In 1778, King George III sent an offer to the Continental Congress, hoping it would satisfy those pesky Americans. Here was his offer:

-Peace
_Trade
-American consent to British forces in America
-British aid for American public debt
-American self-rule, but under the Crown
-American representation in Parliament

We said NO! And the rest, as they say, is history…

God bless the United States of America. And Happy Independence Day! Be safe.
