By the time it was 1763 most of the white colonies would say that they are loyal British subjects. However after 1763, mostly between the time periods 1775-76, these years saw the send of the relationship with Britain. The British should take some of this blame as they did introduce some rigorous polices after 1763. This was an unwanted change for the American Colonies, As Britain left them alone for so long but now are starting to change things. But there are other courses of the break out of the armed conflict not just polices of the British Government that are the colonies as not all of the polices where unreasonable.
Bernie Bartolome October 22, 2012 A New Nation After much consideration and evaluation between the British and the Colonists, I remain my stance that the Colonists have the more reasonable and convincing position during the intolerable acts of tyranny from the British. With this, I have five arguments to support my opinion. My arguments follow: the Colonists had no representative in Parliament, they had not been under the English influence for generations, they wanted control over the affairs that the Colonists started, and the British enforced irrational taxes upon them. Through this justification, I understand the Colonists’ dispute toward the British through the American Revolution. Each of my arguments revolves around the idea that the British were unfair towards their treatment of the colonists, which compels me to justify the Colonists quarrel against the British.
Disagreements erupted over how the colonies felt that they should be treated and the way they were actually treated by Britain. The British stance was that the colonies were created for the benefit of Britain and the Colonialists wanted more say in their own existence. One main cause of the revolution was that the Colonists wanted more representation within the British government hence “no taxation without representation”, (Hickman n.d.), Britain was unwilling to do this. Another factor was the geographical distance between Britain and the Colonists, this created a sense of independence with in the colonies. Britain therefore tried to tighten control over the Colonists through a series of acts designed to quell any sense of rebellion.
The Articles established the new governmental system that was going to be instilled. After the troubles that the states went through under the British flag the colonial government tried establishing a government with limited power over the American people. Rather than uniting the people of the United States the government established by the Articles of Confederation did the opposite. Instead it gave the individual states more power to govern themselves rather than giving the power to the federal government. It established a weak central government with strong individual state governments.
However, the French and Indian War (1754-1763), also called the Seven Years’ War, altered the political, economical and ideological relations between American colonies and Britain. The political and ideological views were changed because of the British belief in imperializing all the American colonies, while the Americans believed in liberty. Economical changes were also important because the French and Indian war created debts which resulted in taxation in the colonies. The French and Indian War created tension between Great Britain and the American colonies politically because of the expansion of and and borders, economically by high taxes, and ideologically through taxation without representation. The expansions TS.
Dominik Severino HI 410 Dr. Moore 2/16/12 The Barbary Wars The Barbary Wars were one of many struggles for the growing nation of America during its long lasting bout for Independence. The author, Frank Lambert, takes in depths look into generalities formed through specific events throughout this time period. Lambert argues the belief that these wars were fought because of economic and mercantile reasons rather than the notion that they were religious wars. “The Barbary Wars were primarily about trade, not theology, and rather than being holy wars, they were an extension of America’s War for Independence” (Lambert 22). This brings into account why the book is subtitled “American Independence in the Atlantic World”.
America’s decision to declare independence form Great Britain was both due the change of economic policies and to the development of refining life and liberty. After driving the French out, with help from the Indians and British troops, colonist began to quarrel with Parliament’s insistence of testing the limits of their power in North America. Their control was made difficult when residents decided to smuggle and boycott goods. Eventually, the colonies resistance and loss of patience would lead them directly to independence. The Proclamation of 1763 was the first to anger the colonist.
First, before it became a sovereign nation, the king of England indirectly and directly governed the US and the colonists grew to reject that as an authority figure. The early Americans and current Egyptians share the same struggle by having their lives controlled by a foreign country. The American Revolution occurred when thirteen colonies decided to come together to break free from the British Empire. They rejected the right of the British Parliament to govern them from across the Atlantic Ocean without representation. Taxation without representation was the main reason for their rebellion.
Causes of the Revolutionary The cause of the revolutionary war was not one but many causes. The main cause which seems to be fact was the the colonists and Britain’s views on laws that Parliament had enforced upon the colonies such as new taxes. The colonists believed they should not be taxed with out representation because they wanted to voice their opinion about laws Parliament creates. Britain believed the colonies were created to be used to benefit Britain. When the French and Indian War ended the British felt they had the right to settle former French land even though Indians inhabited most of it.
But we cannot base what they did on whether it was immoral or not. This is because this exploration to find new lands and eventually the New World, would have been found either way whether it was or wasn't from the Europeans. The People that would have found the New World would still claim the new land as theirs and still would have not treated the people of the New World any different than Europeans. -------------------------------------------- [ 1 ].
