Lord North was a servant, one might say a lackey, after the King's own heart.

He abandoned lifelong traditions, principles, fleeting whims, prejudices even, in order to keep up with the King's wish of the moment.

After Lord North became Prime Minister, the likelihood of a peaceful settlement between the crown and the Colonies lessened.

He ran ahead of the King in his desire to serve the King's wishes, and George III, by this time, was wrought up by the persistent tenacity of the Whigs--he wished them dead, but they would not die--and he was angered by the insolence of the Colonists who showed that they would not shrink from forcibly resisting the King's command.
On both sides of the Atlantic a vehement and most enlightening debate over constitutional and legal fundamentals still went on.

Although the King had packed Parliament, not all the oratory poured out at Westminster favored the King.
