No, America got their independence because the wealthiest didn't want to pay tax to England.

And I seriously doubt the Crown wanted them to stop expanding or treat the natives better before that.

If you actually think England would have honored those treaties to stop expanding tho...

Surprise! They'd have broken them just like America made and broke them.

They have, yes but not as much as they were after the independence.
