American Revolution : The Great British Army Conquered Parts Of The American Colonies

The British had sent more than 10,000 troops to North America by the end of the French and Indian War. The British felt like they had spent a great deal of money in protecting the American colonists. They were in debt around 140 million pounds. To pay off all of their debt the British decided to increase the enforcement of existing taxes on the Colonists and impose additional taxes. The British issued The Proclamation of 1763 which meant the colonists couldn’t cheat the Indians out of land. They also establish a border in where they could not buy land. This made the colonist mad because it made them feel like the British were interfering and trying to limit their economic growth.

The American Revolution was one bloody battle, but it made is what we are today. In 1763, The French and Indian War (also referred to as the Seven Years War) concluded; the Proclamation of 1763 was signed, thus The Proclamation Line along the Appalachian Mountains was formed which angered many colonist. The war debt built up, and eventually money was scarce. As their solution, they taxed the American Colonist and formed acts to pay war debts. The colonist thought that this was unnecessary and the colonist eventually rioted and boycotted these taxes.

Once again, the colonists were angry that they were being taxed on basic needs. This anger only grew through the Boston Massacre incident, where five colonists were killed, and the Boston Tea Party, where enraged colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor. The last straw for the colonists seemed to be the passing of the Coercive Acts, otherwise known as the Intolerable Acts. These acts were created to regulate and basically restrict the colonists to make them realize that Parliament was in control. Colonists did not agree with this act, specifically the Quartering Act which required them to house British soldiers, as well as feed and clothe them. These acts and taxations, along with the violent incidents that occurred in Boston, and a lack of colonial representation in the Parliament caused the colonists to

With the conflict between the British and the colonies intensifying over the rights of “taxation without representation”, both sides continued building more tension that lead up to the Boston Massacre. In this event, the British fired into a crowd of Boston Citizens killing five colonists and leading to a trial against the British soldiers. Now with the lack of the colonist 's concede to the British demands, this lead the colonist refusing to pay taxes on imported goods. Which lead to the next step towards the American Revolutionary War, and the defiance of property- The British Tea Party.

The colonists felt that Britain and its laws were very oppressive and, as mentioned in paragraph one of the prompt, the colonists began to resist. There were many rebellions taking place at the time and controversy was inevitable, however one event that started out as cruel hazing turned deadly, and is now known as “The Boston Massacre”. Although most of colonists resented Britain, British Troops, and especially the custom collectors, after controversial acts of violence, one colonists, John Adams, defended British Captain Preston, and eight British Soldiers.

Through and through, the British had pulled America’s last straw. America was frustrated by being overtaxed. Many laws led to more resentment from the colonists. America was inspired by actions that defied the British rule. Patrick Henry’s speech and the Boston Tea Party emboldened the colonists. Tons of controversial laws led to war and changed the

About a decade before the American Revolution happened in 1775, there were lots of tension building up between the colonists and the British. The colonists did not like being under British rule and control because they liked freedom and wanted independence. However, the British government attempted to raise tax revenues by imposing more taxes on the colonists to pay for the leftover debts from the Indian-French War. Some of the laws passed include the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Tariffs of 1767, and the Tea Act of 1773. Some events that escalated the tension include the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, etc. The colonists were justified in rebelling against Britain.

The Quartering Act was a difficult law for the colonists to accept. It required them to support British soldiers stationed in the colonies to enforce the many tax laws. The colonists had to take the soldiers into their homes and provide them with food and lodging. In Boston and other cities, the colonists resented these unwelcome guests. This resentment led directly to the Boston Massacre.

This was mainly due to the colonies' refusal to live and obey British rule. The colonists sole purpose for immigrated to America was escape the British rule. Although the American Revolution began in 1775, there were various events that lead to the war's conception. Some these events were the Stamp Act which required printed materials such a newspapers to be printed on British produced paper. The Townshend acts which were a series of acts passed by Great Britain that taxed the colonies. The Boston Massacre which resulted in 5 colonists being killed after an angry confrontation with British soldiers. The Boston Tea Party which was where the colonists dressed up as American Indian and dumped British produced tea into the harbor. This was in response to the Tea act that monopolized the tea trade within America. All these events helped to spark America's rebellious nature and fight got their independence in the American Revolution

Revolution. This event brought attention to the unfair ways the British soldiers were treating the colonists. The British were treating the colonists unfairly by taxing them and using their homes for shelter and food. They used them for food by making them make meals for them to eat and if the colonist was a farmer with horses they would also take the horses. I will talk about the famous lawyer John Adams and other events that happened in the Boston Massacre.

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 a war that happened between 1775-1783 where the 13 colonies in America gained independence from Great Britain and became the United States of America. Over time there have been several different historical interpretations about the causes of the American Revolution. Many of these interpretations lack evidence or provide a very one sided claim. The best explanation for the causes of the American Revolution out of the 5 passages provided is “A Democratic Movement” written by Robert Brown because it had the most historical evidence to back the explanation.

In history alive the colonist declared war from england because the colonist wanted their own freedom. The quartering act provided places to live for britain soldiers which were colonist homes which made the colonist feel intruded. The boston tea party was when five colonists dressed up as native americans and dumped 90,000 pounds of tea out of the boat and into the water, they did this because the colonist wanted to protest the bad tea rule. The colonist wanted freedom. The boston massacre was when colonist were protesting the soldiers.

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 revolution began when the Americans felt that they needed their freedom. Prior to the war, the British government had been using unfair methods to subject Americans to barbarity. For instance, they had decided that America was to pay hugely for the losses incurred during the French and Indian War. The British had also been making unnecessary taxes on the Americans which the latter considered unnecessary and a big annoyance to their freedom.
