patriot side on king george III

As a patriot there are many reasons why I, Patrick Henry, dislike King George III (3rd). One of the many reasons is all the taxes that were passed by parliament. He started taxing us on sugar; or known as the sugar act. One of the worst things was the taxation without representation; they would tax us but not represent us. The one thing that didn’t involve a tax was that we couldn’t print our own money; we wanted our colony to print the money not Britain. Nobody except the loyalist wanted to keep King George III; well actually they didn’t want to disobey him. All the things he was doing was unfair to us, we had no benefits. The financial problems of Great Britain complicated the situation even more than it already has. They started out taxing us on stamps; they knew we needed them for official documents. Then the Townshend act was put into effect, that’s when we were taxed on goods which included basic items such as glass, tea, paper and lead. We had to import them because we didn’t make them. We all are just tired of all the taxes that parliament imposed. We felt like only our representatives had the right to tax us. After the Boston tea party happened, they set out the intolerable acts. They closed the Boston harbor until the Massachusetts colony paid for the ruined tea. The laws took away many of our rights, they were also making the Boston people shelter soldiers in their own homes. Those were just some of the reasons why I disliked King George III (3rd). I think it wasn’t necessary to tax us, people could barely afford food for their families even before the taxing started. What King George III (3rd) did just isn’t the right thing to do.
