The History of the South Sea Company

In 17 14, queen anne died and king george the first came to the throne. The south sea company had originally been invisioned as an enterprise controlled by tories. But at this point, many tories were jacobites. By the end of 17 19, the british national debt was about 50 million pounds. We have talked about all of this in prior episodes, including the one on the jacobite rising of 17 forty five.
