King George III
1774:
“The die is now cast; the
colonies must either submit
or triumph.... we must not
retreat."
1782:
"I cannot conclude without
mentioning how sensibly I
feel the dismemberment of
America from this empire,
and that I should be
miserable indeed if I did not
feel that no blame on that
account can be laid at my
door, and I did not also know
that knavery seems to be so
much the striking feature of
its inhabitants that it may not
in the end be an evil that
they will become aliens to
this kingdom.“
