    It wasn’t really the taxes, that was their excuse to get the masses to agree to a rebellion.

    The main reason was land. They wanted to expand west to continue growing cotton and tobacco. Kentucky and Tennessee were ripe for cultivation, however, the British empire had made a proclamation in the 1760s saying the colonies were not allowed to expand further into native territory.

    The taxes were a tactic to get the poor people to die for them, so they could get rich off of stealing more land for these crops that destroyed the soil they already had


  • This person who is insisting we punish low level criminals because they all will turn into high level criminals needs to stop playing GTA, pay a bill or two in life, and realize that poverty creates desperation, and in fact, locking up “low level” criminals actually exposes them to the more hardened ones who have turned it into a lifestyle.

    If you don’t get thrown in a cage with dangerous people and treated like an animal, your odds of rehabilitation skyrocket.

    Exposing people to violence, punishment and harder criminals is the least productive way to rehabilitation.
