Dickinson, who hoped desperately to avoid a final break with Britain, phrased colonial opposition to British policy this way: "Your Majesty's Ministers, persevering in their measures, and proceeding to open hostilities for enforcing them, have compelled us to arm in our own defence, and have engaged us in a controversy so peculiarly abhorrent to the affections of your still faithful Colonists, that when we consider whom we must oppose in this contest, and if it continues, what may be the consequences, our own particular misfortunes are accounted by us only as parts of our distress." By phrasing their discontent this way, Congress attempted to notify the king that American colonists were unhappy with ministerial policy, not his own. They then concluded their plea with a final statement of fidelity to the crown: "That your Majesty may enjoy long and prosperous reign, and that your descendants may govern your Dominions with honour to themselves and happiness to their subjects, is our sincere prayer." By July 1776, though, the Declaration of Independence proclaimed something very different: "The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States." In fact, Congress insisted that Thomas Jefferson remove any language from the declaration that implicated the people of Great Britain or their elected representatives in Parliament. The fundamental grounds upon which Americans were taking up arms had shifted. The militia that had fired upon Redcoats at Lexington and Concord in April 1775 had been angry with Parliament, not the king, who they still trusted to desire only good for all of his subjects around the globe. This belief changed after Congress learned that King George refused to so much as receive the Olive Branch Petition.

The King supported it because he was mad at the Patriots/Colonists because of the Boston Tea Party.
It got the colonists mad that they had no representatives in the British Parliament and were being taxed. That was all it did though. It did get some more people on the side of the patriots.
The King Of England (by then the King Of Great Britain) was George III.
The King of England imposed hard laws and taxes on the colonists especially the intolerable acts. He also treated them unfairly.
This phrase is found in the Declaration of Independence and refers to the king of Great Britain at the time: King George III. The "mad king" suffered from a disease called Porphyria which caused him to have temporary lapses in judgment and episodes of insanity.

Why I want to be a Patriot Do you wonder why I want to be Patriot? I'm writing about Patriots because they're interesting and unusual. I am going to write about unfair King George, independence, and the events that happened to the Patriots. First, as we all know, King George was unfair to the Patriots. The taxes were too high. The taxes really hurt our businesses. Our lawyers fought in court with the Loyalists because of how unfair the Loyalists' and King George's laws were. We didn't only fight about how unfair the laws were; we also fought about how the taxes were unfair, too. Also, King George appointed governors. King George was very unfair! Next, Independence was another important thing to the Patriots. Independence brought wealth and freedom to the Patriots. The Patriots thought independence was very important to them because businesses would be better and less unfair, than the Loyalists' businesses. Another reason why the Patriots thought independence was important is because if they were independent, they would have fewer taxes. The Patriots would at least lower the taxes! Finally, the Patriots had a very interesting life. They had many events happening in their lives. The Loyalists shot the Patriots. That was a very important event. Five people died, and six people got wounded. This event was called the Boston Massacre. Suddenly, the Patriots snuck to the Loyalists' houses because they wanted revenge on them, especially when they fired the bomb on us! Everyone knows about the Boston Tea Party. This event was one of the most important events in all of history! The Patriots were really mad about the really high taxes paid for everyday goods (tea), so they just dumped tea into the harbor! That was a very big waste, but that's how mad Patriots were about Loyalists! Hopefully, now you know why being a Patriot is better than being a Loyalist! Again, I would choose to be a Patriot, because the Loyalists were unfair (including King George), independence, and the Patriots had many events! Patriots are very interesting and fun to learn about!

Their attempted escape from France was seen as a traitorous act.
