The Declaration Of Independence: Was The American Revolution Justified?

The Declaration of Independence was created to cut all ties the colonies had with Great Britain. Great Britain was using it’s power to suppress the colonists and the American colonists had had enough. From unsanctioned tariffs to discriminatory taxes, Britain tried it’s best to contain them. Multiple acts bestowed upon the colonists were in direct violation of colonist’s rights to freely pursue life, liberty, and happiness. American colonist’s opposition to being oppressed by it’s British counterpart ultimately led to the Declaration of Independence.

The American Revolution was a colonial revolt that took place between 1765 and 1783. There were political, economic, and cultural causes of the revolution. In a nutshell, the British wanted to make as much money as possible out of the 13 Colonies. Great Britain was the “mother country”. Many of the colonists came from Great Britain, so they shared the same ideals as the king.

The American Revolution was an important time in America’s history, creating the beginnings of America as its own independent country. The revolution was started because of conflicts between the 13 colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown. After being controlled by the British for so long, the colonists decided that they no longer wanted to be controlled by the british. The colonists started this revolution for their freedom, however, the revolution would grow into so much more, laying out the basis for the United States of America that we know now.

The American Revolution was a political and a social mutiny among the colonists against the authority of Great Britain. Rejecting Britain’s monarchy, the colonists endeavored change in their favor that would allow them to govern themselves freely and fairly. The founding fathers in America sought a constitution that unified the colonies under one governing body. The Constitution, organized by James Madison, gave rights and freedoms to the colonists that they had previously not seen before under British rule. The Declaration of Independence that initiated the Revolutionary War, demanded autonomy for the American people against the British, and freedom became a driving force behind the revolution as a whole. Although history claims that the revolution

The American Revolution officially began in 1776 with the agreement of the continental congress to adopt Richard Henry Lee‘s plan to break with Great Britain. Up until very soon before, many through the colonies had entertained hopes of reconciling with Great Britain. They were British citizens and Great Britain provided protection, wealth and the respect of being associated with so great a power.

The colonists were justified in their decision to declare independence from Great Britain. This is because of the ways in which King George III exploited his power, as well as the numerous foolish decisions he made. After the French/Indian war, laws such as the Townshend act, Navigation act, and the Stamp act were inflicted upon the colonists. These policies were not unjustified, the French/Indian war was costly and had greatly benefitted the colonists. However, they were still unfair, given that the colonists’ sole purpose for England up to that point had been to make them money through mercantilism. They were already extremely beneficiary to the British economy, and taxing them, at least to that extent,

The declaration of independence is a document that establishes the freedom we have in the United States. As it states in the document ‘’We The People’’,’’The declaration was a justification for the American Revolution’’. Jefferson used ideas of philosophy in the argument.

It was so great to see you in Carrollton last month. I have thought a lot about your question concerning George Washington and decided to do a little research. Maybe this will help shed some light on the importance of George Washington to Americans. By the way, it helped me learn a little too.

The American Revolution began on April 19, 1775. It was the war between Great Britain and its colonies located in the New World. The colonists, as many historians put it, were like children rebelling against the motherland; however, they had many valid reasons for this revolt, including their desire for freedom and independence. My World History textbook says freedom was falsely promised when the colonists had settled (Krull 868). The more direct causes of this widely known rebellion include taxes due to the French and Indian war, the Boston Massacre, the Intolerable Acts, and finally the formation of the First Continental Congress.

The American Revolution of 1763-1783 saw the Americans fight for their independence from the British Empire. There were many factors which contributed towards the American Revolution, such as: financial reasons, economic reasons, the fight for rights and liberty from despotism.1 On July 4th 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed granting that America fight for their rights and independence from the British. The Declaration of Independence states that all people have the right of freedom and equality: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”2 Despite the American

The American Revolution was a political disturbance that happened between 1765 and 1783 during which colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies disallowed the British monarchy and aristocracy. Which they then overthrew the authority of Great Britain, and founded the United States of America. Beginning in 1765, members of the American colonial society prohibited the authority of the British to tax them without colonial representatives in the government. The Patriot leadership professed the political values of liberalism and republicanism to discard monarchy and aristocracy, and proclaimed that all men are created equal.

Thomas Jefferson started the task of writing the Declaration of Independence between the dates of June 11 through June 28th of 1776 but was not signed by the congress until July 4th of 1776. The Colonist were fed up with the Britain government because they knew they were being mistreated. I like to think of the Declaration of Independence as a way of giving the people peace. This allowed the people the right to abolish the government, if they felt the government was not being truthful or if they were not upholding the laws. This in fact gave the Thirteen American Colonies an opportunity to part ways with the British Empire, they became independent as the colonies of the United States.

The American Revolution was a fight in which 13 of Great Britain’s North American colonies won political independence, and later on formed the United States of America. The Revolution occurred between 1776 and 1783; it became more than a movement to separate and gain independence from Britain. Throughout the Revolution, Americans developed new ideas about what liberty meant and who should have it. Some consider the American Revolution a Civil War involving struggles about social class, race and gender. The American Revolution allowed for a positive change in the life of some Americans.

The overall purpose of the Declaration of Independence was that the Colonies living in the North America were seeking separation from the British. The reason why they want this separation is that they want the right to appoint people who will lead them. Also, they want to end the abuse and the tyranny of the King of Great Britain.

The American Revolution was fought from 1775- 1783. The North American colonies of Great Britain wanted freedom from the colonial government. Some of the reasons why the colonists wanted independence from the British Government were due to underrepresentation in the government, unfair taxes imposed on them, and the fact that the soon to be Americans wanted to be truly free. The revolution started in April of 1775 when the colonists could not live an unjust life anymore. However, full war did not break out until that summer. Independence was won in 1776, freeing the colonies from Britain’s rule. Even though freedom was already won the fighting did not cease until 1783. This was the Launch of America’s flourishing greatness that we would see
