Most colonists wanted to break off from Britain, was because of treatment. Britain mainly used the Colonies for personal gain, with no regard for the colonists. They were not even given basic right/privileges. Ben Franklin once said that he wouldn't mind being called an englishman, if it meant getting the same privileges as one.
The only reason I can see for some colonists to keep staying with England, and all the benefits that come with it. Such as taxes possibly not being bumped up, etc.
If it were up to me, I would break off from England. I/We would be able to run our country the way WE want to. We would be able to increase of decrease taxes as we please, able to ally ourselves, etc. All of that with the threat of England punishing us.
