The book gives you a good idea as to how the fundamental principles of American government and society were being trashed even back then for the benefit of the political class.
I an reading Jeff Shaara’s “Rise to Rebellion” and highly recommend it to any one wanting to know the facts about the lead up to the War of Independence. The Sons of Liberty sound an awful lot like our Tea Partiers. And King George like 0, and our congress like the Britts Parliament of that time period.
