8 0

If there's a fire in Ninth, Tenth, or Eleventh Street, for example, any hour of the day or night, I'm usually there . . . . If a family is burned out I don't ask them whether they are Republicans or Democrats and I don't refer them to the Charity Organization Society, which would investigate their case in a month or two and would decide they were worthy of help about the time they are dead from starvation. I just get [a place to live] for them, buy clothes for them . . . and fix them up till they get things runnin' again."

I believe it's because the British Empire inconsistent treatment.
At first, British empire treated the colonists fairly and both of them developed a mutually beneficial relationship with one another.
After 1763, the British Empire issued a regulation that banned the Colonists to issue their own paper money, which make it realy hard for the colonists to pay off their debt.
