SEVEN YEARS WAR RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF COLONIES

It was neither about nationalism, or about the white race in America, at least at first. 

At that point, Seven Years War, 1763,  it still had nothing to do with either early developing (British) monogenesis, or (colonists', and later, 19th century, Americans') polygenesis.  

Subsequent post Enlightenment, 19th 20th and 21st century scientific discoveries have shown conclusively, of course, that monogenesis was not how humans developed at all.  But that is a different topic.

Re Seven Years War, I haven't read the books, but this seems to make sense, chronologically, and tactically. Clark, in an aside.

The origin of the term patriot went back to the opposition Whigs of 1720s, (complicated story) and that is the source, and the time period, give or take 20 years, of much of later American rebel rhetoric. Clark, p 91.  Not Locke. Bailyn, Robbins, Palmer, Schroeder, Clark.
