I'd actually be surprised if anyone was really thinking in terms of "industrialization" as the wave of the future in the 1770s. If anything, given how factories at the time were basically little more than cottage industries in specifically fabrics, it would tie the colonies to the motherland because of the need for trade links.
But, then, maybe I'm wrong and there was some of this sense. It seems anachronistic to me, though.
It was written in the vein of 'Murrica: good, Britain: Evil Empire bent on oppressing the settlers and taking their guns, taxes and freedoms.
(I presume you mean "British North America" instead of "The USA", though - that sounds like an anachronism too, because by the time it was "The USA" Britain had neither policy control nor a fear of rebellion, it was kind of late for that...)
How pedantic!
