I agree with @lillycoyote the information wasn’t really hidden. One reason for the revolution was central banking and they made it clear that we shouldn’t get involved with that..we obviously didn’t listen
In 1775, the American Revolutionary War began, as the American colonies sought to detach from England, and it’s oppressive monarchy. Although many reasons are cited for the revolution, one in particular sticks out as the prime cause: that King George III in England outlawed the interest free independent currency the colonies were producing and using for themselves, in turn forcing them to borrow money from the Central Bank of England at interest, immediately putting the colonies into debt. And as Benjamin Franklin later wrote:
“The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution.”
