Causes Of The American Revolution

There were many causes of the American Revolution. Which are the reformation of the British Empire, the Revenue Act, the Stamp Act, the Declaratory Act, Townshend Act, the Boston Massacre, the Tea Act, the Coercive Act, the First Continental Congress, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and the Second Continental Congress.

The end of Salutary neglect is another factor that lead to the American Revolution. In the years after 1688, England turned much of its attention away from the colonies towards France, to compete for control of Europe. Ironically, through the strengthening of the Navigations Act, England appeared to have tightened its colonial grip but they actually loosened its hold. As long as the American colonies remained loyal and continued to buy English-produced goods, Parliament didn’t find the need to supervise the colonies closely. Under this period known as Salutary neglect, the colonies were quickly developing a taste for self-government. This ultimately created the conditions for rebellion when

What caused the American Revolution? The colonists were not fight for separation from Britain yet. However they were fighting for their rights as citizens. Three of the reasons for their actions were: the Stamp Act, violations of basic rights, and the Intolerable Acts. These events led to the American Revolution.

The American Revolution of 1763-1783 saw the Americans fight for their independence from the British Empire. There were many factors which contributed towards the American Revolution, such as: financial reasons, economic reasons, the fight for rights and liberty from despotism.1 On July 4th 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed granting that America fight for their rights and independence from the British. The Declaration of Independence states that all people have the right of freedom and equality: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”2 Despite the American

of North America.That war helped the colonist realise the Economic, Political, and the Cultural causes.

There are many different social, political and economic factors which brought about the American Revolution, but it was largely the economic factors namely the taxes imposed by the British upon the colonists, and it was these taxes which caused the colonists to revolt and wage war after years of oppression and economic injustices. The American Revolution grew out of increasing economic, authoritarian restrictions placed upon the colonies by the British. The colonists lost their land, their businesses and trade with other countries. The first major economic factor was the French-Indian war, which lasted 9 years. The British victory came at a high price with the British deeply in debt and demanding more revenue from the colonies. With

The American Revolution was one that was not started in a day, a week, or even a year. Rather, there were many actions taken and many circumstances that led the colonies toward a revolt. The clashing of colonists and the British caused ill feelings and tensions that built up to violence in some cases. Though the most important of those many factors may be debated, there are 3 that can be broken down to show their significance. The repression of the colonies by the British Parliament through passing of unfair laws, excessive taxation and blockade actions, and British military and Colonial actions that instigated uprisings.

The American Revolution occurred because of Great Britain's failure to adjust to conditions brought on by the growth and development of the colonies, and by the aggravation of a breakdown in the political and economic harmony that existed between the colonies and their mother country.

The first reason that leads to this American Revolution is the French and Indian war because they were fighting for a piece of land, which is the Ohio Valley River. The French did not want the Indian people to have their land. The Ohio River Valley was only for the French, not the Indians. That big dispute leads to a war knowns as the French and Indian war. The French people have made the Americans mad at them because they caused the colonies and did not help them fight in the war with British. In the end, the French and Indian war cost King George III a lot of money for the weapons and for the supplies that they needed for this war.

The American Revolution began on April 19, 1775. It was the war between Great Britain and its colonies located in the New World. The colonists, as many historians put it, were like children rebelling against the motherland; however, the colonists had many valid reasons for this revolt, including their desire for freedom and independance. My World History textbook says freedom was falsely promised when the colonists had settled (Krull 868). The more direct causes of this widely known rebellion include taxes due to the French and Indian war, the Boston Massacre, the Intolerable Acts, and finally the formation of the First Continental Congress.

In Common Sense, Thomas Paine claims that “society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one…”, using this idea to serve as a reason to rebel against the oppressive British Parliament. The American Revolution was not something that occurred overnight. It resulted from the many decades of tension between the British Crown and the American colonies. As the years went on, the rift between the two groups only expanded due to reasons such as little British intervention in the colonies for many years, as well as differing ideals between them. Eventually, the colonists were finished with being oppressed and sparked the flame for Revolution that would not only affect their society, but societies around the globe as well.

The first reason I noticed that might’ve been cause for the revolution was the quartering act. After the French and Indian war, the British decided to keep a larger number of troops within the 13 colonies for military purposes. With this in mind, the British passed The Quartering Acts in 1765. The British told the 13 colonies that they were required to build

Independence and freedom was the goal for the American colonist during 1765 and 1783. Separation from Great Britain was the task in which they succeeded. Starting off with just 13 colonies then expanding Westward after their independence. Taxation was the main cause of the rebellion. Throughout the 18 year process of gaining independence, American colonies finally separated from Britain and became a nation.

There were many contributing factors that lead to the outbreak of the American Revolution through the years 1756-1763. Most of the impactful factors of the war dealt with the british desire to control the 13 colonies besides  the colonies attempts to liberate themselves from the restrictions implemented upon them. Some of the factors  were the restrictions and taxations of the british government, growing american identity, geography, rejection of the olive branch petition, the article Common Sense, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Intolerable Acts, and the accidental blood shed. The political and economic situation of America played a Major role in the revolution. All the major events that pushed America to revolutionize dealt with a complication of either political or economic situations with the British.

The American Revolution had initiated due to chain-reaction events caused by the British that infuriated the colonists. Many of the colonist felt that the British were violating their constitutional rights, so the colonist eventually fought back. The three major events that led up to the American Revolution where the French and Indian War, Intolerable Acts, and the Battle of Lexington and Concord. The British fueled the American Revolution by limiting colonist’s expansion, violating their rights, invading U.S. soil. All three of these events against the colonists came together like a puzzle to start the American Revolution War.
