A Taxing King Colonists had been ruling themselves for a while The leaders had never been to the colonies “Mongrel Breed”- Mixed breed dog/mutt Mixture of ppl. Some mad at Eng.’s comments-some still considered themselves Eng. Weren’t really English-they were Americans

A Taxing King Colonists were different then the Eng. in Europe Colonists went thru hardships to get to America Built homes & farms in thick forests A king couldn’t tell the colonists what to do

George was sick- disease effected mind/emotions
