Revolution of American Independence

Passiveness of Britain

The colonies have felt oppressed by Britain for a while which was not news to Britain since the colonists have lashed out with acts of violence and rebellion. Therefore, the Declaration of Independence did not seem like a great concern for Britain.
Picture
The British flag that symbolized power all over the world.
Had been dealing with colonial rebels for years

The Declaration of Independence was an unauthorized document that had no actual power or significance in British minds

Seemed like another one of the colonies acts of rebellion

Were already fighting with the colonies in the Revolutionary War

Kept fighting, hoping colonial obsession with independence would soon subside
