DDH – The Perfect Villian – The Dave Bowman Show

There he sits, George the Third, crowned, certain, and simmering. Not a cartoon villain twirling his mustache, but a king who believed, quite firmly, that he was right. That is where this story begins, not in rebellion, but in conviction. Because the truth is a little uncomfortable. The American colonists did not see themselves as rebellious children. They saw themselves as Englishmen, defending rights older than the crown itself. Trial by jury, representation, the ancient guarantees that stretched back through Magna Carta and the long memory of English law. And George? He saw something else entirely. Disorder. Ingratitude. A distant people who refused the responsibilities that came with protection and empire. To him, this was not tyranny. It was governance. Necessary. Justified. Even moral. That tension, that gap between belief and accusation, is where the Revolution lives. Not in muskets and marches alone, but in the quiet certainty on both sides that they were defending what was right. Today, we step into that divide. We look at the man behind the crown, the charges against him, and the uncomfortable possibility that every villain, especially the convincing ones, thinks he is the hero of the story.
