Debate on War Policy and American Rebellion
A late 18th century House discussion questions Britains right to govern America and criticizes Administration for delayed, costly measures. It condemns reliance on foreign troops, reveals distrust of intelligence from officials, and notes support for reconciliatory methods before war escalation. The motion by Mr Fox fails 104 to 240 after a long debate led by North Barre Howe and others.
