Did he make the English people pay taxes? No. Then why should the colonists have to pay taxes? Were the people in England being taxed on everything they used out of paper? I don’t think so. Then why should the colonists have to be taxed? If King George and his ministers had attempted to make the treatment of both the people of England and the colonists equal, then the Revolutionary War might’ve never occurred. <br /> -Emily A. 1/2B<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-30664377272333887172014-02-04T22:09:26.067-05:002014-02-04T22:09:26.067-05:00I think King George III made a big mistake by tryi...I think King George III made a big mistake by trying to get the colonist to pay taxes for his bad decisions. He maybe should have tried to send support and not just tax bills. He also could have asked for help and advise from the people around him. Maybe he could have spread the tax burden between England and America.<br /><br />Miranda BadrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-48777608677901946552014-02-01T11:56:00.936-05:002014-02-01T11:56:00.936-05:00Katy M

This would have prevented the American colonists from getting mad because they wouldn't have felt like they were cheated on. The only reason King George taxed the American colonists was because he needed to make up for the money he spent on the French and Indian war. If he taxed England and America, he would have made the money back twice as fast and it would have prevented the outbreak from the Patriots.

First of all, he could have ended some of the taxation on the colonists, preventing an uprising and outbreaks. Also, he could have hired someone to work and solve the issues with the colonists. With his disease, it was nearly impossible for him to negotiate with them. If the Americans had a better leader than King George, perhaps someone from Parliament, then maybe we would all be British today.<br /><br />Ryan M. 5-9BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-5878312854234121132014-01-24T18:11:16.864-05:002014-01-24T18:11:16.864-05:00After learning about King George, I can tell he co...After learning about King George, I can tell he could have done a bunch of different things, to stop a uprising. I think that King George could have made a move to find a representative who could voice the opinions of the colonists in Parliament. Because of the king’s disease he really couldn’t speak or have meeting properly or he would really go crazy! Therefore, his illness took over his opinions and he couldn’t make a proper decision. The colonists just wanted a normal and fair leader and instead they got stuck with King George. However, a new perspective would be; if King George wasn’t so nuts, would we have a British accent today? <br />Paige S. 5-9AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-70744559553884621022014-01-22T12:59:26.152-05:002014-01-22T12:59:26.152-05:00I think if King George didn't tax the colonist...I think if King George didn't tax the colonist there would be no fights. The colonist were getting mad because of all the taxing they decide to get aggressive. The whole reason the Boston Massacre happened was because King George sent British soldiers to watch over Boston. Also, The Boston tea party happened because the colonist refused to pay extra for their tea. If King George would have stopped the taxing and took away the British soldiers, I think we would still be under British control, and we wouldn't want our freedom because we weren't being unfairly taxed.<br />LaFeir J<br />5-9BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-26172380293961039782013-12-16T13:03:21.121-05:002013-12-16T13:03:21.121-05:00I think that if King George didn't tax the col...I think that if King George didn't tax the colonists so much, there wouldn't be such a fuss between the two sides. he was taxing them on everything from lead to stamps to paper to wine and a bunch more. The colonists expressed their opinions to the King on this and he didn't listen. Has it ever occured to him that if he didnt spend so much money in war to get England in debt then the colonists might not have been so annoyed with him? The king was simply taxing the colonists on something that they didn't need to be taxed on.

Firstly, instead of taxes on just the colonists he should of spread it equally all around England too. This would make it a little more fair to everyone and the colonists wouldn't feel so mistreated. Secondly, the King should have given someone to represent the taxes so there was no taxation without representation. If he had done this, the colonists wouldn't have gotten so upset because they would have someone there for him. Lastly, King George didn't need to put taxes on so many things that everyone need and it set the colonist way back to poor right when they started to succeed in their towns. Perhaps if King George the third hadn't had this many setbacks, we wouldn't of had that war, but then again we might not of gotten our freedom.<br />Bella M <br />5-9AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-4530534315813590372013-12-09T13:01:18.199-05:002013-12-09T13:01:18.199-05:00I strongly believe that King George III could have...I strongly believe that King George III could have not taxed the colonists as much.

Since King George III had a disease, he wasn’t able to communicate with his ministers and had random outburst at people like hitting or swearing. For instance, King George had to be strapped down to be contained from hurting others. As a result, he was a harm to others, not intentionally, but because of his illness which took over both his mind and actions. According to the text on page 29 of our packet it states, “They tried to send a message to the king. They wanted him to know they would not stand for his unfair treatment.” This proves that King was treating many people unfairly, and people longed for the king to be able to not only listen, but to also be able to understand. In conclusion, the colonists and citizens of England wanted a normal ruler, not someone who treated them so unkindly.<br />Sofia T & Sophia Z, Period 1-2 BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
