Causes Of The American Revolution

In Chapter 9, the quote from The Origin of Species talks about similarities of a silkworm to a caterpillar or the cocoon stage. This quote was picked because it has to do with silkworms and butterflies. One of the main focuses of this chapter is Petey. In this chapter, Petey is a caterpillar that lives in Calpurnia’s grandfather’s laboratory. Soon, Petey will turn into a beautiful butterfly. What this quote from the book means is that differences from the silkworm and the caterpillar are known to appear and be alike at the cocoon stage of the caterpillar’s life. This was a good quote to start the chapter because of the introduction to Petey, who is a caterpillar.

The American Revolution was preceded in part by a series of British Parliament laws that regulated trade and taxes. Rumors from England that more taxes might follow encouraged some colonists to begin thinking about whether they really consented to taxes passed by a Parliament to which they elected no representatives. (1) This particular legislation of taxation caused tensions between colonists and local imperial officials, who readdressed the colonists concerns that the British Parliament would not address American complaints concerning the new laws. The unwillingness to respond to American demands for change by the British opened the doors to colonial argument that they were part of a corrupt and tyrannical empire in which their traditional liberties were at stake! This position eventually served as the foundation for the Declaration of Independence.

This list also reflects the ardent belief of the colonists that the British Empire was slowly eroding their rights related to citizens after the Indian and French wars ended during 1763. Although this declaration did not name the specific legislation, they point towards the attempts made both by the King and the Parliament to gain more control and power over these 13 colonies. These attempts start with the Proclamation of 1763 when the Parliament stripped the rights of the colonists to settle between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains (Mulhall, 2005). After that, the Parliament enacted some successive acts such as the Sugar Act (1764), the Stamp Tax (1765), the Townshend Acts (1767) and the Tea Act (1773) (Mulhall, 2005). The main focus

The American Revolution was the political uprising that occurred in the last half of the 18th century. This was basically the time when the thirteen colonies decided to join together to become the United States of America. The major thing that the colonies disagreed was that they were not given any say in the government. They refused the British government to take charge and govern them through the Parliament of Great Britain. There is still disagreement on what the actual cause or the motivating factor behind the American Revolution was. Many people also go on to say that Americans were bound to attain independence and thus were bound to split away from the British. Factors such as violation of personal rights, economic disparity and increased propaganda were the major drivers for this revolution to start. As for inevitability, there were many things that could have stopped this revolution to take place as well.

The causes of the American Revolution go back to the beginning of salutary neglect and the French and Indian War, as well as changes in the thinking of society. The effects of these events and other factors led to pressure within the colonies, ultimately resulting in rebellion.

Unification desires generated within the North American colonies following the French and Indian War, and grew tremendously over time. Unity within the colonies was a gradual development due to opposing views of loyalty to Britain. With British laws imposed on the colonies, several congresses and meetings were held to discuss grievances, further uniting the colonists. Due to British action regarding the colonies, American colonists began to question British authority, and gradually create their own identity.

During the 1760s, the French and Indian War had just ended and the British were stuck with tons of debt. The British Parliament decided to pass several new laws and raise the price of taxes that the colonists had to pay for. Before this time, the British Parliament was never involved in the Colonies way of life. When the British sprung back into the Colonies lives raising taxes with the Stamp Act and creating new laws like the Quartering Act, the Colonies were caught off guard and decided to fight back. The British had always owned them, but never played a big enough role as to control every aspect of their life, this was a new idea to the Colonies that they did not agree with. Lack of Representation in Parliament was the leading cause of the Colonists not paying the taxes and taking action to demand Independence from England. Thus, began the long journey of what came to be known as the American Revolution.

How far do you agree that the cause of the American Revolution was the introduction of the Tea Act in 1773?

During the period between the French and Indian war and the American Revolution, there were many events that eventually lead to the American Revolution. Most of these events had good intentions but in the end, they ended up causing drama and uneasiness between the colonies and the British. It can be proved that the American revolution could have been avoided.

Historically, there are many speculations as to why and how the American Revolution started. Most historians argue that “taxation without representation” was the cause of this war. The colonist were faithful citizens of the English empire, they both benefitted from each other. England provided protection of pirates, guaranteed markets and in return the colonist increased their wealth. The conflict began when the British conquered Canada from France, now Canada was not a threat to the colonists. The British became over 130 million in dept. And that is when they enacted the stamp, sugar, and Townshend Acts on the colonist, to pay their fair share in their depts. The colonists deputed these taxes, stating that they were taxed without representation in parliament. This was the spark of the revolution and what started the conflicts. However, there is controversy as to if the American Revolution was a conservative movement or if it was radicle. Robert Eldon Brown argues that yes the American Revolution was conservative stating that America had become a middle-class society and the separation from England was a rebellion about the overpowering political and economic control that they imposed on the colonists. On the other hand, Alan Taylor and Gordon Wood proclaims that the revolution was radicle explaining that the brutal tactics used during the war was radicle and that America was not middle class it was divided in strictly the upper elite and the poor commoners, which created conflicts. “The American Revolution was as radicle as any other revolution, but in a special 18th century way” is valid because of the extremely radicle guerilla warfare tactics used that was different than other revolutions, it was a peoples war against the western imperialism, and the class difference and conflicts between the elite and commoners the war divided the society into two. Firstly, the American Revolution was radicle because a never seen before radicle guerilla warfare tactic was used by the colonist to destroy the British. Secondly, the American Revolution was the first effective war against imperialism of the west that resulted in freedom of the people. Finally, America was not composed of middle-class; there were distinct

King George III signed the Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited the colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, without taking into account what the colonists’ wanted. This proclamation was the first in a long series of events that made the Americans’ desire for democracy and, subsequently, independence from England grow. British government left no room for representation for Americans by Americans. British Parliament continually created acts that taxed Americans without their discretion. These acts included the Quartering Act, the Sugar Act, and the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act could be said to have been the tipping point for the colonists. In 1765, the Stamp Act required Americans to pay a tax on all paper documents in the colonies. Legal documents, newspapers, and even playing cards were taxed. These papers were then stamped to prove the tax had been paid. When the Stamp Act went into effect in the colonies, people were

To begin with, the British government abused its power. Parliament passed many laws and taxes which infuriated the colonists. They were imposed for power, regulation, and money. These new laws encroached the freedoms of the colonists. For example, the Sugar Act of 1764 increased the tax on sugar imported from the West Indies. The Quartering Act of 1765 required colonists to provide food and

These five articles talk about the opposite side of the debate on vaccines and show what the parents think about this debate, these articles show where the distrust comes from and how parents are manipulated to believe unaccredited claims. In Kluck’s article she writes, “She (a nurse) assured me in vague terms that it was completely safe and I had nothing to worry about.” We see a common trend in these articles and that is doctors/ nurses give the parents vague terms to assure them that their children will be fine and that the vaccines are completely safe; but parents want more than a nurse telling them, the vaccine is very safe and it is very rare for children to have side effects. They want evident with facts and test to prove it. However, some test that parents find are found to be severely manipulated, in John E. Calfee’s article we see him talk about an article written by “Andrew Wakefield and coauthored by 12 others, the article wrote

There were many causes of the American Revolution. ¨Taxation without Representation is Tyranny,¨ James Otis. Three important ones where the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere and William Dawes ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord also the Declaration of Independence. Those are just three of the cause of the American Revolution.
