He wanted political union but all his attempts failed, it wouldn't happen for another 100 years after him being crowned.
The main reason Scotland joined the Union in the first place was because it's banks and it's nobility lost a fortune in failed investments in Panama and needed bailing out.
It had nothing to do with the English subjecting them to anything, they entered in voluntarily.
