Secrets In The Sugar Act

How much do you know about what led to the American Revolution? You’ve probably heard about “No Taxation Without Representation”, Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, or The Shot Heard Around The World (though the details you’ve learned may not have been accurate). What do you know about George Grenville, though? Do you know about the 18th century politics that brewed a revolution that dismantled an empire? What if I told you that the roots of the American Revolution are buried deep in a set of resolutions presented to the British House of Commons in March of 1764. You’ll find out all about it on this episode of Founded.
