However, there is more to the king than what the rebel colonists made him out to be. King George’s reign of nearly 60 years was full of hardships and setbacks, yet he was a hard worker who was kind and looked out for the welfare of his empire.

It is apparent that King George III’s fundamental philosophy in regard to disarming the colonists was that he believed the colonists were not worthy of free will. George Mason wrote,” To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”1 This was King George’s agenda through the bullying techniques of the British Army led by the treacherous General Gage.
