He’s the man responsible for the loss of Britain’s North American colonies, and a cruel, despotic monarch at that…these are both perceptions of King George III, and it’s realistically how many Americans learn about Britain’s king at the time of American independence. But he reigned for 60 years…and the Revolution lasted for 8, so clearly there must be more to this man than just “losing a war,” right? In our final episode of Season 2 of History: beyond the Textbook, we’ll explore the reign of King George III, Enlightened King of the American Revolution.
