What is the British perspective about the American Revolution?

The American Revolution (1775–1783) severed the bonds between the thirteen colonies and Britain. Britain had thought its rule of the thirteen colonies was benevolent. It had protected the Americans from the French during the Seven Years War (1756–1763), and it thought the Americans should help pay for that war.
London's relationship with its colonies had always been largely based on economics. Britain and the thirteen colonies had engaged in a profitable trading relationship for more than a century. In 1775, a group of British merchants expressed their concern about a potential loss of business in the event of war.
Economic concerns also weighed heavily on London's decision-making in the years before the war. The British government wanted to increase its revenue by taxing the colonists. The Americans resented all of these efforts: no taxation without representation was their mantra.
London always exaggerated the number of Loyalists in the colonies. It is difficult to know how many Americans remained loyal to London, but the number was almost always far smaller than the British leaders believed. At the end of the war, many Loyalists moved to Canada.
Increased tension between the sides resulted in the first battle at Lexington and Concord in 1775. By 1781, the British realized that they had no chance of winning against the thirteen colonies. It decided to end the war in order to protect other British interests. Therefore, the status of the thirteen colonies became a collateral matter to London.
