"Nothing is ours, which another may deprive us of."
-Thomas Jefferson
How easily people forget that property rights were a big part of what drove the American revolution. In the case of the 1772 pine tree rebellion the people fought back against the King's ownership of the trees.
The Dunmore proclamation during the revolution seized the property of patriot families in part for opposing the King and in part for debts owed for the ongoing war. The property was auctioned off to loyalist families or awarded to britishofficers.
