After watching the new Ken Burns documentary I feel bad that I compared Trump to King George III. The King was a much better ruler than Trump.

Running this roleplay account and doing searches on "George III" has shown me an ugly side of Bluesky. People comparing him to Donald Trump. Calling him the "mad king" and claiming that affected his governance prior to 1776, long before his mental condition set in. 1/2

The people on Bluesky who claim we were a "mad tyrant" hardly ever have a bad word to say about Leopold II of Belgium, one of the worst colonial despots in all of history.

Nov. 12, 1775: Lord North tells King George III that the Cabinet urges "a large & speedy augmentation of Force," particularly a corps of foreign troops. He believes that mercenaries from the Hessian and Brunswick states in Germany would serve in America if their rulers were offered "large terms."

People on Bluesky seem to genuinely believe European monarchies (well, the UK, I doubt they even know others exist) have monarchs with direct unlimited power to make laws. This wasn’t even true for George III.

The last time (1600s) a King of England had the power to implement taxes (tariffs) without Parliament's approval, he literally lost his head (Charles I)
George III didn't tax colonists, Parliament did
Trump's tarrif taxes need congressional approval.

Nov. 5, 1775: George III receives numerous memorials from towns in England and Scotland expressing abhorrence of the "unnatural rebellion" in America and professing loyalty to the king. The profusion of addresses is no coincidence, but the work of Prime Minister Lord North to please his sovereign.

Yes, everyone after George III. The only Kings of England not to speak English as their first language are the French speakers from William I to Henry III, Dutch-speaking William III and German-speakers George I and II.

Proclamation of Rebellion
The Proclamation of Rebellion, officially titled A Proclamation for Suppressing Rebellion and Sedition, was the response of King George III to the news of the Battle of Bunker Hill at the outset of the American Revolutionary War. Issued on 23 August 1775, it declared elements of the American colonies in a state of "open and avowed rebellion". It ordered officials of the empire "to use their utmost endeavours to withstand and suppress such rebellion". The 1775 proclamation of rebellion also encouraged subjects throughout the empire, including those in Britain, to report anyone carrying on "traitorous correspondence" with the rebels to be punished.
