revolution' wasn't popular at all with most colonials when it first kicked off, even Ben Franklin's son was a Tory, but it later gained steam. Even after the war ended the New England states were constantly threatening to secede for decades and join back up with Great Britain until the 1830's or so.

The taxes the Crown attempted to institute were a result of the coffers being depleted because of the Seven Years War known in the American colonies as the French and Indian War arguably started by a Virginia militia colonel by the name of George Washington. The Crown felt it was only fair that the colonists pay their fair share, the colonists on the other hand never had direct taxes imposed upon them due to their virtual autonomy and resented it. Of course by the time of the revolution the colonists were already extremely unhappy with other moves the Crown had made against the colonist's wishes, two of the greatest were the banning of the colonists to move into the rich Ohio Valley and the granting of full subject rights to 70K Catholic French Canadians, many of the American colonists wanted to bring the Canadian colonies under their exclusive control.

Its a bbc documentary looking through the history through the eyes of the British
This is the best I could find: BBC - History - British History in depth: The American War of Independence: The Rebels and the Redcoats
"Rebels and Redcoats" (2003)
Rebels and Redcoats - Wikipedia
