and the british government and british people naturally thought british subjects in british north america should share the cost of the war with their fellow citizens in britain. in fact, the government had raised property taxes so high in britain that farmers rioted in protest and demanded that americans pay their fair share of the war. so in 1764, the british government extented to the colonies a stamp tax that everyone in britain had been paying for more than o 70 years. it amounted next to nothing for the average citizen. a penny or two for a stamp attached to legal documents, publications, and the packages with nonessential products such as paying cards. the hardest tax were on members of three power special interest groups, they had them back then too. these three groups were the merchants, publishers, and lawyers. the merchants had to put a stamp on every purchase order, every bill of sale. publishers had to put a stamp on every newspaper, magazine, and lawyers had to put a stamp on every legal document, deeds, wills and such. two clever politically ambitious bostonnians, james otis

an month, british manufacturers and exporters drew huge financial losses to british trade fell by 50%. the british merchants, british exporters demanded that parliament repeal stamp tax in america to restore trade relation. 1765 parliament did just that and turns them on and james otis than two euros in boston. not just who are these heroes? both were from wealthy families and like many sons of wealthy new englanders they were harbored. we all make mistakes. if they had gone to yale they would have behaved themselves, gone out and gotten good jobs. adams was fun of boston's largest brewer. you still see the name that the current cinema and stare at nothing to do with the original brewery. his father died when sam is 36. until then, sam had been too lazy to earn a living on his own finale at taking control of the prairie and could have ran into bankruptcy. he allowed the family manager and seemed unconcerned with earning money, married, fathered two children after his wife's death his champion liberty bond himself a slave and racist children in abject poverty. his father found in the s

elsewhere into the british empire. they took 15,000 black slaves with them bringing the total exodus to 75,000 people, or 1 in 40 members of the american population traveling to canada, britain, journeyed to the baa bahamas and some further to africa and india. wherever they went, this voyage of exile was a trip into the unknown. in america, they left behind friends and relatives, careers and land, houses and native streets, the entire place they built their lives. for them, america was a less asile line up of the prosecuted. it was the british empire their asylum offering land to help them start overment this did not mark an end, but a fresh beginning and carried them into a dynamic uncertain new world. now, i just read you the first couple pages of this book, and in this book what i tried to do is lay out and explain what happened to the loyalists next because usually our stories end, the conflicts in 1783, but as i for this population, the repercussions we want on in new places. i tried to instill the experiences of

do the british people, not you elite, but do the british people really want us as their special friends? >> i think we're a bit schizophrenic about it. it's fashionable to be disful of the americans. the brits are more liberal, we're more secular than most americans and that plays into kind of public opinion. but suggest that the special relationship is not as special as it might be and that throws us into a complete tizzy. so when barack obama moves the statue of winston chump church hill it's all over the front pages, we hate it. and it suggests to us we've moved into an era in which america might be looking beyond britain's shores. there's a closer relationship in some ways with -- when it comes to policy, with other countries. chris: i really think -- >> i think kathy has a point. you mentioned the word with marriage earlier. the special relationship is like an arranged mearnl marriage. it needs genuine love. we had the love between tony wlare and george w. bush. it was perhaps a bit of a fatal attraction. we didn't have the love between bush's father and john major. but we have the
