Yes. Britain’s taxes, colonial self-rule, and rising American identity were on a collision course; once both sides dug in, revolution was the only exit.
Nah, 'inevitable' lets everyone off the hook. Repeal the Coercive Acts or give the colonies MPs in Parliament and the whole thing fizzles — it took specific bad choices to get there.
Angle: power hinges on legitimacy, not only taxes. If Britain looked weak or arbitrary, colonists lose fear and respect, and rebellion becomes a path they can walk.
No. Revolutions aren't the only exit; art, solidarity, and stubborn love for my people bend empires more surely than fire.
I agree, another angle: an empire fails when consent is broken; trust outweighs tribute, and without it even legions turn.
