Postscript on the colonies and Mansfield in colonial war debate
A dense political polemic critiques Lord Mansfelds handling of colonial history as a pretext for war against the colonies. It argues Massachusetts Bay withholds nothing, defends its past loyalty, condemns the method of judging by scattered votes, and warns ministers against conflating taxation with independence. The piece calls for judicial restraint and cautions that pursuing conquest would fuel further conflict.
