The colonists of 1754 to 1776 underwent dramatic alterations. The colonials gained a realization of individuality as well as a sense of concord as Americans. By the eve of the Revolution, the colonists had developed, for that extent, a sense of unity and identity as Americans. There exists, however, credible evidence to support the idea that the magnitude in which the colonies had developed a sense of identity and unity was nominal at best. Although many colonists united in their protection of rights as Americans, there were many who opposed the prospect of independence. Some noteworthy colonials who opposed this separation were Mather Byles, who stated that it is ideal for Americans to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away rather than by three thousand tyrants not a mile away and Peter Oliver, who argued that the Americans disbanded from England after the English government had protected and promoted America.
