Which you then sold back to us for money. Hence money flowed into
England as I said above.
Face it, we built your now defunct empire.

Did you know that making shovels (among many other things) was
illegal in the American Colonies under English law? You wanted to
force us to buy finished goods only from you. The American
Revolution actually started when we began forging our own steel
tools in defiance of the law.
The industrial revolution was also the beginning of your undoing.
Once it crossed the Atlantic, we no longer needed you. You English
were just an unnecessary middle man to be cut out of the equation.
We kept our raw materials to make our own finished goods in our
own factories. Once the rest of your colonies started doing the
same, your empire's days were numbered.
