What were the main issues of disagreement between the Britis

The king wished to beat the Whigs at their own game and to restore the power of the crown by creating a political party of his own. In the end the king George III obtained exactly the government he wanted. George III obtained the ministry he wanted but it was this government that infuriated the colonists and drove them into revolt.
             For the first ten years of his reign George III was supportive and conciliatory towards the colonists in America. He ordered the stamp act to be repealed and in 1769 the proposed punishment of Massachusetts by altering her charter, the king refused to allow it to go ahead. But his policies were soon to change. The Boston tea party was seen as a personal attack to his rule. But Boston tea party was not meant as an attack on the king but as a way to rebel and show their discontent with the taxes. These tax's had been imposed by a ministry that wished to keep them happy and quiet but only helped to push them into rebellion. It was not that the ministry were unprincipled villains, but that they were simply incompetent. "In the end it was ignorance confusion and unresponsive to the crying needs and issues rather then corruption or deliberate ill will which convinced the Americans that their liberties were no longer safe within the British Empire."(The growth of the American republic vol II p139) .
             .
             As a consequence of the French and Indian war the British realised that the Americans might wish to become free. A British army would have to be stationed on the mainland. To support this army they realised that tax's would have to be imposed on the Americans so to facilitate this. As well as paying for the army the taxes would pay for the huge debt that the British accumulated during the war. Tension had been building between the British government and the colonies for ten years before the revolution and this tax's was the light that ignited the fires of rebellion in the hearts of the American men.
