在我们一直以来的印象中,美国的独立总是同反抗专制和强权联系在一起的,作为宗主国的英国先是征收高额的印花税,然后垄断茶叶贸易,最后还派兵野蛮地镇压北美居民的反抗运动,北美居民似乎自始至终都站在道义的制高点,是被逼无奈而起来反抗英国统治的。但这种描述其实与史实有一定的差距,英国人当时也被北美殖民地逼迫得无可奈何。
As we have always been impressed, the independence of the United States is always associated with the resistance to dictatorship and power. Britain, the sovereign country, first imposed high stamp duty, then monopolized the tea trade, and finally sent troops to savagely suppress the North American residents’ resistance. North American residents seem to have stood at a moral high ground from beginning to end and were forced to stand up against British rule. But this description is actually a certain gap with the history, the British were forced by the North American colonies were helpless.
