Helpful Score: 1
This is an excellent account of the real cause of the United States revolution. Taxes were simply an issue, though be it; a very important issue. The power to tax; is the power to destroy, & rule over.
The Colonies were made up of Armed, Free men. It wasn't paying the taxes that drove them to armed resistance. Unlike today, the taxes levied by Briton were so minimal, they were barely a nuisance.
It was the fact that Briton had the authority to levy the taxes; which drove these great men to war.
As was stated so many years ago; by one of our Forefathers: It is not Arms; a Tyrant fears. Nor is it Free men; a tyrant fears. It is the spirit, of an Armed Free man; a tyrant fears with all of his being. Therefore; beware a government; which does not trust its' Citizens with Arms.
260 years later, nothing has changed.
