I picked the one I was most familiar with, I will not claim to be an expert in the field of politics, especially 18th century politics. The little reading I had done led me to the conclusions I had expressed. Your post has given me pause to re-evaluate those conclusions, and I will do further reading to find out more about the situations at the time. Also, I will not claim I think the taxes were 'unfair' I don't know enough about them to know what was common for the time, or country, I simply put it forward as what is commonly claimed. Those leading the rebellion felt the taxes were unfair. That isn't a statement of fact 'The taxes were unfair' it is a statement of an opinion that is portrayed. There are so many different sources for many of these events it is difficult at times to decipher who is prettying up the history for their own agendas, but I will do more reading on the situations surrounding the time period.
