To be fair though, a lot of Americans said this in December of 1773. There were loyalists aplenty, and non-loyalists who didn't want to get involved (muh work, muh family). The idea that the entirety of the colonies were one united people against the British Empire is fake news. And that's good, because people need to understand that the entire country doesn't need to be in unison to fight for change. Most humans are just followers, even if they know what should be done. That's why nothing in history happens without those who lead.
it's all so tiresome

Keep all of that in mind in the days to come.
Wasn't there only something on the tune of 10% colonist support for the revolution, the rest either apathetic or loyal to the crown?
