It was the leaders of the nation who reaped profit from this dependance, and it was the leaders of the nation who insisted on keeping the nation the way it was.

... crisis in 1765, led to the outbreak of war in 1775, and finally to the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

... social injustice. However, the FBI's significant fear of the Party's aggressive actions would not only drive the party apart but also create false information regarding the Panther's programs and accomplishments.
