The Unjust American Freedom

Flags burning under raining bombs, gunshots echoing through a field of raining terror, while hiding underground for the day where humanity can roam free again; situations as so aren’t exactly what people imagine when thinking about one’s future. Every death was honored by those who lived; lives lost during wars of any kind are unlike lives lost in our country today, not for the value of those once living are greater than another, but from how much those lives mean to this day. Establishment and preservation of freedom wasn’t easy and will never be easy; many people served until their last breath, for the freedoms of our lives today. That is why we must continue to grasp for freedom, and to establish and preserve our freedom most effectively we must have the heart to be free, and have united dedication to freedom itself.

1763 marked the end of French and Indian war and caused a great celebration and pride in the American colonies. But, in next twelve years, the same pride was altered by at bitter and violent conflict with the mother country. The injustices of the mother country finally led the American colonists to declare independence and wage war against it. American colonies were justified for waging war and breaking away from Britain because they were defending themselves against a series of measures Parliament wished to impose on their communities without their consent.

The American Revolution was justified because the colonists were not being treaty fairy and equally by the British. And according to Jefferson, “people being oppressed have a moral obligation to rebel against their oppressors”. From the beginning, the colonists were not given the full rights as British men, just because they were not living in that country. The Navigation Acts passed by the Parliament to restrict colonial trade, and all of colonial trade with Europe had to go through England, overall they wanted to keep colonies in a position of economic dependency on Britain. And that was a serious damage in the colonial economies and people’s aspirations, it makes many colonists unhappy and smuggle goods to other country. And British

Massacres in the streets, abuse from English Parliament, and acts oppressing colonists; All of these were evident in events leading up to the American Revolution. The Revolutionary War was a display of colonist patriotism, and the reason for American independence today. Leading up to it, Britain tightened their hold on the colonies by restricting them and passing unfair laws and taxes. The American Revolution began after the colonists sent the Declaration of Independence to King George III in July, 1775, in which the colonies claimed independence from Britain. After the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, General Charles Cornwallis of the British army surrendered to the colonists, and they had officially gained independence. Though, were the colonists right to wage war and gain independence from Britain? Yes, they were justified in revolting against England because the acts were unfair, the British occupation in colonists territory, and the violation of rights taking place.

In contrast to the non-violent Indian revolution the American Revolution was a violent struggle for independence from Britain. The British victory in the French and Indian War left Britain’s resources stretched thin due to the fact that its land holding had increased in size. The war was also expensive and drained the British coffers. In order to remedy this problem American colonist were forced to

The Americans started a massive revolt against the British for colonial freedom. The American revolution started in April 1775. The first battle was Lexington and Concord. It was known as the shot heard around the world. Though it is unknown who fired the first shot, it started the war.

After the French and Indian War, there was a period of change in the British colonies in North America. After receiving much support from the British during the French and Indian War, the people of the colonies began to feel oppressed by the postwar actions of the British. As the British put heavy taxes and restrictions on the colonies, the attitude of the population of these colonies began to shift. Over the next two decades, with more taxes and a larger British military presence, the colonists slowly progressed closer and closer to revolution. The people of the American colonies were justified in eventually taking up arms against the British crown after various attempts to reach a peaceful resolution of their grievances because several pieces

War, blood, anger, hate, peace, independence, tax, massacre, pioneering, and confusion are all words that can be used to describe the American Revolution. A time where we were most vulnerable to the British. A time where America was once one of the lower nations in the world. Infact, we were not even a nation yet. We were a group of people fighting oppression that had been cast upon us by the British. We were the underdogs, and we should not have ever had to get into a war, but we did. We got into war to protect the values and beliefs that we held dear. America got into war to show the British that they can not use them like property. More importantly, to stop the endless taxation. A taxation that was very clearly stated in the Declaration

From 1754-63, America and Britain fought side by side in the colonies. The French and Indian War made the colonies rethink their allegiance to Britain and fostered the idea of independence in the colonies. Firstly, British soldiers made American soldiers feel inferior. Then a multitude of proclamations, laws, and rules, were passed that negatively impacted the colonies without their input. These actions led the colonies to band together and nurtured a spirit of independence in the British colonies in America.

The French and Indian War, fought between 1754 and 1763, is arguably the beginning of the road to American independence. Before 1754 the British controlled thier colonies through a system called salutary neglect, where Britain controlled the colonies but did not govern them strictly. During the war the colonists didn’t want to help the British forces, nor help pay off war debts. Instances such as Shays’ Rebellion called for more British protection and therefore more debts, all of which made the British outrageous. After the French and Indian War the British ended salutary neglect, tightening control on their North American colonies.

Have you ever been so enraged at someone or something that you just needed to get away? That is exactly how the colonists felt under the rule of the British government. The colonists were angered from all of the taxes and other acts the British parliament had placed on the colonies after the French and Indian War. But the worst part is, that they had no representation in the parliament, and they were ready to fight it. So, were the American colonists justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain?

Considering economic policies and the balance of power between national and local government, how did Whigs and Democrats differ in their definitions of American freedom and its relationship to government authority?

The purpose of this research paper is to do more than simply provide an accounting of the events of the American Revolution. Instead, I will provide a detail of how the French and Indian War impacted the revolution, and missteps by the British Empire led to the American fight for freedom. In doing so, you will come to understand how the American fight for independence would be a call to arms for not only colonists, but also for other territories controlled by monarchs the world over.

The French and Indian War was a big factor in setting the stage for the American Revolution. The war required large amounts of resources and money which put a huge strain on Great Britain. As a result of the large amounts of money the war had cost, Great Britain heavily raised the taxes on the colonist in America. This was the main provoking factor in America's fight for independence that would leave a lasting impression on the world

The irregular and disorganized British rule of the American colonies in the previous years led to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Most Americans did not originally want to separate from mother England. They wanted to stay loyal to the crown. England’s unwillingness to compromise, mismanagement of the colonies, heavy taxation of the colonists that violated their rights, the distractions of foreign affairs and politics in England and the strict trading policies that England tried to enforce together made the revolution inevitable. The British were definitely expected to win the dispute because they significantly over powered the Colonists in most areas. They had more money, weapons, people, etc. However the American’s prevailed with
