How might people in ireland and american colonies react to british attempts to increase control over those regions?

In short, the British treated their colonies in vastly different ways, both across different regions and within the same colonies over time.  The American Revolution was a unique event in British imperial history. There were many other British colonies in the Americas, including the various Canadian colonies (Quebec, Nova Scotia, St. John, Newfoundland), West and East Florida, and colonies in the Caribbean, all of which did not rebel in the face of the same greater imperial overreach and increased taxation.

Ireland's history is a long story of suffering, suppression and poverty, but also one of strong people who refuse to give up and who manage to see things from a humorous side in the face of hardship. After most of Ireland got its freedom from Britain, the northern part remained in union with England, Scotland and Wales.
