The British thought the colonists should help pay for the cost of their own protection. Furthermore, the French and Indian War had cost the British treasury £70,000,000 and doubled their national debt to £140,000,000. Compared to this staggering sum, the colonists' debts were extremely light, as was their tax burden.
Hope this helped :)
While the Persians did enforce some rather retrospectively horrid punishments specifically punishing the Egyptian aristocracy by selling there daughters into slavery and killing their sons it is important to remember that everything from a historical perspective is realities. <span>the Assyrians on one hand once invited its enemy's over for a feast and served them their own son's head on a platter. then proceeded to rip out the eyeballs allowing them to live the rest of their lives with the last sight being the head of their sons.</span>
