Why was the war with America unpopular with many Englishmen? The colonists were Englishmen, with relatives in England. France's
entrance into the war threatened England itself. The war lasted longer and cost more than the king had expected and promised. Many Englishmen wanted the colonies to be independent so they would be free of the burden of supporting them. They feared that an independent America would be a threat to their naval power. They objected to the large loss of life and high taxes the war brought.
