Essay How the American Revolution Changed the World

The American Revolutionary war began in-part because of economic struggles England faced after securing safety for it’s colonies during the Seven Years War. England needed to increase their taxation on the colonists after the war to pay off its war debts. Prior to these taxes, the colonies were wholly content while under the wing of the British Empire. Not only because the protection the British provided, but also because of their deep reverence for the Motherland. Colonists were angered by with Parliament due to their lack of acknowledgement towards colonists rights and opinions. Colonists stood together in a defiant motion towards liberation from England’s tyrannous acts of lawless duplicity. Before British government was able to fully

The American Revolution changed the political and social aspects of the United States. After the war ended many things changed in the states. From the political stand point women still had power but gained a few rights after the war and since the states where now free from British rule they could now create their own form of central government and elected a leader. On the social and economical side the belief of egalitarianism was widely being accepted, and mercantilism ended so the colonies were no longer forced from imported and export goods to England.

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.

     The English hardly every interfered with colonial business. During the period of salutary neglect, the colonists started to think and act independently of England. They lived far away from Britain and had grown self-reliant. Laws, such as the Navigation Acts, were not strictly enforced,

The American Revolution. An ongoing controversial topic that is the subject of many debates and historians’ studies. A war that some say was all to blame on the colonists. On the contrary to this belief, this war was to blame on the British. This is because of their irrational acts, laws, and taxes passed. These enacted rules angered many colonists as the acts, in turn, caused bankruptcy for many citizens. These unfair ordinances resulted in a series of bloodshed battles, beginning in 1765 and ending in 1783. Many of these laws provoked angry colonists leading to the war declaration. Three specific events in which the British are contributing to tensions that led to the revolution were, the Proclamation of 1763 and the stationing of British troops, the Sugar act, as well as the Stamp act.

American colonists became angry with laws introduced by the British government in 1763-1776. Colonial resistance became more unified as Great Britain tried to tighten its rule of the colonies. The colonists thought of themselves as englishmen, and believed that they should not be taxed without consent. This caused the colonists to become angry against British rule. Two examples of taxes were the tea act, and the quartering act. The tea act caused fear because colonial merchants were in jeopardy of going out of business. The quartering act angered the colonists because Britain posted 10,000 soldiers on the proclamation line, and the colonists were forced to house and feed the soldiers without consent. These acts led to the revolutionary war.

The American Revolution is associated with the Revolutionary war and it is rightfully so, but the Revolution began before the war for independence. Many things added to the tension between the colonies and Great Britain including various acts, events, ideas, and personalities. Great Britain implemented different Acts in order to tax the colonies and pay back the massive debt that was acquired during the French and Indian War. Acts such as the Stamp Act and the Quartering Act were put into place which increased tension. The Stamp Act put a tax on most of the paper products while the Quartering Act made the colonist house and support soldiers at their own expense. The intolerable acts were four acts that served to push the colonist over the edge because the acts took away the control to govern themselves and increased taxes on other products.

The American Revolution, one of the most significant events in our world’s history, has established a huge impact on not only life back in the eighteenth and nineteenth century but our society today. The Acts of Parliament highly benefited the British but did not afford those same rights to the colonists until the formal issuing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, in which colonial freedom was granted. The most controversial issue is which group caused it; a result of propaganda by the colonists. Multiple acts and protests contributed to this war, three influential ones being the Stamp Act, Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.

Around 1763, Britain was in immense debt from funding the 7 Years War (French and Indian War). Britain was lacking revenue and they decided that the colonists were responsible to help them since they took part in the war as well.. Britain started taxing the colonists by enacting many different acts until 1776. Colonists did not think very highly of these taxations and believed it was an infringement of their rights to tax them without their consent. Eventually, Colonists became so resistant to British Rule, that the Independence Movement was started. Colonists were upset acts were being imposed on them without consent . Their resentment from trade regulations grew thus leading to rebellion. Colonists attempted reconciling

The change of American ideas between 1763 and 1783 became more anti British as colonists became increasingly ridiculed by British forces and enraged by their actions. They were uncompromising with their taxes and abused the colonists with their military forces. Starting in 1764, there was a stream of many taxes set in place including; the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Townshend Acts. These made the colonists angry, but there was more. The quartering act and Boston massacre were both actions of the British forces’ brutality and uncompromising behavior.

One reason that the Coercive/Intolerable Acts led to the revolutionary war was because, one, the colonists were already angered by the taxes, laws, and acts. The reason they were already angered was because before the French and Indian war, the colonies were mostly untouched/ never really bothered by Great Britain. But after the war, the British needed to pay off its massive debts

As our discussion post provided this week, the colonists responded with rebellion because of the new acts that were imposed upon them by the British (Schultz, K., 2013). Their attempt to reform the American colonies contributed to the growth of the Revolutionary movement because the British tried to enforce stricter policies and laws (Schultz, K. M., 2013). The British wanted to tighten the policies over the colonial officials so that it would reduce the corruption, the British wanted control over the area of land that the settlers occupied, and they wanted to raise revenue by taxing goods. Although the British were adamant about their purpose, the colonist believed that rebelling against them would help in receiving their independence.

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.

Oppression is the foundation of revolution. Injustice fuels revolutionary fervor in the oppressed. In the eyes of the colonists, the British oppressed the colonists. In the late Eighteenth Century, increased taxation and restrictions imposed by the British were intolerable actions. Many colonists saw these actions as unjust and oppressive. Increased political restrictions and economic exploitations resulted in increased revolutionary fervor. The oppression of the colonists during Britain’s seemingly tyrannical reign led to the American Revolution. Colonists were outraged by Britain’s disregard of the British Constitution displayed by taxes and restrictions. . Economic acts implemented by the British resulted in other complaints regarding the circumstances under which the acts were implemented. In other words, the American Revolution was comparatively not about money. Although America’s problems with Britain were seemingly economic, colonists cared more about political power and independence than taxation itself. Grievances expressed by colonists mostly reflected the a lack of representation, the minimization of colonial self-government, and the deprivation of rights. Consequently, the American Revolution was caused by British economic and political policies that led to unfavorable colonial opinions of the 18th Century British government.

In theory the colonists accepted the principle that natural laws rather than royal decrees should govern the economy. In practice only the southern colonies were bound to England by the tobacco trade. The New England and Middle Colonies, unable to find markets in Britain, found prosperity by trading outside the empire. Any attempt
