IIRC -- and it's been a long time since I studied this -- colonials
were British subjects and should in theory have had the same rights as
the people living in London.  Not the same rights as the aristocracy,
but that's not what they were complaining about.  Not that this is on
topic anyway.

  The American Empire was established quite a while ago--it's just
that, unlike the British Empire, almost all the natives we subjected
were on the same continent.
  Will we have a global hegemony?  No--remember that Canada and UK
have to step in and form the Anglian Confed...
