ROYAL GAZETTE

Those Americans who were on the British side of the Revolution often looked with disdain on the revolutionaries ham handed early attempts to operate a government. The Continental Congress was particularly weak. George Washington and the American military leaders were constantly complaining about the inept Congress but the Loyalists write satires like this and made fun of them. This was the equivalent of today’s television late night comedians.
