The Importance Of Staying Connect To Great Britain

Conflicts between Great Britain and the thirteen colonies created a feud, unknown to last decades long. Motives to pay back British debt came from the French-Indian War. Outcomes of the British victory over the war were bitter-sweet, as it aided British expansion in North America, though creating a giant debt due to war costs. The Jamestown settlement that started the thirteen colonies, funded by King James of England, spurred a new generation of American Natives. Though the British expected power and success of the idea of expanding English land to the colonies, the separation geographically, caused the by products of self-governing ideas and nationalistic beliefs among the colonists, overall weakening the influence Great Britain had on their

One reason I would be a patriot during the American Revolution is because England’s debt was not the colonists’ responsibility. Many colonists fought in the French and Indian War, and they did their part. England should have stopped forcing the colonists to unwillingly pay the war debt. The taxes took away some of the colonists’ money. Additionally, they loaned money

After the victory towards French in the Seven Years War, the political and social relationship of the colonists and Great Britain had shifted to a different direction. The colonists began to think of themselves as Americans. At that time, The British government felt that the colonies had become quite independence, and they wanted their colonies to start paying tax in order to help England pay the national debt. Not only were Americans forced to pay direct taxes, but they were also obliged to involve in strict regulatory acts such as Sugar Act and Currency Act. Sugar Act (1764) strongly affected American’s trading in which their oceanic vessels and cargos could be inspected by the British Navy and might be confiscated if the paper and the goods that being transported were in disagreement. Currency Act (1764) restricted colonial governments to print their own paper money. These two acts put some colonists in anger but they were not enough to result in civil disorder until the Stamp Act was passed. The reason that the colonists resisted government authority with the passage of the Stamp Act (1765) was because the Stamp Act collected taxes in all type of papers including newspapers, playing cards, licenses, and stamps. This outraged many colonists especially the educated 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.

Separation from Britain was a brilliant alternative route by the Second Continental Congress, and their supporters, the patriots, they were not submissive to the Britain tyrannical reigning. However, there are many online article, books, and credible websites that support the idea of America remaining with the British for commercial and military purposes. But the delegates in the Second Continental Congress, for example, John Dickson, George read, and many other colony representatives, gained an opening in seceding from the British Crown. Since the American Revolution War already began before the Second Continental Congress met, delegates wanted to raise a stronger army and weapon to counter the Crown forces. Additionally, an English

They felt as if the war was unnessessary and will only bring death in which didn’t have to be brought. Also through their eyes patriots were doing things very uncalled for because Britian was only trying to help and guide America to a better state. Loyalist James Chalmers said, “Great Britain has afforded to all mankind the most perfect proof of her wise, lenient and magnanimous government on the Colonies…” this was said in the speech “Plain Truth”. This quote states the idea of the loyalist being that of, Britian doing nothing wrong through their actions in the colonies. Later he also states, “Innumerable are the advantages of our connection with Britain, and a just dependence on her is a sure way to avoid the calamities and horrors of war. [Thomas Paine] surely forgets that when independent, we cannot trade with Europe…” Another arguement posed by the loyalist was, the colonies needed Britian for trade purposes. Without Britian the colonies would fall into ruin because of economic and physical downfalls of the society and the

Others, would not follow in such vile acts if there were any casualties. These people would be more known as Loyalists for they would not betray Britain and the Loyalists had a valid reason for siding with Britain, as they thought logically in what the outcome would result in. Britain had all the strengths to win this war, the finances, best military, navy and soldiers, and larger amount of people. Patriots did not have the finances or a strong military to be able to have a chance to win the war. Loyalists also were making deciding to stay loyal because they did not agree with the Patriots. They were actually pleased with the way Parliament was

If you were a loyalist you were hated by the patriots. The patriots were people who wanted to gain independence from Britain. U.S.history.org states, "Patriots subjected loyalists to public humiliation and violence. Many loyalists found their property vandalized, looted, and burned." This shows that the colonists' who were loyalists had a tough life during the American Revolution. So, it wasn't a smart choice to become a loyalist during that time period.

Those who chose to stay with Britain, the Loyalists, did not consider unfair taxes and regulations good reasons for rebellion. Some loyalists lived in relative isolation and had not been part of the wave of discontent that turned many Americans against Britain. Others expected to win the war and wanted to regain favor with the Britain. The Patriots, on the other hand, were colonists who supported the war for independence. They believed that British rule had become unbearable. The Patriots were determined to fight the British until American independence won. Both were colonists control by British, want to regain there favor from British, and were considered unfair taxes. I would be a Patriot because I want to fight the British to regain our independence from Britain. So that we don't have to face rule that are unbearable and pay unfair

Even though it may not be Britain, we have formed alliances with many other countries. The relations may not all be good, but we have been involved with other countries. For example, in the photo “Monroe Doctrine” by Victor Gillam, the British are trying to get more land and money out of the U.S., but the U.S. doesn’t like it. America has the sign that says no trespass, and they have a gun ready to stop them, which shows that they didn't want anything to do with Great Britain in our country. We have had foreign relationships with Great Britain, but not good

By issuing the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the thirteen American colonies severed their connections with Great Britain. The Declaration summarized the colonists’ motivations for seeking independence. By declaring themselves an independent nation, the colonists were able to confirm an official alliance with the Government of France and obtain French assistance in the war against Great Britain. I argue for the independence of the colonies because I agree that it is unfair for them to be under British rule and pay for unfair taxes when they had their own political goals and motivations they wanted to accomplish.

By the end of it all the majority of people living in the colonies supported the Revolution. Initially it's difficult to think who would want to stay loyal to the British but now I realize that there would be several equally good reasons to not abandon them. There would have obviously been petty reasons like a rivalry between a family or maybe a company or a more legitimate reason like what community you lived in, and one other reason that determined what side you were on was because that's just who you were. If I had to label myself more a loyalist or more a Revolutionary I would say I’m more of a loyalist: now in circumstances like in the Revolution there was obviously a better side. The biggest group that did not support the Revolution

Americans did not origanally desire separation from Engalnd, only better treatment. There was lots of events leading uo to people wanting freedom from Engaland. I belive the colonist shift their favor to indemenptence becuasaue Engalnd was treating them badly. Documnet 1, Boston Massachuer, shows the Loyalost and the Patrioits fighting. The piuter proves that the Patriots wanted freedom from England. Because the patriots belive that the Loyalist have more weapons then them. And the Loyalist also have less people died, the Loyalist also look trained and have more members. This expalins that they wanted to break away because Engalnd is putting their tim and money down on the Loyaslit and not spilting it eqalu with the Patriots.This is a problem

Some would say that the colonist should break away from Great Britain. Some people don't want to break away from britain is because of the horror and misery britain will do to us.”Other inevitably conducting you to Anarchy, Misery, and all the Horrors of a Civil War.” That shows that if the colonist choose that way it will cause misery and war. The colonist are already in misery. “No man was a warmer wisher for a [peaceful settlement] than myself, before the fatal nineteenth of April, 1775.” Thats shows that the colonist are in the world of misery with no peace. So they should break away from Great

My fellow friends and Loyalists, we have been betrayed by our own. Patriots are what they call themselves. They do not believe in our king anymore. The king has supported us and fought for us and in return they cause a rebellion. King George once said, “A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me,“ and he is beyond correct. Anyone who sides beside them are committing treason and ought to be penalized. We shall stay with Britain because we are stronger than the Patriots, trade is successful, and the economy is sustainable.
