The King overstepped our rights when he began to unfairly tax us for the French and Indian War. He mistrusted us too and sent Lobster Backs (or red coats) to towns to avoid a rebellion. Most of them were assigned to Boston. (Where most of our patriots lived). Not only did the soldiers take up room in our cities... but they were RUDE. When the Boston Massacre happened they unfairly slaughtered our Whigs. (We may have stretched the truth there a little bit using propaganda but STILL.) After all and all we sent the king one more chance to avoid war- but he ignored the paper and didn't even LOOK at it.
