Towshend Duties
Let it just be another will of the most honorable monarch of the mortal realm - he who presides as most feared and most gracious for allowing us our lives and our liberties as British citizens - King Henry III, that the Townshend duties be upheld. Let these gifts to our leaders, our protectors, give us grace in their minds and eyes and grant us a new peace. We have asked for their security of our selves, and we must, in turn, give upon those whom so thusly rescued us from the savages and French the compensation they must gain. Their wealth can only be measured by our wealth, and we must build upon them revenue through these duties and Act the Parliament has passed in our name alone.

You are saying such nonsense. The Townshend duties are taxing things that have never been taxed! Where have you ever heard of taxes on things such as glass, lead, paper, and most of all TEA? No where. Only British can do such a thing like that. They are treating us like slaves. We are free people and have rights too. You say they protected us from the French. I agree to that but now we have to pay all of those expenses. It is complete nonsense. Britain already gets most of it's merchandise from us colonists and now they say thats not enough, lets tax them even more. What you said is true. Their wealth is measured by our wealth, but how? They get OUR exports. Without OUR merchandise, they will loose all of their wealth. The time has come for us to separate from them and then, we will become more and more wealthy.
