american revolution from the british point of view?

I learned about their perspective from a book on King George IV

This link aught to help:

It includes the primary documents that illustrate what the British were doing as well as some of the analysis, which you'll find on the BBC site listed there.

For an overview, I recall how the book on George IV mentioned that the British were upset with the colonists for not fighting with the redcoats in the Seven Years War and hardly contributed in the French and Indian War. A good sum of their penalizing laws followed the battles of the French and Indian War to try to recooperate costs.

Since the British were feeling the financial strain of their imperial wars with the French, they needed to tax money from the colonists to uphold their empire. The colonists, however, were not privy to the 'big picture' and became impertinent, rebellious, and revolted ultimately. That's the gist of the POV.

I pray it was helpful.

I don't know that link but I can give you a quick synopsis.

From the British point of view the colonies represented an investment. They paid for the trip across the Atlantic and they paid for the set up of the American infrastructure system. They enacted taxes to help pay off the high costs of defending the colonies from the French. The reason that they did not allow the Americans to vote in parliamentary elections was because they new that news traveled so slowly. The British new that the Americans would not be able to become informed about the issues and candidates from across an ocean.

What a novel idea. They actually prevented the uninformed from voting. Of course look how well that worked.

The British factor of view used to be that the Americans had been being very grasping, due to the fact that Britain had consistently paid for America's safety; but America violently refused the primary time they had been requested to pay a small aspect of America's safety.

Go to www.history.com this will give you the facts on Great Britain and from their perspective the Colonial wars.

quite simply ,the colonists were traitors nothing more and nothing less.
