didn't Bill Bryson uncover facts behind the US statement of grievances ?
namely the calling "together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable" - only 3 states had had their legislative bodies moved - at most to a distance of 4 miles or so.
and most of the tax raised (the colonists were taxed at a very low level compared to the Brits) was used to defend the colonies.
