If America were to remain under British rule it would only cause more conflict between the countries in Europe because other countries were trying to get a piece of America for themselves.
It’s cause they want to become something that shows pride and honor, an American. Along with the name come a number of different benefits such as freedom of speech to express your own opinion, freedom of religion and equality for all, including different sexes, races, religions and status. Being an American means much more than living in the United States. I am very proud of my privileges as an American because many other countries are not fortunate enough to have all these freedoms.
