Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book argues against the measures passed by the Continental Congress in response to British rule in the American colonies. The author, writing in the 18th century, opposes the Congress' decisions, believing them to be of poor quality and mostly ineffective. Referencing specific acts such as the ban on tea imports and the boycott of British goods, the author presents a case for continued British rule over the colonies. While acknowledging the right of the colonists to protest, the author believes that separation from Great Britain would have devastating economic consequences for the colonies and would lead to domestic tyranny by a new American government. The main focus of this polemic is to persuade colonists of the folly of revolution and the benefits of remaining in the British empire.
