Excuse the novice question here...But the colonists gratefully accepted help from the king during the 7 Years War, no? Was it that unreasonable for the colonists to feel they should reimburse for that?

Does anyone know if there are any revolutionary Battlefield locations in the us ?

OK, so this could be a bit of a stretch, but I'm curious to know if there were any books on revolutionary war history that highlight Major David Wilson.

My family are direct descendants and my aunt's a major genealogy nerd so I want to find a book or something along those lines that highlights our ancestor.

It's a super broad question and I'll be thankful for any replies 🙏❤️

I'm currently looking through my university's library (i'm a PhD lit student) to see if I can find anything. I'm debating reaching out to the Journal of the American Revolution to see if they could recommend anything-- do you think that'd be a good idea?

Thanks!

My parents have been pretty involved in genealogy for many years. During a recent conversation with my dad I discovered that Daniel Morgan was my Great(x7) Grandfather. It was not something that had ever come up in conversation before so needless to say I was pretty surprised.

Considering that I'm a direct descendant of his I'd like to find out more information on him. I love military history, but it's always been mainly focused on WWII and Vietnam. I have read some books on the Revolutionary war but very few. I know there are several books out there on Daniel Morgan, but I was hoping to get some suggestions from some Revolutionary war buffs as to whether or not there are any specific resources that you would recommend to find out more about him, both on his personal life as well has his involvement in the Revolutionary war. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello fine folks,

I've recently developed a interest in reading the Royal Gazette from the years of the Revolutionary War. However, I've struggled to find a source. Is there a library archive anyone would know of? I've done some google searches and haven't found much other than a few scans of an issue or two.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I've been going through my book collection and found a mint condition 2 volume set of the Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution by B. J. Lossing. These are the 1976 Bicentennial "luxury" limited edition of 505 copies, printed by the Caratzas Brothers with the blue covers.

These are in gorgeous condition, no sun fading, no foxing, no writing and tight bindings. I've had these since 1980, I'll have to research to see what these sell for but if anyone is interested in these, please send me a message and I can send pics.

Thanks

For history class, I will be debating someone role playing as William Pit. I will be Benjamin Franklin. The theme is Loyalists vs. Patriots. I'm on the Patriots team (obviously). Here's my points so far
Benjamin Franklin- America Owes Taxes Because of the French/Indian War:

Topic: Americans owed taxes after the French and Indian War because the war was extremely costly for Great Britain, and to recoup the expenses incurred defending the colonies, the British government began imposing taxes on the colonists to help pay off the war debt, leading to growing resentment among the colonists who felt they were being taxed without proper representation in Parliament. 

•  Benjamin Franklin believed that the heavy taxation placed on American colonies after the French and Indian War, which they largely funded, was unfair and contributed significantly to the growing discontent that eventually led to the American Revolution; he actively protested against such policies through his writings and political actions.
•  Franklin strongly argued that the colonies should not be heavily taxed without representation in Parliament, a key principle that fueled the revolutionary movement. Initially moderate in his stance on the issues that divided the colonies from the mother country, Franklin’s perspective evolved to one of vocal support for independence. 
•  Franklin also wrote satirical essays on the relationship between an overbearing Britain and its colonies in North America.
•  He also  played a significant role in protesting the Stamp Act, a tax on printed materials, by lobbying against it in Britain and exposing its unfairness to the colonists.

I have two minutes to argue my point. Any tips or ideas? Not sure if this is the right subreddit. Keep in mind arguments should be in first point of view.
