The American Duties Act

Is it possible that a single act of parliament could have triggered an entire revolution? Well yes, in a way. Especially when that act was the American Duties Act and specifically impacted Samuel Adams (who made that act his personal problem). Today we’re talking about George Grenville and his rivalry with Lord Bute and how that somehow changed the world because of Samuel Adams and his rabble rousing tendencies. Is there a riot? No, but with good reason, that you'll find out next time (I promise) But what even was the American Duties Act? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
