Government Work
Sir Robert Walpole was the prime minister that ruled in absence of the king. I clearly did not agree with these ideas of government. I tried denouncing him several times but my oral speech skills did not help make a stable base for my case. I finally was a part of the government when I first became paymaster-general in 1746. Realizing that the paymaster-general position was not progressing fast enough, I started to criticize the Duke of Newcastle. His government and war policy was useless and did not help the country. After Newcastle was dismissed, I created a government with George Grenvile and the Duke of Devonshire. In April, 1757, I was dismissed from the government by King George II. After the break out of the seven years’ war I was once again recalled to an office in the government. As prime minister, I advocated ideas to defeat the French. Brining a fleet of British ships to block the French from escaping, caused us to be victorious. The former prime minister worked on domestic affairs during the seven years war. I was summoned once again to be in charge of another coalition government, but I had less success from before. The problems in America were very difficult to face and I was unable to govern in Britain. This deep depression caused me to resign from my office in October 1768.

ReplyDeleteYou sir, are the epitome of distrust and injustice! All I asked for was an involvement in the War, to help my country. You could have gained so much from me, for I am King! I recently heard a speech of yours and I must say, you are one deceiving soul. I found no truth in your speeches and it sounds to me, that being fake is a hobby of yours. And you wonder why I dismissed you Pitt? The war is everything to me, and without your involvement, I lost more than I wanted. Take my word, never oppose me again. I was truly disappointed, you were a hard worker.

I disagree with your statement. Newcastle's government could have succeeded, but you tossed it aside like it was ntohing! All my life, I attempted to create a small, focused trade system so land txes could be low. But you dispelled my dreams and turned to expansion! What good will it do for an island that can't protect it's newfound property in time?
ReplyDeleteSir, I have admired your political career from afar. It is a tragic thing that such decorated and successful service ended so terribly. However, the liberty the Americans speak of giving its citizens should be a shining example to the those of Britain. You yourself should have done more to convince George III to bring liberty to the Britain and her colonies. Yet, George was a fool to allow such a fine prime minister to slip from his grasp.
