Yup..they were like frogs who were "comfortable" as the water slowly came to a boil. Others did not want to give up position and wealth that had been granted to them by the crown. It is amazing to see what people are more than willing to tolerate before they are motivated to cry out for freedom.The ever increasing taxes finally brought more on board but many were still willing to pay these taxes than fight what they believed to be an invincable force.What I love about the book is that it's not just a repeat of history,it brings the founding fathers to life with known dialog and interaction between the founding fathers.In that day the hardship of daily life was very difficult and yet they dedicated much of their time away from their farms and law practice at great loss of income to pursue a better way of life for us all.
