Question

If you were King George, what would you have done to prevent war AND keep her American colonies within the empire?

Answer 1

Answer:

If I were king George:

I would welcome American delegates who had traveled to London to listen to their complaints about the behavior of British authorities and the taxes.  I´d promise them to reflect upon their views and complaints and take a decision regarding taxes and ask army commanders for suggestions to improve the soldiers´ relationships with the colonists. In reality, I would make some concessions and improvements, I could ease the tax burden but only a little, as the finances of the empire were in bad shape after the Seven Years War with France and having to defend more territory in the New World.
