Pros And Cons To Get Rid Of The Colonies

During the time before the War of Independence there was a rift over the British rule in the Thirteen Colonies. After the Seven Years War the British were attempting to save money. The British wanted to do this by having the troops stationed in the Thirteen Colonies instead of Britain. The British then decided that instead of keeping the troops stationed in the Thirteen Colonies, they would have the colonists pay for them. The British attempted this by raising the taxes, but the colonists refused to pay. The colonists wanted to be able to elect representatives into British parliament, but the colonists were not able to elect representatives. The colonists then came up with the slogan, "No taxation

The Lord Proprietors were founded SC in 1663. This charter issued by King Charles II of England, proposed the formation of the Lords Proprietors and gave the lands of Carolina to the eight proprietors.

The American Revolution was a war of independence between 1775 and 1783 caused by a myriad of political, economic, social and religious disputes between British and American colonies. Political representation for colonists was put into question when economic factors such as taxes came into play. A major factor that drove reform during the American Revolution was the freedom of religion. People were being limited in their participation, were forced to pay taxes on the official church and had to obey church laws. Colonists began to fight against these restrictions and eventually gained rights for people of different religion and as a result of the American Revolution, religious minorities experienced benefits such as the liberty of religion

Great Britain’s longest-ruling monarch before Queen Victoria, King George III ascended the British throne in 1760, during turbulent times in which, brought about several oppressive and abusive actions towards the thirteen colonies. Salutary neglect: a policy of non-interference, enabled the American colonies to prosper by trading products. Nevertheless, when the French and Indian War had finally come to an end, the British had severe debt and was left with possible solutions which only revolved around taxing the colonies. Furthermore, the Royal Proclamation: a document that set out guidelines for European settlement of Aboriginal territories, had infuriated the colonies and they protested that the Proclamation deprived them of land known as their God-given right. In 1774, the British Parliament passed harsh and unbearable laws known as the Intolerable Acts which were meant to punish American colonists for the Boston Tea Party and other protests. Overall, the colonists were very wrathful regarding all acts and did not want the British Empire ruling over them. To summarize, in the short span of thirteen years, the colonies went from being loyal subjects of King George III to becoming rebels capable of overthrowing the most dominant military nation on earth.

The 1776 musical takes place in colonial America, mostly in Philadelphia, where representatives from the 13 colonies sat in the heat to discuss American independence. John Adams, the main character of the musical, wants to persuade the other representatives that breaking ties with the mother country is the best way to go. However, the 13 colonies are split between whether they want independence or not. When the representatives decided that there will be a vote for independence, John Adams, along with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, work together to try to convince all 13 colonies to vote “yay” for independence. After long arguments and compromise, a unanimous vote for independence was made and all of the representatives signed the Declaration

The 13 colonies should be justified in declaring war against Great Britain. The colonists should be justified in declaring war against Great Britain because the British are taxing the Colonists too much. The colonists also should be justified because the helpless colonists are being shot by the powerful and cruel British. They should be justified for war because they want peace. So the 13 colonies should be justified in declaring war against Great Britain.

The thirteen colonies had a major impact on the independence of what is now present day United States of America. Of the three different types of colonies, there were two colonies: (the most northern colonies)New England colonies and the Middle colonies. The New England colonies consisted of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The Middle colonies included New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. The two separate colonies had both some similarities and some differences.

The northern and southern colonies, which were founded in the early 1600s. Both shared similarities and differences in reasons for settlement, economics basis, and geography. The northern and southern colonies also shared differences and similarities for hardships, leaders, relationships with the Native Americans, problems and resolutions, growths and changes, and the types of governments.

During the 17th century, the colonization of the America was in full swing. Although the colonies all belonged to England, the colonies all varied in their own unique way. The northern and southern colonies, for instance, had already split into two separate cultures. The northern colonies were more focused on industry, with wide export range of machine-made products, while the southern colonies tended towards more agricultural pursuits, primarily cash crops like tobacco and cotton. Though the northern colonies were more uniform, a byproduct of the more populated cities situated up in the north, the southern colonies were more diverse. The southern colonies differed in a variety of ways, yet also maintained some base characteristics which grouped them together.

Being a part of the British empire brought numerous benefits to the colonists. First of all,

Do you want to live in a new colony? The middle colonies are the best colony of them all. The middle colonies were made up of four states Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Delaware. The middle colonies presented a good amount of religion unlike the new england colonies and the southern colonies.

In Europe, population grew quickly and land value, prosperity, and trade increased with it. Also the rise of nationalism made the nation more powerful, unified, and imposed new taxes. Beginning with Christopher Columbus’s discovery of America in 1492, colonists settled in America for different reasons. Some came for profits; others came for religious freedom (and for escaping religious persecution). It was England, France, Spain and the Netherlands who, in the sixteenth century, launched major colonization programs in eastern North America. Each colony more or less differed or resembled in their first interaction with the Natives (such as the more peaceful contact of the French, the more hostile one of the Spaniards, and the peaceful-turned-hostile

John White left for supplies with 117 people in his colony in Roanoke, VA and came back two years later (Lane). Everything had completely vanished. How could someone leave and when they get back everything is just gone? Roanoke Colony completely vanished nothing left; no bodies, no supplies, but there are many theories dealing with the fate of the colonists.

After the Civil War, the United States struggled to keep up with other countries in the world. While figuring out how fix the corruption in the American government, the other countries were practicing imperialism. Imperialism is a policy by which strong nations extend their political, military, and economic control over weaker territories. Realizing that we needed to make a change, the United States started working towards the goal of practicing imperialism as well. To do this, our first few targets were Hawaii and Alaska. In 1867, we sought to buy Alaska because they had resources that we wanted, such as lumber and minerals. This was known as Seward’s Folly after the Secretary of State William Seward. In 1898, our desire of Hawaii was fulfilled when they agreed to annexation. However, this was not without struggle. King Kalakaua of Hawaii wanted the white planters to vote, but when he died, his sister, Queen Liliuokalani reversed his decision. She took away the power of whites, which eventually led to her being overthrown with the help of the United States Marines. The Hawaiian people opposed annexation, but when Mckinley became president, Hawaii was declared American territory. Sanford B. Doyle, a white plantation owner who asked for the annexation, became the first governor of Hawaii. This addition into American territory drastically influenced our economy.

The british were very unfair and very unattractive to the american colonies mostly because of power and money the american colonies just wanted independence and self ruling for their own colony that's why we had the american revolution.
