      For real, their complaint of “royal tyranny” was that the King refused to overrule the elected Parliament’s law against genociding the native Americans.

        The royal proclamation of 1763 was not a major factor in tensions in the colonies.

    I don’t think they taxed stamps, they were tax stamps on goods indicating that taxes have been paid (to people they didn’t want to pay taxes to).

      They were stamps as in they were stamped into paper. The stamp act 1765 was about that. Basically anything printed in america had to be printed on paper from london. That paper had a stamp embossed on each sheet.

    I mean, to be fair, they wiped a high enough percentage of the locals in NA off the map that your meme is about stamps and sugar instead of the genocide that happened.

      The people who mad about tea and sugar are not the same as the genocided ones.

    “Discover” “new” land, kill everyone who lives there.

    Standard operating procedure really.

      Closer to “divide and conquer” then treat the native people like subhumans and extract everything of value. Note that the “American” in this meme is a colonist not a native.

    Actually, usually we are doing the clenched hands meme with the center being hating the British.
