JOnathan Boucher was a preacher, and a Tory who firmly believe in protest in Government wrongs; however he fully supported the Government's 1765 Stamp Act which imposed taxes on British colonies in American.
He was also an ardent Tory, believing firmly that protest against Government wrongs should be carried out within the law but definitely not an uncritical supporter of British policy; for example, he considered the 1765 Stamp Act to be "oppressive, impolitic and illegal", and the Royal proclamation against the Westward Expansion of the thirteen colonies "unjust and impolitic".
