The American Revolution started on April 19, 1775 and lasted until September 3, 1783. This time was important in history. It will always be remembered until today. The American Revolution was the worst thing ever! The Colonist should have had independence and be separate from Great Britain. The American Revolution made people separate and not be together and have relationships with each other. The Native Americans had a hunting ground that the Colonist could not go to. The British did not treat people fairly and they made people do wrong things. The Colonist should have independence and be separate from Great Britain because the Native Americans had hunting grounds. The British did not allow Colonist to go on or to the hunting grounds. In the text it stated that. "The Native Americans used the reserved land for "hunting grounds" and King George hoped it would not cause any costly wars between the Colonist and Indians. The Colonist wanted to use this ground and go to it but The British did not allow them to. This would cause a war and the British would join in and take over and end up owning the land and it would be hard for everyone. The British made it hard for everyone that went to the land. They would have made them pay taxes, they would work, and much more. …show more content…
The British did not treat colonist fairly they treated them very poorly. They shot at innocent people for no reason according to the text. That was the start of the Boston Massacre that started in 1770. The British government also collected taxes and charged taxes over the colonies. The colonies did not want these laws and taxes and because of that they were treated very poorly. They did not want England to have control over
The colonist wanted to dissolve the local government without cause, endemic corruption of judges and other officials of crowns, forced harboring of troops, and trial without the adequate cause of representation. The colonist wanted to be respected by Great Britain they felt like they were treated badly because of whom they were. The colonist felt like they were created equal, and that they should have the same rights as the British did. The colonist wanted happiness because it was important for them to be able to prosper as a whole group. If the colonist did not stand up for their rights the British would have kept on controlling them because they did not say anything. The British people felt like they were superior over the colonist people. The colonist expressed their opinions was very respectful towards the British. The British government was very destructive the colonist did not like
The reason why colonists were so resentful of British rule was that British parliament started imposing tax on the colonists, without their permission. This became the main motive for the American Revolution. Several colonists also felt that they were not enough represented in the British Parliament. They also believed that this was a result in them losing their rights as an Englishman. However, in the 1760s these rights were taken away from the Americans. The colonists had no role in the British Parliament, but still paid taxes. British Parliament was controlling all the major trade exports and imports of the colonist. Several Americans started opposing these taxations by the British. For instance, Stamp Act actually imposed tax on
As a colonist, I think the colonies should be separated from England and be free; independent states. England is not being fair to us. They have made many laws that all of us don’t agree with including the proclamation of 1763 and many more. They have also made taxes and because of that we have rebelled. Many resources could have been saved if England would just cooperate.
There were many reasons why the colonists rebelled against the British empire. One of the primary reasons was because the colonists had thought they were also being treated very unreasonably. They also thought that they weren't entitled to having rights as Englishmen. They were also being treated very unreasonably. The colonists also weren’t allowed to have any spots
The American Revolution took place from 1775 to 1785 as colonists sought independence from the British. Factors such as the French and Indian War, which led to the British implementing new laws and taxes, the Intolerable Acts, and the Continental Congress all contributed to the fall of British reign over American. The French and Indian War was fought between American colonists and New France. Both sides allied with different Native American tribes and the war lasted from 1754 to 1763.
The American colonists were justified in fighting a war to break away from Britain because they were not being represented by Britain. For example, a member of the British Parliament was against taxing without representation. He said that taxation and representation are inseparable. In addition, the colonists were
The colonists in North America were primarily justified against the British because they significantly reduced the rights of the American colonists. After the French and Indian war, England was in debt which encouraged the British to impose the unfair taxes that restricted the rights of the colonists. For example, in document 1 it explains that England did not recover the money lost in the French and Indian war where the British aided the colonists with protection which cause England to be in debt. Because of England’s
The British were cruel, forceful, and just plain mean. Colonists asked the British for their rights, but no, the British would not give them their rights. Britain was a horrible country, and they didn’t listen to the Colonists, although they were usually right.
I think that the colonies should be separate from the british. I want the colonies to be separate from britain because I know that the colonies will grow easier. Also The government will be more fair for the colonies.
The American Revolution was the most important event to ever take place in this country. This war took place from 1765-1783 and involved Great Britain and the United States of America. Without this revolution, the colonies would have never gained independence from Great Britain and the United States could still be under their control. However, this revolution did not occur without a cause, early Americans fought for independence because of unfair treatment from England. There were many causes to the Revolution including high taxes, unfair laws, and even colonists being killed.
The American Revolution was an important sequence of events over a period of time that has affected early American society up to today’s modern society. It all started with the Revolutionary War, which led to the Declaration of Independence from Britain, and in turn created a reason for America to write the Constitution and develop their own government. Ideas of equality became a major point of the Revolution, and although it wasn’t very quick to happen, ideas eventually spread throughout the colonies, giving the equality that poor to middle classes, African American slaves, and women deserved.
The first reason that the colonists were justified in breaking away from the British was because the British Parliament and soldiers made unjust decisions for their own personal gain and abused their powers over the colonists. As stated in Document 2 of the packet “Document-Based Questions--Path to Revolution”, the British parliament taxed the colonists for the sole purpose of levying money upon them (Stamp Act). The taxes was also mainly used to pay for the French-Indian War, which seems like it justifies the British taxing, except for the fact that it was taxes without representation, which can be labeled as tyranny. This supports my argument, as the American colonists didn’t like having to pay for the war, and let Britain take money away from them for profit. Another piece of evidence that supports my claim would be that on Document 10 of the packet it was stated that, “We have understood it be
The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between England and the colonies which were settled earlier by the English. There were many factors and events that led to the American Revolution. The Revolution was mainly an economic rebellion that was fueled by taxation without representation following the French and Indian War. The English Parliament was more often than not considered cruel and unfair by the colonists. With conflicts over trade, taxes and government representation, the colonies were at a starting line of a revolution that would later transform into the basis of the United States of America.
The American Revolution, which occurred approximately from 1765 to 1786, is also known as the American Revolutionary War and the U.S. War of Independence, for good reason. The conflict rose from rising tensions amid the people of Great Britain’s thirteen American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown. Clashes between Britain’s troops and colonial militiamen in Lexington and Concord in April 1775 kicked off the armed conflict, and by the following summer, the rebels were waging a full-scale war for their independence. The American Revolution had tremendous consequences, and was not simply a victory of arms on the battlefield, but also a feat of economic and political ideals, and vital societal changes. This huge period of history set into motion greater changes in American life and created a country, demonstrating just how this revolutionary age in time more than earned its name. This battle of independence waged by the American colonies against Britain influenced political ideas and revolutions around the globe, as a young, largely divided nation won its freedom from the greatest military force of its time.
There were several reasons colonists wanted to break away from the English. A large reason the colonists wanted to break away from English rule was the amount of high taxes that they had to pay for almost everything, because they essentially had to foot the bill for a war. The colonists also had no say on the laws that were passed by a government that was across an ocean, thus the phrase “No Taxation without Representation.” Paying high taxes and having no say in what laws were passed obviously made the colonists angry with the British government, but another factor was the British would not let the colonists trade with anyone else besides them. This means that all trades going in or out could only be done with Britain. Forcing the colonists to pay whatever the British merchants wanted to set their price at because there was no major competition. All of these things as well as not letting the colonists expand past the Mississippi River, would calumniate into a revolution in which the colonists would form their own government and finally fulfill their wish of breaking away from British rule.
