George III was the king of Great Britain. One of the interesting things about him is George continued to replace the prime minister, who has replaced four. The ministers said on there were many discussions. The contradictions between George Sans and the prime minister make it clear that a government without full confidence in the king does not live long.…
The colonists have 3 main charges on King George the 3rd. The first charge is the Quartering Act, that wasn’t fair to the colonists. They had to house the soldiers that they hated with despair! The second charge was “Taxation Without Representation.” The colonists had no idea they were going to be taxed. The King just gave them the taxes without any notice. The last charge was The Boston Tea Party. Samuel Adams and the Sons Of Liberty boarded three ships and threw 342 chests of tea overboard! This pulled us even closer to war.…
King George III ruled Great Britain during the years of the American Revolutionary War. American colonists were unsatisfied with his rule. As indicated by Bob Ruppert, between 1774 and 1776, he passed out many acts that people detested. Passage of the Coercive Acts, the Quebec Act, the New England Restraining Act, and the Prohibitory Act. King George lost all of the people's trust and faith. "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may be define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people", Thomas Jefferson stated, saying that the king is a tyrant who violates people's natural rights and should not have power upon free people thus convincing them to support independence.…

King George III’s reign lasted for forty years, in which his main aspiration was to uphold the power of the British Monarch. During George III’s time as King, he withstood many difficulties such as a stressful childhood, issues with all of the British Colonies, the Revolutionary War, and the loss of his own sanity. In the King’s era of rule, society began to change by slowly separating from the crown and church. Although George III’s main goal was to ensure the crown kept its power, the British public became increasingly unhappy and parliament slowly began to obtain more power. King George III’s diminishing mental incapacity was a result of overwhelming stress due to the desire for independence and freedom from the British Monarch.…
In July 1776, General George Washington led US citizens to start an insurrection which go against to British. American people fought the war with determination, but their weapons, backup supports, even men were way behind than British Army. When General George Washington defeated by British Army and retreated from New York City in August 1776, many assumed the American Revolution would be over. Realizing he could never beat the British military with might alone, General Washington instead tried to circumvent it and turned to a network of spies to out-maneuver his opponents.…
The king was also a tyrant. First, he let all of the above happen, and other things too, like the Proclamation of 1763. He declared the colonies ‘out of his protection’ and then proceeded to start the Revolutionary War. If he never sent people out to colonize America, this probably still would’ve happened, but people would overthrow him to create a new government.…

Nicholas I really enjoyed reading your post I found it to be very interesting, it was especially interesting when you mention that lives were lost in the war for independence between the American colonies and the British. Don’t you think that it is interesting that the king showed his support to the American colonies in getting their independence and that the American Revolution was also an inspiration to the people of France? I think that this is really interesting because the king showed his support and then the cause he was supporting was what inspired the people to fight for liberty and equality. It kind of makes one wonder if the king truly thought about his decision of supporting the American colonies, because if he did think about it…
