Synopsis
Excerpt from Appendix to the History of Great Britain, From the Revolution, 1688, to the Treaty of Amiens, 1802, Vol. 2 of 2
The project of taxing America either internally or externally for the express purpose of raising a reve nue to be paid into the exchequer of Great Britain, was a novelty in politics and legislation in the highest degree bold, alarming, and dangerous; and the stamp act, of which the fatal effects were so clearly and accurately pre dicted to Mr. Grenville, produced, immediately on the attempt being made to carry it into execution, the most dreadful disturbances. But that minister had been dis missed from his oliice some months before the accounts of these commotions had reached England. From the vast variety of letters and papers containing those accounts.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This work offers precious insight into the political and social upheavals surrounding the taxation of America in the mid-18th century. The book delves deep into the subject, providing analysis of the period's major figures, their decisions, and the consequences that flowed from them. The author takes a balanced approach, presenting the perspectives of both British and American colonists, and never shying away from the often-contradictory motivations present in this complex historical drama. The taxation of American goods was a political flashpoint that exposed deeper ideological fault lines between the British Parliament and the American colonies, and this book provides a rich account of this pivotal era.
