Was King George III a hero?

Answer 1

NO! King George III was not a HERO. He acted horribly to the Virginians. Whatever the Virginians made, like crops, food, anything like that, King George would make them sell it to the British for a really really low price. So it's like they do the work for nothing. The answer to this question depends upon your point of view. To the American colonists he was not, because of some of the reasons above but also because he imposed harsh taxes and laws upon the colonists. To the British he was a hero, because he attempted to keep the American colonies within the British Empire. He also fought France in Europe. France was a long time enemy of the British, so any King that fought the French would be a hero to the British. One last try...This is a question that calls for an opinion not a fact; therefore it cannot be answered. To most Colonials was not a hero. Just read the Declaration of Independence to see what Congress thought of him. It is spelled out prett explicitly in a laundry list of gripes they had with George. Never the less, many other colonists who remained loyal to the king thought of him as a hero as they fought to remain British subjects. They liked him so much that when the war ended many of them packed up and went to Canada. There is actually a community of people descended from loyalist colonials in Canada who celebrate their British heritage. On the other hand, many British subjects disliked him intensely because the war was expensive and the King was taxing the fish and chips out of them to pay for it and losing the war in the bargain. Some hero. My opinion: Not a hero. Case closed.
