When the Patriots revolted against our mother country’s rule, they were in the wrong.

Great Britain has protected us from hardships in our new land and has supported our endeavors…

The road to the Revolutionary war was a tiring, uphill battle for the Colonists and the British. The relationship between Great Britain and the American Colonists were never a cordial, or a generous one. In the eyes of the Colonists, King George III was a tyrannic thief, who used the Colonies to syphon their money through taxes in order to increase his own wealth.

Two acts of parliament, the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765 began the dispute between Britain and America. Based on the current standard of “no taxation without representation”, the colonies disputed the impositions from parliament since they were not being represented in the British House of Commons.
