Dan Walker’s Reviews > Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution > Status Update

I'm frustrated when writers downplay the amount of taxation the colonists were paying during the run-up to the Revolution. There were about 150 years of precedent on taxation. Plus, the colonists were REQUIRED to buy exclusively from Britain. Thus, it was not unreasonable for Britain to pay for the defense of the colonies. The mercantilist economic policy is only hinted at by this author. Frustrating.
