Republicanism in the United States
By the 1770s, most Americans were dedicated to republican values and to their property rights.  This helped cause the American Revolution.  More and more, Americans saw Britain as corrupt; hostile; and a threat to republicanism, freedom, and property rights.  Many people thought that the greatest threat to liberty was corruption  not just in London, but at home too.  They thought corruption went along with inherited aristocracy, which they hated.
