Relations between the future Americans and the British were complex. For a long period, the assistance of England had been necessary to survive in the colonies while the weight of the British Crown was too far away and limited to cause resentment. With time though, a new wealthy class emerged in America, one that could imagine a flourishing future without Britain. Ideas of emancipation appeared. At the same time, the Crown strengthened its control and exerted pressure over the Colonies. New taxes and regulations caused resentment and nurtured the rebellion, along with some tragic events such the Boston Massacre. The Patriot cause gained more and more of an audience as a result, even if most people seemed to remain loyal to the Crown.
