What event that didn’t happen could have prevented the declaration of independence and the american revolution

I don’t really know of an event that didn’t happen but if The British would have treated the colonists as friends rather then enemies it would have gotten them out of dept, and we could have never seen independence. If the British government had granted the colonists representation, it might have been prevented. Another branch off of that is if the British want so greedy to keep the American trade for itself and share more with the French. There was a prohibition on trading with France. France was a major market for American goods, especially food, but Britain wanted to keep all American trade for itself so they decreased their share of goods.

Hopefully this sort of helps.
