And it was against their own settlers because the settlers wanted to settle more, not against the colonized people. It’s not hard to argue that the British were the lesser evil in the US Revolutionary War
i dont think the narrative that britain was going to meaningfully stymie colonial advance holds water. the context is literally after they'd annexed Canada, a very large expansion of colonial territory. the thing was not apportioning the conquered territory toward the great lakes to the 13 colonies or Canada yet, and the adjacent colonies who felt like they 'earned' the territory with their militias' piss poor performance in the war decided it was a grievance.
a policy aiming to keep the Canadians from revolting ends up giving Virginian landowners a reason to. but like, theyd have been just as pissed if Britian let New York expand over Virginia
