Well, it was their colony. I'm not sure where you're getting the 'kindness of their own heart' from.
Probably because you're biased and need to supplant legitimate arguments with ones that are easier for you to argue against.
The fact is that the colonies needed British help to win the French and Indian War. They got the help they needed and then decided they weren't going to repay those who helped them. It was a shitty move supported by greedy scumbags who got to shape the rest of the nation in their image.
How about you try arguing with what's actually said instead of supplanting it with what sounds nice in your head? You'd come across as less reddit-brained if you do so.
Yea, the funny thing is they were also shit to the people who helped them gain their independence afterwards like the French when the Americans argued their obligations were null and void once the aristocracy was overthrown.
