How much do you know about the relationship between Britain and the 13 American colonies? Did the colonists just hate the mother country? Was America the biggest problem parliament faced during the early years of the American Revolution?
On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out about The Stamp Act debates that were happening across the pond. Parliament had surprising timing and everyone had opinions. George the Goose Grenville is back in action arguing against the colonies but his opponent was a hero to liberty. All of the suspicion and power struggles created the beginnings of a self fulfilling prophecy.
Key Players:
King George III: The king of England
George Grenville: powerful member of parliament, goose
John Wilkes: Radical Whig, lover of liberty, popular with colonial patriots
Francis Bernard: Royal Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, in theory
Samuel Adams: Radical Whig, lover of liberty, early leader of the revolution
