Ain't that the truth! I remember reading somewhere that most of the

But if the Brits won, we'd have to pay taxes. It was worth fighting for NO
taxes. Oh, wait, that didn't quite work out did it?

It wasn't about taxes, rather representation. The FF really *wanted* to be
treated as Englishmen rather than property.
