Definitely a worthwhile meme, but there are some facts that should be addressed too.

The Colonies had good intentions with all of the political ideas for sure, but the Crown was facing 2 revolts at the same time - the American Colonies and India.

Both were lengthy trips from England, meaning news was very slow as to how well things were going and what was needed - moreso India than America.

Eventually the Crown decided to commit more to putting down the revolt in India than in America, giving a huge amount of breathing room to the Colonists.

Without the drain of resources to India, along with the time delays, much more attention would have been paid to keeping the American Colonies under Crown rule, and the Revolution would have most likely been squashed.
