Just a brief plug here for this great course.
His lecture on The Sugar and Stamp Act, great.
See especially the account of efforts by Johnson to collect a little sugar tax from the denizens of Rhode Island, Newport in particular.
Truly great stuff.
Debunks a lot of nonsense that comes out of the mouths of reenacters and many many others....
call it misplaced patriotism.
