Read somewhere that he was portrayed as a villain to move the fence-sitters. Otherwise he was a liberal figure for most of his time.

- rkk3 5y agoThere is some irony, in that him not being a tyrant ham-strung efforts both to placate the colonies before the war (He couldn't act unilaterally and over rule parliament) and in fighting the colonies because scorched earth tactics were off the table. And yeah privately he had pretty liberal views but he didn't always prioritize them politically.
