4. My post saying George III was the good guy:

In short: G3 proclaimed in 1763 that colonists should stay east of the mountains and leave the Indians alone. Founding Fathers had land greed; they wanted Ohio and Kentucky. Thus, many Indians (Tecumseh) fought for the British.

"The proclamation and access to western lands was one of the first significant areas of dispute between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies"

I will add here that slave colonies wanted more plantation land. Many Blacks fought for Britain's promise of emancipation.

Land greed was a big driver of the revolution.
