It just happens to be that Adams was on the side of the colonist and Sewall on the side of the mother country. Sewall and Adams were both power hungry and strived to hold higher positions in their line of work; they just had completely different styles of doing so (Hollitz 60). Sewall had more of a direct approach that lead him more so to the side of English rule, because to him it was easier to agree and accept the rules as they are (Hollitz 60). He would argue why would someone “living under the mildest government, enjoying the highest portion of civil and religious liberty” rebel (qtd in Hollitz 64). Since he obeyed and enforced British law he was rewarded by the English government with higher titles (Hollitz 57).
On the opposite end, British colonialism required massive military budgets to protect the people of India, placing quite a burden on the British people. British military abuses towards the Indian people often caught the public eye and furthered India’s resentment against their mother country. Mutiny among Indian recruits was also a constant struggle for the British. British colonization had a very positive effect on India. In the 17th century, the British East India Company received trading rights from the Mughal Empire.
Just like setting up the government, the colonists had a hard time setting up an economy. Because of being so important of the success colonies, the economy needed to be perfect in order for failure not to be put in place. Also, the hectic situation of moving to a new country caused mass confusion amongst the colonists. This mass confusion caused the British Empire to take over the economic system of the colonies. During the eighteenth century, the British controlled nearly all of the colonial economies.
While the government has their constables and professional police which often consisted of the middle class. The government had been successful in separating the working and middle classes through the 1832 Reform Act by granting more social stature to the middle class. The state used this to their advantage as most middle class constables and police fought to keep their land and newfound position in the social hierarchy. A significant development at the time of chartism was the new railways built. Not only did they weaken chartism support as many people had jobs and work to go to but also after being completed, railways allowed dispatching larger groups of troops around the country to trouble spots to become easier and quicker.
Prior to the Indian wars, Europeans saw themselves as being the elite race. Both cultures had better education and believed to be the more dominate force. It took an act of terror to help each race to open their eyes to a bigger picture. Once they had seen such devastation, they would now realize and fear the unknown. Such terror and horror brought fear and unity.
Tensions began to grow rapidly and the American colonies were becoming more opposed to the British and their King. Britain and the colonies slowly become more and more divided in the way they think and act, as shown when the British imperial polices were soon being established and enforced against the colonies will. Intensified resistance to the British rule made the colonies have more and more resentment with a want of independence to be separated from England. Although British made these imperial polices between 1763 and 1776 while the American colonies and Britain were ideally Father and Son nations, they had overstepped their boundaries as the father country and became monarchy based as they created new laws and enforced taxes and made
According to Document 6, the British made significant improvements such as ending slavery, establishing Courts of Law, teaching the natives a sense of responsibility, liberty, and of justice. They also taught their rulers how to apply these principles. Without question the British had plenty of positive effects on Africa. In contrast, British imperialism also caused many negative effects. In addition to helping India, the British Empire negatively affected India.
Causes of the American Revolution For approximately two centuries, the American Colonies lived peacefully under the English government. In 1765, however, economic, political, and social factors began to put a constraint on their relationship. This bond would still be in place if not for unjust policies combined with growing differences in culture. Resentment continued to grow as the British persisted to use the colonies for personal gain and kept multiplying demands. All of this compelled the people to rebel and establish a resistance to such unreasonable actions taken against them.
Thousands of lives changed forever as one group takes control of another. British came to India in 1600 because they wanted their recourses. They realized that the Indians were unorganized so they decided to control them in 1858.This was to their advantage because they took India’s wealth but how did British colonialism effect India’s economy? It effected India’s economy by reducing their goods and leaving them in poverty. When the British arrived in India they made the East India Trade Company, its purpose was to bring, silks, tea, and spices from the east.
Britain was leading the world in industry and commerce, so, it was felt, education must somehow be taking care of itself. Today, however, education is one of the most frequent subjects for public debate in the country. Schools and other educational institutions (such as universities) existed in Britain long before the government began to take an interest in education. When it finally did, it did not sweep these institutions away, nor did it always take them over. In typically British fashion, it sometimes incorporated them into the system and sometimes left them outside it.
