Business Directory, Background Cash in Market, 6.1 Landmarks Dr Brown thought that Washington had quinsy; Dick thought that the condition was a more serious "violent inflammation of the throat". They continued the process of bloodletting to approximately five pints but it was futile and his condition deteriorated Dick proposed a tracheotomy but the other two doctors were not familiar with that procedure and therefore disapproved. Washington instructed Brown and Dick to leave the room while he assured Craik "Doctor I die hard but I am not afraid to go."; Demographics Losing the war and the Thirteen Colonies was a shock to Britain the war revealed the limitations of Britain's fiscal-military state when they discovered that they suddenly faced powerful enemies with no allies and they were dependent on extended and vulnerable transatlantic lines of communication the defeat heightened dissension and escalated political antagonism to the King's ministers Inside Parliament the primary concern changed from fears of an over-mighty monarch to the issues of representation parliamentary reform and government retrenchment Reformers sought to destroy what they saw as widespread institutional corruption, and the result was a crisis from 1776 to 1783 the peace in 1783 left France financially prostrate while the British economy boomed thanks to the return of American business the crisis ended after 1784 thanks to the King's shrewdness in outwitting Charles James Fox (the leader of the Fox-North Coalition) and renewed confidence in the system engendered by the leadership of Prime Minister William Pitt Some historians suggest that loss of the American colonies enabled Britain to deal with the French Revolution with more unity and better organization than would otherwise have been the case. Britain turned towards Asia the Pacific and later Africa with subsequent exploration leading to the rise of the Second British Empire.
