Ben Franklin was called the father of paper money. Colonists, particularly in Pennsylvania, had created a super economy using script money and then George II crashed that economy into depression by banning script money. Or did you actually think anybody was going to fight a war over tea or some tax on tea??

Do some research, honey. All that paper money was backed by gold in banks.

Whoever taught you History belongs in a prison cell for fraud.
