Modern day historians (the good ones) recognize George III wasn't a tyrant at all.
The revolutionaries just found it to be a useful story to tell to gain support.
They wanted independence to avoid helping Britain pay off the debts it accrued protecting the colonies from the French.
It's funny that Americans still buy the story that he was a tyrant.
