George III’s reign shaped the birth of the United States
The essay traces George III from a hopeful English king to a ruler whose insistence on personal authority and tax policy helped ignite the American Revolution. It notes his misreads of colonial sentiment, the Stamp Act repeal aftermath, and his later resignation to illness as the nation moved toward independence. A public notice follows about Kennebunkport town hearings for liquor licenses, then lost pet notices.
