That isn't true either though. The motivations were war taxes levied as a response to a war they started, being unable to compete with British tea exports, and the potential enforcement of British laws like "Don't fucking invade another country without asking you fucking numbskull". American rich people were not kept down or prevented from competing or in any way inconvenienced. They still paid less tax than the British did and still had access to free land they stole.
Really it's an object lesson that the bourgeoisie will never be happy
Don't forget the crown setting limits on westward genocidal expansion (casue it cost money to defend the settlers for little gain).
