Summary "Farmer George, Volume 2" by Lewis Melville is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume appears to chronicle the reign of George III of Great Britain, focusing on the significant events and conflicts between England and its American colonies, particularly issues such as the Stamp Act and the subsequent dissent it incited among Americans. The text discusses various political figures and actions from this tumultuous period, shedding light on the complexities of governance and public opinion during the lead-up to the American Revolution. The opening of "Farmer George, Volume 2" presents a detailed overview of George Grenville's role in implementing the Stamp Act, which served as a pivotal moment in Anglo-American relations. The narrative illustrates Grenville's motivations, the initial responses from both British Parliament and American colonists, and the growing unrest that culminated in resistance to British authority. The excerpt highlights the political dynamics within England, including debates in Parliament and public sentiment in the colonies, setting the stage for understanding the broader historical context of rebellion.
