The British colonists in North America objected to tyrannical rule by
the British nobility, which heavily taxed them and violated their
rights. The thirteen British colonies united and on 4 July 1776, they
declared independence from Britain.
British armies were sent to prevent the colonies from having independence. George III was King of Britain and he paid £3,191,000 to lease 22,000 troops from a Catholic – Frederick II of Hesse-Kassel. The German troops were used to fight against the American Revolution. This shows the British King and the Vatican worked together to try and stop the American revolution.
