King George’s Side of the Story

<p>To the British, the American Revolution wasn’t a fight for liberty—it was an act of ingratitude.</p> <p>After defending the colonies in the costly French and Indian War, Parliament expected the Americans to pay their fair share. Instead, they got boycotts, protests, and rebellion. Renowned historian Andrew Roberts, author of The Last King of America, explains how a series of British missteps turned resistance into revolution.</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.
