>> The colonials feared, and rightly so, that more areas of the economy would be granted monopolies to British businesses. That is not the same as some irrational fear of multinational corporations which, in the sense they are today, didn't exist at the time. It was not the entity that was THE problem. It was the British Crown. They didn't go to war with multinational corporations. They went to war with the British. Because they didn't want to be controlled by the British. They did not "fear" multinational corporations. Geez. >> If you think the colonials loved the EIC, you are delusional. I haven't said anything of the sort. But they weren't idiots; they recognized that the problem wasn't East India Company; it was the British Crown telling colonists what they could, could not, or had to do. History expert though you may think you are, it is apparent you missed the point.
