Answer
The British believed that America was their colony and the colonists being English natives must serve their mother country. It was for this reason that the government in the colonies was brought under royal control. However, the Americans no longer wanted to remain subservient. They wanted to protect their American identity which they had developed over the years. Thus, this contest between imperialism and colonial home rule led to the war of American Independence.
