Yea, thats a good argument, but its incredibly biased, obviously.
On Taxes:
All thos taxes you list, those arent a reason to revolt. Because, and I'm being completely serious here, they were repealed when the colonists threw a fit. I'm not even joking. Stamp Act, Suagr Tax, Townshend Act, all of it (except tea, but we'll get to that later), were repealed. As in dont have to be paid. Because the colonists didnt like it. Thats a sweet deal when you can get out of taxes by not liking them.
The Tea Tax - ah the big one. First, to preface my statement, GB gave one company a monopoly. Only the (I think East) India Trading Compnay could sell tea and it would be taxed. Remember, one comodity because we complained. Thats it. Anyway, the colonists said "No, I want my own smuggled tea"
And they did just that . . . despite the smuggled tea was inferior to the standard tea . . . and it was less expensive, after taxes. So the colonists wanted more expensive shitty tea. Yeah, these guys arent caught up in the moment at all.
Now all these taxes come from one main source. There was this party in the woods called the French-Indian War. To anyone who doesnt know, the colonists sort of wandered off into clearly marked French trading routes and yelled "surprise" with some guns, then when the Native Americans yelled "bon jour" with their tomohawks, they cried until GB got involved. But a big ass war across the world costs money. So, to fund the war the colonists started that was fought by the Brits, they decided to tax them.
On the Sedition Act - it never became anything more than an empty threat.
The Qaurtering Act- supplying the troops WE begged for is expensive, so we should pay them for doing it. this is only fair.
Intolerable Act- makes sense really. If you dump something that logically is a good thing into the water, you should only pay it back. And if we're all in a huff because the Brits didnt let us assemble (cause the last time we did, we acted so maturely), thats what happens when you do terrorist things. LA riots anybody? National Guard showed up and put everyone in time out.
So lets review:
1. The Sugar Act, Townshend Act, and Stamp Act dont matter. at all. Because they were repealed when we bitched enough. if anything, they help the case that the colonists were kind of overreacting.
2. Tea Tax - they made us buy good tea and an affordable price to fund the war we started. The nerve of them.
3.Quartering Act - if we're going to say we're afraid of the French and Indians, and refuse to pay any taxes whatsoever, this also makes sense
4. Intolerable Act - a rational reaction to a completely irrational occurence.
So . . . the colonists are ruled by this guy, who really doesn't do anything, lets them get away with whatever they want (there was NEVER a serious threat to the smugglers) and will protect us when we fuck up . . . NO, WE DONT WANT LIFE TO BE THAT EASY! FUCK YOU BRITAIN!
