The American Revolution happened because rich white people didn't want to pay taxes. The first settlers came to form a theocracy (not flee religious persecution). The nation is founded from great myths.

Pretty sure it had more to do with being taxed while having none of the rights of a citizen. In other words, taxation without representation.
