The Spectator on Britain's Crisis Over America
The Spectator laments deep divisions in Parliament over America and warns of dire consequences. It laments indecision, pleads for unity, and notes ministers restrained by feverish debate while colonies await action. Reports from Barbados and Antigua show Stamp Duty resistance and slow distribution of Stamp Paper.
