Considering his debilitating madness, George III wasn’t such a bad chap, especially by the standards of the time. He acted as a constitutional monarch supporting the initiatives of his ministers.
Per Andrew Roberts, author of The Last King of America, he was a “good-natured, enlightened constitutional monarch, who inconveniently for the Founders also genuinely admired the Glorious Revolution of 1688 as much as they did.”
Eventually they will refer to Independence Day as a “Right-Wing Holiday”.
I thought I read that his actual cry was "The regulars are out!"
This garbage does not belong on American Thinker.
1. George III's "madness" didn't become perpetual until 1788.
2. Between 1760 and 1776, the colonies tried repeatedly to rid themselves of the institution of slavery. As alluded to by T. Jefferson in his first draft of the Declaration of Independence, each effort was thwarted by George III and/or his cabinet. So the reason slavery was so entrenched in the original states, the reason their economies were so dependent slave labor, the reason they could not afford the manumission of all their enslaved Africans without equitable remuneration, was interference from the British monarch.
All of which leads directly to a War Between the States.
Thanks, Georgie!
