The lead up to the American Revolution from the British perspective. We revisit how divided Britain was over the American issue. The episode takes a close look at the dual failures of the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act.
We discuss how the Irish example prevented there from being any resolution to the "taxation without representation problem." And how the core problem was about so much more than taxation.
The situation was that the Americans, under the imperial system, were living under a tyranny, technically, even though it was benign and the British never had any bad intentions towards the Americans. Any Resolution would have required a leader of vision and energy. Could one be found?
