Causes Of Colonial Exploration In The Late 1700s

The British had undisputed control of the continent and had very strong thriving economies in the colonies. They also had very large war debts as a result of defending the colonies during the war. This led to the British conclusion for colonies to start paying more taxes in order to pay off these war debts and start making a profit for Britain. On the other hand, the colonies wanted things to stay the way they were. They saw the principle of foreign taxation as leading to a time when Britain would tax the colonies dry and make life there miserable. This led to the fight that eventually led to revolution and independence.

As generations grew up in America, nationalism within the colonies grew towards their new country. These settlers slowly lost their patriotic tie to Great Britain and it’s ruler, King George III. So when the French and Indian War ended in America, and the indebted England needed some compensation from American settlers in the form of taxes, the colonists questioned the authority of England and their ability to rule them. British imperial policies such as the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Townshend Tea Tax caused uproar within the colonies against British rule without

     In order to understand how the relationship between Britain and the American Colonies became so strained, we must first examine the nature of Britain’s imperial authority. Economic relations between the two entities were

The American colonist and the British started out having a very civil relationship. They provided each other with resources. During the French and Indian war the colonists were on the British side and helped them fight. Unfortunately, after the war the British started to change their ways and started to come up with new stricter rules. The British started to tax the colonist on different kinds of items, which was not fair to the colonists. They were controlling the colonist with everything they did. The colonists wanted them to back off a little but the British weren't budging. They thought they could tell the colonists what to do but the colonists were not going to be treated that way, so they took matters in their own hands. The colonists

The British being so powerful changed the way most American colonies thought about the British. The majority of the colonies were to

Since the first civilization Jamestown, the colonists slowly adapted and improved the environment of the land and gained more and more people due to the rapid overpopulation in England. But as the more advanced and smarter the people got. They began to import and export goods to other countries as a growing country, the British began to levy all kinds of trade regulation and taxes, all to stop the aid it was giving to other world power country that British was enemy and the selfish greed British had to only be the one gaining from the colonist. Therefore causing unsettling feelings of the colonies towards them, as they felt they are been treated unfairly and taking away what they felt is their own right and own money.

The American colonists had a good relationship with the British and had been treated as sovereign people with few restrictions. However, the French and Indian War affected the political and ideological relationship between the British and the colonists. The British started to infringe upon the colonists by enforcing British laws, placing additional taxes, and restricting the lives of colonists in many ways.

British made laws that led to rebellious actions by the colonist. A major British action was the stamp act. The stamp act was basically a list of taxes. A major tax was on tea.The colonist drank tea everyday and the British took advantage and made a tax on that. Another act was on the playing cards, which was a main entertainment source for the colonist. And the colonist basically played with them all the time. It also placed a tax on all legal documents and newspaper, which was another piece of entertainment for the colonist. Patrick Henry said at the meeting at the stamp act meeting that “ We can under law be taxed only by our own representatives.” (doc

The British were putting many acts and depriving civil rights from the colonists which eventually lead to boycotting the acts. The first was act the Stamp Act, the stamp act was an act that was used on items like dice and playing cards to raise money for the British. The money that was being made off of then taxing was being sent to England instead of the colonies which is against the

While problems between Great Britain and her North American colonies had always existed, it was not until after the Seven Year War that things started to get personal. At the time, Britain had incurred a large debt, courtesy of the seven year war. Most of this debt had been created defending the North American colonies, so Britain searched for ways to get the colonies to pay them back. Thus, laws like the Stamp Act, were created to regain money by means of taxes. Colonists believed the laws infringed on their rights, and a major economic conflict between Great Britain and the colonies was born. But economic conflicts were not the only problem between the two, they also struggled politically and socially. All the same, because of all their differences the Revolutionary War

In the American colonies there were many problems that they faced with the British. The colonists had very little say in their lives. The American colonies tried to push this issue with the British but it never worked.

The colonies were treated very badly by britain, one of the main reasons that the colonies were justified in leaving britain was because of the huge amounts of unfair taxes that britain put upon them. There are so many that colonist were essentially getting robbed legally. The stamp act was one of the most

The British applied a new imperial policy upon the American colonies in order to pay off the debt accumulated from the French and Indian War. Some of these policies included acts that the British enforced in order to further regulate the colonies and make themselves more money for the mother country. These acts showed the colonies that they were still controlled by the British and that they were inferior to them. Britain's transition from salutary neglect brought about great social and political problems. The social, political, and economic conflict grew in large extent due to the new imperial policies that were implemented.

It was easy for the colonists to work around the law, but England did nothing to stop it because trade deals were still happening, and everyone was still making money. This caused Americans to think of their government as equally as powerful as the British bureaucracy. England lost major control over the colonies during the Tradition of Neglect, but they didn’t do anything to stop it. Even though the colonies still considered themselves a part of the British Empire, people understood that they could lead themselves.

The british were very unfair and very unattractive to the american colonies mostly because of power and money the american colonies just wanted independence and self ruling for their own colony that's why we had the american revolution. In the 1760s, shortly after the conclusion of the french and indian war, the british parliament passed a series of laws and taxes on the american colonies.They created unfair laws and taxes on the british.The colonist disagreed with great britain on the fairness of these laws and taxes which led to conflict between the two sides.Eventually, this erupted into the American Revolution.(doc 1) The american colonies wanted to make there own decisions and have their independence.But the british wanted to rule and make laws and taxes for the american colonies also to punish the americans for their wrong doings.The american colonies do organized protest in spite of these laws and actions.Patrick henry responds to the stamp act patrick says in one of his speeches king George is a tyrant he breaks rules he is a threat to his own people.When Patrick Henry puts that in his speech it really lets you know that what they were doing was wrong and for king George to be leading it makes it even worst because he knows what he is doing and did not really care alongs as the british colonies were getting money for the debt they were in after the French and Indian war.
