American "Revolution"? Fought for by aristocrats and lead to little major political change. Boston "Massacre"? Five people dead, less than shootings today. British "tyranny" upon elite American colonists? A tax exclusively on tea, not literal genocide like they did to India and others
They also coveted fertile indigenous lands like the Mississippi Delta. The only thing standing between them turning the plantation system into a full blown empire was British policy forbidding settlement beyond the Appalachians. The Revolution fixed that problem.
