The colonies have always been closely connected to Britain. However, with the recent events like high taxation with no representation, I know it is time to seek independence so this unjust treatment ends.

The colonies deserve fair treatment and taxation with representation. After all, what kind of country ignores its citizen’s pleas and only uses them for their own
