What I found odd about this history lesson was that there was no mention of The Madness of King George III... She did an entire show about his insanity and how everybody blamed him for losing the war...
at that time there were merchants that were buying tea in India for very little money and then shipping it to America and making a big profit... Well the Stamp Act and the Boston Tea Party screwed up that whole business! They also bought tobacco and cotton in the American South and shipped it to England... And beaver hats from the North...
