Do you know what would have happened if King George III was more reasonable and listened to the colonies? The American Revolution could have been avoided. The British government could have had a better and productive role in the British colonies and King George III could have been more reasonable to the British colonies and not tax as much as he did. If these things had happened, America would be in a state of dominion under Great Britain until they gained their independence in a more peaceful way. If the British government had a more active role in the British colonies, the Revolution could have been avoided. This is because if the British government had listened to the thoughts of the British colonies, there would be less of a need for war, taxes, and other forms of fighting. "Had Britain accepted the Second Continental Congress's Olive Branch Petition, the Revolutionary War could have been avoided" (Sparknotes). Had the ministers of the British consulted with the leaders in the colonies, there would not have been such an argument and problems with taxes, etc. King George III was not reasonable with the British colonies. This is not entirely his fault, though. This is because "King George III was diagnosed with a disease [Porphyria] that made him mentally unstable" (Timmons). Porphyria is a disease that causes …show more content…
This is what happened to The British Commonwealth countries such as Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Newfoundland, Eire, and The Union of South Africa. America would not have gained it's independence for another one hundred years or so, but it would be peaceful and the US and UK would have a better and more productive relationship. This would have been helpful in both of the world wars, this is because they are two strong and powerful countries and if they had been allies, things would have been
Both the British and the American colonists contributed to causing the American Revolution. The war grew out of contempt: England’s contempt for the colonies and colonial contempt for British policies. A series of actions by the British eventually pushed the colonists over the edge and towards independence. The results of the war gave many citizens a new role in society while others, like slaves, felt no change at all. This paper will examine the specific causes and effects of the American Revolution.
I disagree with the narrative. I believe that the war for American Independence was inevitable and that the British Empire could not have been saved. One of the biggest possibilities of the war not occurring was if England set the Colonies free from their rule.
Your actions have made us want to rebell and become our own country. A good relationship between us should go something like this: You should have let us have the right to vote for our leaders. Everyone in England is able to vote for their leaders, so if we are truly Englishmen why do we not have the full rights of Englishmen? Also, you should seek our council in the matter of restoring to the treasury what was spent on the war with France. Instead you have demanded our aid in enforcement of unreasonable acts taxation. Our grievances are thus: First, you have made the tea tax too high. Tea is the most popular drink of Englishmen and you have taxed it to pay for a war in which the colonies had no quarrel. Second, you made the stamp act, taxing paper products. This strains a free press; no doubt advantaging the crown. It also taxes one of our few luxuries, card games - again, unfairly paying for a war we didn’t want. Third, you made us board and house British soldiers with the quartering act. Taking care of them means we have to pay for their needs, and in a random, undistributed way. Fourth, you closed the Boston port after the Tea Party as a punishment. This makes international trade impossible and
The patriots were against the king, and wanted to be individual. The American Revolution presented George III with a crisis that seemed to destroy all he had worked to achieve (Reitan). King George was so stressed with so much happening at one time. It made him go mad with illness. “George III’s long struggle to maintain the independent role of the monarch was frustrated by the growth of cabinet government and the increasing power of Parliament.
The American Revolution was a very important war in history as if we had lost, we would all be living a different way than we do now. We would all probably not be here if it weren’t for our victory in that war.
First, what would’ve happened if American Revolution didn’t happened? If the American Revolution didn't happen then I think everything would be fine. No one would have rebelled against others. This happened because of the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and the Tea Act: however, all this lead to the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Do you think there was anything the colonists or the British government could have done differently to avoid the revolution? I think that the colonists (or British government) could’ve done something different about the different Acts they made.
One of the biggest failures during the American Revolution was the king of Great Britain
What would have happened if Britain never had to tax the American colonists? Would the colonies have ever become independent? Would the United States still be under British rule? Unless there was another cause for America to wish to become independent, America might as well have still been under the control of Great Britain. King George III’s, a ruler of Great Britain, major choice, during his reign, made all the difference, in his country’s and the American Colonists’ future.
The initial 12 actions include King George III's foundation of an oppressive power set up of agent government. The establishment of delegate government is the force of the general population to make laws for people in general great. Ruler George III meddled with that procedure by dismissing enactment proposed by the states, dissolving provincial groups of representation, supplanting pioneer governments with his selected priests, and meddling with the naturalization of natives in new districts. Lord George III developed his overbearing control by meddling with the goal legal procedures and the social equality of the settlers. Lord George III kept the foundation of legal forces in the states and made judges reliant on him for their employments
It’s normal for a leader to tax his people and to rule over them. However, King George was heavily taxing the colonies and was ruling over them harshly. He raised taxes to compensate for the spending during the French and Indian War. This started with the Sugar Act, which taxed some goods, including sugar, and continued on to the Stamp Act, which taxed all paper goods. The colonists believed that only their own representatives could tax them. They thought that this taxation was unconstitutional and turned to mob violence. I would be upset if I had to pay the king extra because he spent all of his money during the war. In response to this, Parliament rescinded the Stamp Act not long after it started. Parliament also declared that the East India Company controlled most of the tea market in the colonies. Protesting this declaration, a band of colonists boarded merchant ships and threw the crates of tea in the harbor in an event known as the Boston Tea Party. As punishment, Parliament approved the Coercive Acts of 1774, which limited the trade in and out of Boston. I would support
In this essay I will be talking about the American Revolution. I will also be explaining examples of what it would of been like if the American Revolution never happened. History would be different if the American Revolution didn’t happen. If the American Revolution never happened we would be sad and we never been able to celebrate Independence Day. The American Revolution was not a good thing it was very messy. The world would have changed if the American did not happen. The British could have been nicer to America. America thought that British were not being far when the war started. The British was unfair at times during the war to America. If the American Revolution never happened we would still be under the British rules and laws. We would
Without the role of Colonial Boston, the American Revolution may have never started. The protests in Boston acted as the cornerstones for the revolution. But for the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Siege of Boston, the United States may still be ruled by the Crown today.
The British American expansion is associated with problems with royal control, civil war, and financial involvement. The civil war lasted for a long time due to Oliver Cromwell executing the English king, Charles I. As a result commonwealth was established to limit government and anti-monarchical beliefs. When Cromwell died in 1658, the commonwealth was no longer useful and no ruler. The conservative military took charge of the country, and later Charles II was responsible to follow his father duties. Charles II made essential decisions on gaining control on trade adjustments. The rule was for colonists to only sell to England. This was to reduce the transfer of resources from England to its competitors. To pay off debts, Charles II gave
The United States is the most powerful nation in the world because of its military economy and culture dominant across the planet.Thus its difficult to imagine 250 years ago America was a group of British colonies hugging the East Coast. When it did Ravel it barely won the war that any reasonable universe that the British would've won the battle. The question to ask is that what if the American Revolution never happen and that if the U.S was still being with the British colony? "The value of such huge, open-ended questions has always been to help people - as they think about the answers - to realize that social development
The first argument is that King George did not have the knowledge or maturity required to control a country. He was selfish and couldn’t get a grip on his people, or his economy. He, eventually, went mad, proving this even more. “The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.” (Document E). Even his subjects had this brought to their
