King George III & taxation

by ItsGK

If King George would have conceded to the colonists and gave them representation with taxation in the first place, would this have prevented the American Revolution or was that always an inevitable event?

A longer account of George III's part in pushing for a strong military response to the colonists is in Don Higginbotham's The War of American Independence.

An exploration of the British conception of "virtual" representation ( as opposed to the modern "actual" representation) can be found in Gordon Wood's classic The Creation of the American Republic.
