destroyed much of the rum industry

Article states that the tax would have destroyed the run industry. Sources such as Unger's book on John Hancock state that the tax was sufficiently low that it would not affect the rum industry. BradMajors (talk) 05:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section in question is fully supported by a footnote -- apparently from a book you have in your possesion since you referenced it earlier tonight. Do you deny that the book makes that claim? Exactly what page of the Unger book makes the claim that the 1733 tax was "sufficiently low" -- I would like to fact check that. Also, what are the other sources that you hint at that say the exact same thing --title, author, and page numbers would be nice?

Documentation aside, are you sure you understand this subject? As the article clearly states, a reason why the rate was reduced in the 1764 act was because the British thought that the REDUCED RATES might be affordable and actually paid. Do you also question the accuracy of this section of the article?Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 05:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
