During 1775, colonists were forced to decide if they would support the rebellion or the King. Most Americans believe that if they had lived in that time, they would have supported the rebellion, despite the very real threat of death from Britain for treason.

Was there a lot of immigrants during the American Revolution?

The original non-native Americans were IMMIGRANTS. Many of the people living in America during the American Revolution were immigrants. The British Colony of America was often used by Britain (and other European Countries followed the same practice) of unloading their criminals, by banishing them to the "Americas." Like Australia, America was loosely used by European Nations as a "Penal Colony."

Did colonists in America pay less taxes than british citizens living in England?

Yes, American colonists generally paid lower taxes than British citizens living in England. The British government imposed various taxes on the colonies, but they were often less burdensome compared to the taxes levied on British subjects. Additionally, many taxes in the colonies were indirect, such as tariffs, rather than direct taxes, which further contributed to the perception that colonists were being taxed less. This disparity in taxation became a significant point of contention leading up to the American Revolution.

Why are only citizens of the US called American while Mexico and Canada are also on the North American continent?

The terms "Americans" or "American colonists" were used by the British way back when the USA was only a colony of Britain. After the USA was formed, people living in this new country continued to be referred to as Americans. So American people did not choose to call themselves that. If anyone presumed that people in the territory of what is now the USA were the only "Americans," then it was the British. The term is not exclusively used by US citizens either. Many other countries refer to US Citizens as "Americans" also.
