Did the majority of colonists want Independence?
From the book "History's Greatest Lies", Page 122 , under the heading:
The Legend of the Three-Way Split
"There is a widely published opinion that in 1775, about a third of the colonists wanted independence from Britain, a third were loyal to the crown, and a third were neutral.
The proposition sounds like something dreamed up by British Historians."

It seems that this legend is a myth. Almost every colonist hated taxation without representation, among other things.
