I have an ancestor who was born in 1776 in Sussex who was named Philadelphia. Not sure if there’s a connection but it’d be nice to think so!

The British Empire in 1780 was so much bigger than 13 colonies, most English probably did not think abt us.

Outside of the US, Independence Day is just known as Friday and Treaty of Paris was signed on a Wednesday, I don't think they were that important here

Actually quite a few debates coeval with Revolutionary war; some took the side of the colonists, while others took the side of the king. Same happened

Judging by contemporary literature, people were far more concerned with the 1789 French Revolution than the American problems.

I'm sure it impacted trade and the price of goods so in that respect I'm sure they weren't pleased.

Highly recommend Adam Harvey's 'A Few Bloody Noses' for the history of the AR. Seems Brits thought of the Americans as oppressed fellow English men.
