U.S. colonies were being controlled by the British Empire and forced to pay taxes to the king. The colonies were upset that they were forced to pay these taxes, but had no voice on the government. In reality, there would’ve been no revolution had there been no French involvement. America had been left to govern itself from 1715 until 1740, called the period of “Benign neglect.” They wanted to establish their own system of government and not be controlled by an abroad nation. America had taken note on how two great historical powers, Carthage and Rome, tore each other to pieces instead of joining forces.
Flashes of sporadic violence against the English continued, but by bandits and outlets rather than any semblance of an organised military force. Henry IV died in 1413, and was succeeded by the less Plantagenet, more astute Henry of Monmouth, Henry V. He began to offer the Welsh rebels pardons. Owain's son Marededd refused a pardon until 1421, leading some historians to suspect that this was the year in which he died. One theory is that he ended his life as a the family chaplain on his daughter Alys' estate she shared with her husband, Sir Henry Scudamore, the sheriff of
But when he arrived in Spain the infanta hated him. She refused to marry a non-catholic. To marry her he had to stay one year in Spain and to become catholic. It was considered as an insult in England. Charles came back to England and fully suported Parliament.
Parliament didn't like Charles main advisor Buckingham and they tried to punish him but failed so Charles got angry and sent 2 MPs to prison. In 1629 Charles closed down parliament and decided to reign without them this meant even more problems were coming his way. Parliament had only given Charles custom duties for one year and he needed more money after that year so he decided to collect a tax called ship money . Ship money was only to be collected in the time of war and by the coast of the country but there was no war going on and the navy didn't need to be changed but still he collected the ship money for no reason and also started collecting ship money from the land that wasn't in the cost. Because he did this without parliaments approval parliament got angry.
He is best known as “the man who lost Britain’s American colonies.” He enjoyed knowing that the real issue at stake in the colonies was not just taxation, but power. Lord North soon led Britain to war but the war turned out a disaster. He begged King George III to allow him to resign, but he was not allowed until the war was over. In 1782, Lord North resigned after a vote of no confidence. The Tea Act took place in May of 1773, in Boston Massachusetts.
Possibly Henry VIII believed there had been some sympathy within the London Charterhouse for the prophecies of Elizabeth Barton, the Nun of Kent, who predicted that the King would not survive six months after divorcing Catherine of Aragon. Certainly, in the spring of 1534, some of the London Carthusians appeared reluctant to sign an oath under the Act of Succession, which asserted the invalidity of Henry’s first marriage and thus secured the royal succession to the children of Anne Boleyn. In April 1535, Henry decided that the Carthusians should be required to swear a further oath, recognising him as Supreme Head of the Church in England. However they declined saying that there was but one Catholic Church, with the Pope at its head. Several churchmen, including Thomas Cranmer, were inclined to be merciful, suggesting that the recalcitrant Carthusians might benefit from a course of theological instruction.

Henry took the pope and held him as prisoner; the pope (whilst being imprisoned) did not negotiate with him. The pope would not allow Henry to divorce Catherine because it was against the religion of England to divorce. Henry wanted an annulment for his marriage, some evidence that shows that Henry was expecting the pope to grant him the annulment because he told Catherine his plan, agreed to marry Anne after the annulment, applied to the pope for an allowance to marry Anne. All these actions shows Henry had no problem gaining the cancellation. A new religion was created by Henry VIII, called Protestant.
However with Charles keeping the pope prisoner and the relations between Charles and Catherine, he declined the divorce on behalf of the pope. So without obtaining a divorce Wolsey had to try and keep Henry content in other ways. However, Wolsey also changed Henrys attitude when he left England stranded without alliance due to his attempts in foreign policy. Wolsey’s strategy was to create an alliance with Francis; who sent cardinal Campeggio for the hearing of the divorce. The Anglo-French alliance undermined Charles, which they hoped would seek to the freedom of the Pope.
Because of the favouritism of King Charles towards Buckingham, he dissolved the second Parliament to save Buckingham after the Commons had impeached him. The third Parliament passed down the Petition of Right which declared that the King was doing illegal actions and made religious innovation. Charles then dissolved the Parliament, imprisoned the leaders of the Commons and governed for 11 years as a dictator. It
