I think the key difference between Britian and the US - is that the Brits done it in the name of colonialism whilst the US do it under the guise of Human Rights.
So lets see here...
We are English when it's important to claim status but when it's about real history of activities then there is a supposed distinction. Correct me if I'm wrong here but hasn't the UK been in lockstep with almost all US action of the last and present Century?
The problem with the 'colonialism' angle is that the majority of the locations 'colonized' already had people there.
PEACE.

That's right. The crown wasn't just going to roll over and give it to us.

By the way, the American Revolution wasn't really a big deal to the British as they had more important things to worry about. The uprising would have been a little blip on the radar.

And you left out the 'u'.
Etymology
Middle English colo(u)r, from Anglo-Norman colur, from Old French colour, color, from Latin color, from Old Latin colos "covering", from Proto-Indo-European *kel- ("to cover, conceal"). Akin to Latin cēlō (“I hide, conceal”). Displaced Middle English blee (“color”), from Old English blēo. More at blee.
