The RsYolution. ..

Who knows why this country is not part of the British empire2 Because, you will say, the early Americans ob- Jeeted to the British system of taxa- ton without representation. That Is what most of the histories say. but it is not quite true. fn the first place. the eeIonlsts objected to taxation with or without representation when the mon- ey was to be used for an army to keep out the Indians. The eoionists were foolish enough 10 think that such an army was not needed. But after they hnd begun their war and called them selves independent the British govern ment agreed 10 all the demands the colouists had made. There was no longer any danger of taxation without representation The Americans were left without anything very important to fight for legally but that did not stop their fighting Chicago News.
