Answer 1

OC. His government's policies led to the discontent of the colonists.

Step-by-step explanation:

George III was the King of Great Britain and Ireland during the American Revolution.

The policies that created disaffection and fomented rebellion in the colonies-such as the Stamp Act (which George III thought "abundant in absurdities") and the Townshend duties-were generated by successive British ministries.

In 1765, Prime minister George Grenville proposed an act, called the stamp act. King George accepted the act because he wanted direct tax on the colonies. this act required the colonist to buy a stamp for every piece of paper they used. newspapers, Wills, Licenses, and even playing cards had to have stamps.

George consented to the hiring of thousands of Hessian mercenaries to assist the British troops already in America in crushing the rebellion. The Revolutionary War lasted nearly eight years, largely because King George refused to surrender the colonies.
