Probably not. It's only recently that countries have become independant through peaceful means. Back in the 18th century letting go of colonies would have been seen as a sign of weakness and would probably have resulted in you losing many other colonies to rebellion.

Buying independance is slightly more likely, but still probably will not be in. Especially because only emergent factions could do this, and none of them are playable. (Except possibly the US).
