Sunday Afternoon Talks: THE INTOLERABLE ACTS AND WORSE: THE GONG SHOW OF BRITISH/AMERICAN POLICY" Online

“Be a king,” said Princess Augusta of Saxe-Goethe to her son George, newly crowned George III of England in 1751. In that, as in many matters, George listened to his mother. She, in turn, listened to advice from Lord George Germain, 1st Viscount Sackville, and Secretary of State for the Colonies. As did so many who had held that position before him, he misunderstood the nature of the transplanted Englishmen who populated England’s New World colonies. A long history of heavy handedness and punitive measures on the part of Crown and Parliament set into motion a series of diplomatic and commercial blunders finally drove the 13 breakaway colonies to declare for independence. Join us as we ZOOM in to history.
