The legilatures then asked for a seat in parliament for each colony, which was refused, hence the cry "No taxation without representation". Even then the revolution didn't start until the colonial Governor of Massachussetts tried to confiscate an armory owned by the local militia. George III wasn't really a tyrant; he just didn't understand why these ungrateful colonials didn't want to act like good subserviant British subjects.

So loony or entitled ignorant, I would venture you choose ignorant. Cybermat made a comment he may have been a loony toon, was just wondering if something may have been found academically.

Loony I can almost give a pass to, the latter not so much.

I am glad that we left, but am happy to have the Brits on our side here in modern day. I can think of no sturdier ally.
