Chapter 650 (2/2)
Because the wars over the years have scared these ordinary colonists.
In these hundreds of years, in order to make Britain strong, the British launched countless wars against the Spanish, the Dutch and the French
The strength of Britain is really getting stronger and stronger, and those noble lords in China have really made a lot of money, but the cost of war is all shared by the common people. The most important thing is that most of the soldiers who died in the war were children of ordinary people's families
It is for this reason that more and more British people will travel across the ocean to the new world. On the one hand, they evaded the exorbitant taxes and levies at home; on the other hand, they also evaded the countless wars. Because no one knows whether there will be a new war tomorrow, and once a new war really breaks out, those noble lords will recruit among the common people, and then these soldiers will be sent to the battlefield to sacrifice
No one wants to lose his life without any reason, so no one wants to be a soldier.
After these colonists fled to the new world of North America, they were still oppressed, but at least there was no war, and their family members would never die because of the war.
However, the outbreak of the war of Independence made the vast majority of colonists living in North America feel desperate.
Most of them didn't like to leave the king's rule, and they didn't like war more than taxes and harsh laws.
It has always been a comber of soldiers and a grate of bandits. In the event of a war, not only the dead, but also the ordinary people in the war will suffer more tragic things. For example, being robbed by soldiers and bandits, for example, being killed inexplicably
Who would like to see their hard-earned accumulation of family property robbed by others? Who wants to die in the hands of soldiers or bandits?
Therefore, under such circumstances, more and more colonists began to flee to the West with their families.
Because they all know that only when they escape from the battlefield can they save their lives and their hard-earned property.
And these colonists also knew that in the mountains to the West and further west, there was a vast and rich land, and the most important thing was that there was a powerful Indian tribe there. The tribe was so powerful that the English, the Spanish and the French did not dare to provoke it.
Only at the beginning of the war, many colonists did not dare to flee to the West. They were also worried about whether the powerful tribe would turn them into slaves or even cut off their scalp. Only some people who could not get along tried to flee to the West.
What I didn't expect was that those who escaped first didn't lose their lives or become slaves. On the contrary, they lived well there. Moreover, although there are taxes there, they are far lower than those of the colonies. The most important thing is that you don't have to worry about losing your family or even your life there
As a result, more and more white colonists began to migrate westward in the three years after the outbreak of the war of independence. Sometimes, even the whole migration of one village and one town.
For these white colonists, the stone bear was welcome with both hands.
