i don't really think any good precedent will come from making major geographical name changes on the basis of pressure from social justice activists

Hahahaha Taxation Without Representation my friend. King George III was a petty tyrant that treated the 13 colonies horribly by taxing the heck out of them so I say the American Revolution was justified.

1. The rebels only cared about representation for the rich people of the Colonies, not the working class, women, blacks, etc.
2. King George III was a [somewhat] Constitutional Monarch
3. It was Parliament under the leadership of the Tory Party that introduced the taxes and other policies.

The British were still petty tyrants that treated American citizens like second-class citizens repeatedly and without remorse.
It basically went like:
"Hey, let's blockade their ports, dissolve their legislatures, try them in military courts, rip up charters, don't approve their laws, use military force to intimidate legislatures, and basically run the colonies like a totalitarian dictatorship!"
And then the Americans rebelled and the British were all .

While Britain taxing the colonies were wrong, it was quite small compared to what the people of Great Britain paid. I think it was 1/10th the colonists paid compared to those of the homeland.

Yes.
