The English Colonies was a hard place to live in with the Sugar Act, the Stamp act, and the monarchy trying to rule our every move . England was trying to pay for all their previous debts in other wars and took it out on the colonist. The English Colonies decided to revolt against England and won their independence, this war was known as the American Revolution. The United States was starting to look like a place where people would want to live, because there was no monarchy and a government that all white men can vote on. After the United States established independence the government ruled under the Articles of Confederation, and this was better than being ruled by England but was not what everyone thought it would be. Then after work and thought by the country leaders we now live under the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. There have been had rough times for the people of the United States and still is more to come. Right after the American Revolution there was some post war debt that effected most of the population in the United States, especially poor artisans and subsistence farmers . It was really rough at first for families to make it and not lose their houses, business, and farms to foreclosure. Financier Robert Morris took global perspective and opened a new trade route to the orient. The Empress of China sailed to Canton, China’s foreign commerce, and made a profit of $20,000 on the items they sold to China. After the return of Empress of China
Between 1770 and 1776, resistance to imperial change turned into a full-on revolution. The American Revolution, also known as the Revolutionary War, was a time of revolting and political uprising, in which the 13 colonies separated from the British Empire, forming the independent nation known as the United States of America. Though the American Revolution began because the colonies wanted independence from Britain, many important historical events and revolts also lead to the tensions and resistance to what resulted in freedom and independence for the colonies from British rule. Events such as the Stamp and Sugar Acts, the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, and the Continental Congress led to expanding tensions and soon to the outbreak of the American Revolution.
Taking a look at the events that led up to the American Revolution, one could assume that eventually the 13 colonies were going to rebel against Britain. Events that led to the American Revolution include the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act, which eventually led to the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. After all of these events, the 13 colonies decided that they wanted to declare their freedom from Britain. Thus, sparked the American Revolution lasting six years, and after this came the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
The United States went into what was called the American Revolution in 1765. The British had recently lost a war at Lexington and Concord, and also lost a lot of their money. The British ended up taxing the Americans to make up their dues. The Americans did not like this too much, so angered Americans fought with the British, leading to the American Revolution.
The American Revolution was inevitable and America could have not gradually and peacefully developed independence within the British Commonwealth without the violent revolt. The colonist were getting fed up with the way that they were being governed and they felt as if they did not have rights. They wanted everything to go back the way it was before because they did not want to break away from the British but they wanted the salutary neglect to continue. Salutary neglect consist of the the government having rules and not enforcing them which would eventually cause an uproar from the Colonists. The peace with salutary neglect eventually was disturbed when the British decided the Colonists needed to pay taxes due to large national war debt that was upon them but the Colonists did not agree with that decision.
The span of years from 1750 to 1776 were some of the most important years in American history. Up until the eve of the revolution, the British were still very involved in American lifestyle and there was no unity among the colonies. However, as the eve of revolution neared and harsh acts, salutary neglect, and lack of representation was implied on the colonies by their mother country England, America built a great sense of unity and a sense of identity as a country.
From the start the colonies were never paid much attention by Great Britain. Great Britain had a policy of salutary neglect. This means that Great Britain would stay hands off of most colonial affairs as long as the colonies paid and obeyed trade and tax laws. Great Britain believed as long as they minded their own business the colonies would stay in line. If not for this neglect many of the core principles the U.S. was founded on would not have been created. One of these is the legislative assembly in which every man is in some way represented and that assembly sets and follows its own laws. The other is the religious freedom formed from this neglect causing the colonists and Britains to become very different kinds of people. This policy did
The American Revolution was about economic rights. After many things the colonists finally decided to rebel after these main things. Taxation without representation, Britain forbad the them to settle west of the Apache Mountains, and the colonists were forced to give the British soldiers supplies and shelters out of their own pockets, even though they did not want the soldiers there. Britain found herself in a large amount of debt, and one way to leave that debt is start making the colonies pay high duties.
The Americans struggled a lot go gain their independence from their mother country England. They felt like they were still under England’s control even though they were in America. They believed that if they were in America they could establish things that they wanted which was to create their own type of government. They didn’t wish to be in control of England anymore which resulted in two wars. These wars were the American revolution and the War of 1812 in which the Americans were victorious.
The American revolution was a costly war and left the colonies in a state of depression. Some changes were felt immediately, while others have taken their toll over the years. English tradition such as the land inheritance was swept away immediately as the Anglican Church in America could no longer survive. After the colonies declared its independence from Great Britain, we had to write our own constitution as every society needs a set of rules in which to be governed by. Representatives from all of the colonies worked together to form the Articles of Confederation ,which showed the inexperience of our nation within the flaws of the document itself.
The American Revolution was the most important event to ever take place in this country. This war took place from 1765-1783 and involved Great Britain and the United States of America. Without this revolution, the colonies would have never gained independence from Great Britain and the United States could still be under their control. However, this revolution did not occur without a cause, early Americans fought for independence because of unfair treatment from England. There were many causes to the Revolution including high taxes, unfair laws, and even colonists being killed.
The American Revolution took place during 1765 and 1783 and is what gave us the country that we now know today. The thirteen colonies cut all political ties with Great Britain and became their own independent states, known as the United States of America. As conflicts with Great Britain increased the need for Independence grew.
The thirteen colonies that became the United States of America were originally colonies of Great Britain. By the time the American Revolution took place, the citizens of these colonies were beginning to get tired of the British rule. Rebellion and discontent were rampant. The main reason the colonies started rebelling against "mother England" was the taxation issue. The colonies debated England’s legal power to tax them and they did not wish to
The American Revolution taking place first in 1765, was mainly because there was a want for a free and open government. After the battles of Lexington and Concord they colonies were debating whether fighting for independence or reconciliation was the best way to protect their liberties as colonies. If and when people decided that independence was the best option, they were still hesitant about openly seeking this freedom. Though Congress was sending out declarations that the colonies were loyal to King George, they were also preparing for war with the British, which was much of a contradiction. The British also prepared for war and even recruited slaves to fight for them. Many
Much like the French Revolution, the American Revolution was brought upon by the people who wanted a change. Growing numbers of immigrants added to the population in the lower and middle classes in the country, making overcrowding and poor conditions. As cities started to grow, the government- located across the ocean- decided to try and make changes, including larger taxes. The people in America did not like the idea of being ruled over by people so far away, so they began their search for new forms of authority. The people looked for independence, and their search led them to a war and the Revolution. As the country became free and independent, more and more changes were made. The Declaration of Independence was signed, and the Bill of Rights was issued. While it was largely political that change came from the American Revolution, it was America's people created, fought, and won the American Revolution, leading to a better life for them all.
The American Revolution was a war fought between Great Britain and the American colonies over independence from 1775 to 1783 which resulted in a fundamental change in American politics, society, and economics. The American Revolution began as a result of Great Britain taxing the colonies to cover the debts accumulated through the French and Indian War. While the majority of the colonies stayed loyal to their ‘Mother Land’, some of the colonist felt resentment toward England. Some colonist felt that England had no right to tax the colonies, while they had no representation in parliament. This created a divide within in the colonies between those who were in favor of independence-Patriots, and those who were still loyal to the Crown-
