How would being an English citizen affect colonists perspective on independence?

It would change their perspective in total as colonists truly believed that they are British and that they have the same rights as someone in London or some other other city had. The deprivation of their rights is actually the main reason why they started the Revolution.

Explanation:

Colonists were mad at the government in London because they didn't treat them equally. They were asking for the taxes to be lowered and to allow them to have their representatives in the government. As king and Parliament didn't reacted on this as colonists expected, they had no other choice than to start a Revolution.
