The Consequences Of Breaking Away From Britain

We as British citizens living in the colonies to serve the crown were treated differently from those in Great Britain. We were told to pay special taxes by British and we felt it very unnecessary seeing to it that we are Americans with our families being her from fifty to a hundred years. We have a new way of life that differs from those of Great Britain and

As a colonist, I think the colonies should be separated from England and be free; independent states. England is not being fair to us. They have made many laws that all of us don’t agree with including the proclamation of 1763 and many more. They have also made taxes and because of that we have rebelled. Many resources could have been saved if England would just cooperate.

The American colonists were justified for separating from Great Britain because of the unfair taxes Great Britain forced on them. One example of an unfair tax was the Stamp Act, which was a tax placed on all paper goods, such as newspapers or letters. In Document 2 John Dickinson explains that the Stamp Act was unconstitutional

A single colony cannot depart from its mother country and lead a revolution; only a whole united nation, such as that of the American colonies, could successfully detach themselves from Mother England. One must take into consideration that up until the eve of revolution, much had happened in the time era of 1607-1776, where the British were still very involved in the American lifestyle and there was no unity within the nation, nevertheless the colonies. However, after the numerous acts imposed by the so called mother that should've taken care of the colonist, more Americans saw the light and realized their

The British rule in the American colonies has reached a breaking point for most. The people want to have freedom from

Colonists sought independence from British government for a multitude of reasons. Tension quickly rose between England and the thirteen colonies due to the unjust taxing without fair representation in Parliament, the colonist’s rights to assemble were taken away by the British, and there were many unreasonable Acts and laws put into place in attempt to have complete control over the colonists as well as intimidate them. For these reasons and the suffering that the colonists endured at the hands of the British government, I feel that the colonists had plenty just causes to separate themselves from England.

“Give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry. I believe that the Colonists were justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain and the King. King George was making the Colonists pay very unfair taxes, he was trying to rule over them from all the way over in England, and he wouldn’t take the colonies legislators opinions into consideration. While some people may say that the Colonists were just unappreciative, that is not correct. They continued to stay with the King until the King turned on them and made them do things they didn’t want to do and shouldn’t have to do.

The first reason that the colonists were justified in breaking away from the British was because the British Parliament and soldiers made unjust decisions for their own personal gain and abused their powers over the colonists. As stated in Document 2 of the packet “Document-Based Questions--Path to Revolution”, the British parliament taxed the colonists for the sole purpose of levying money upon them (Stamp Act). The taxes was also mainly used to pay for the French-Indian War, which seems like it justifies the British taxing, except for the fact that it was taxes without representation, which can be labeled as tyranny. This supports my argument, as the American colonists didn’t like having to pay for the war, and let Britain take money away from them for profit. Another piece of evidence that supports my claim would be that on Document 10 of the packet it was stated that, “We have understood it be

Dear fellow conlinits i have gathered you all here to discuss britain's power over us and i have been thinking for years about how can we break away from them because we do all the work and we get little in return in fact we had to pay taxes on paper just to use it and i think we should stand up and take what is ours

Britain and its government has been taxing us and forcing laws upon us. For example, we have no representation in Britain to vote on any of the taxes they have forced us to pay which is taxation without representation and is a completely unjust and crooked thing to do. Another example, is The Quartering Act which we have to house and feed British soldiers which is hard on the already impoverished colonists. Even though we are a distance aways from Britain, we still deserve our representation in the government.The British can argue that we are still their subjects even though we are a million miles

There were several reasons colonists wanted to break away from the English. A large reason the colonists wanted to break away from English rule was the amount of high taxes that they had to pay for almost everything, because they essentially had to foot the bill for a war. The colonists also had no say on the laws that were passed by a government that was across an ocean, thus the phrase “No Taxation without Representation.” Paying high taxes and having no say in what laws were passed obviously made the colonists angry with the British government, but another factor was the British would not let the colonists trade with anyone else besides them. This means that all trades going in or out could only be done with Britain. Forcing the colonists to pay whatever the British merchants wanted to set their price at because there was no major competition. All of these things as well as not letting the colonists expand past the Mississippi River, would calumniate into a revolution in which the colonists would form their own government and finally fulfill their wish of breaking away from British rule.

     I know it is hard to believe we (the colonists) would be on the verge of a revolution against our own homeland. My father has explained to me the reasons we deserve independence from God, the King, and the British people. There are many things going on in the colonies to lead us to our current thoughts. The British people have imposed many Acts upon us colonists.

For these reasons and more, we need to secede from the British Empire. We have been treated unjustly and unconstitutionally many times by King George III.  He allows soldiers to overrun our homes, sleep in our beds, eat our food and leave us starving without so much as backwards glance. If we don’t secede from the British Empire now, while we can, we may be stuck under the British rule forever, watching our children, our children’s children and their children suffer and

Murder by definition is the destruction of another human being. When polled, ninety percent of adults, aging from twenty to forty, responded that murder was wrong. In 1994, Polly Klaas, a twelve-year-old girl was abducted from her own home. Her body was later found, and her killer, Richard Alan Davis, pleaded guilty to charges of kidnapping and first degree murder. When polled, seventy-five percent of the same adults felt that sentencing Richard Alan Davis to death was not wrong. The death penalty can often be approached in this matter. The definition seems somehow inadequate when it is compared to the crime. It is a paragon of situational ethics, and solid moral arguments are slim. As with many debates of human rights, the moral
