The War Of Great Britain

Before the Revolutionary War, the tensions between the colonists and King George of Great Britain were “very high”. The colonists were unhappy over the unfair treatment they were receiving from Britain. They were angry with the taxes and laws that King George had imposed upon them. Despite the taxes being for the French and Indian War, which Britain had fought to keep the colonists safe, they still were angered that they had to pay them. The colonists were unfairly taxed without representation and had a legitimate reason to be angry with King George and Great Britain. The only solution that seemed possible was war, so the colonists decided to declare war. The American colonists were justified for breaking away from the British because they were unfairly taxed and were treated unfairly by the British.

There are many reasons why the british and the colonies had so much tension between them. Three events that helped build the tensions between the Colonists and the British were, the British and how controlling they were. The Boston Massacre and how that came around. Last but not least the war of 1812 were the US finally declared war against Britain.These events all come together to show the issues between the Colonists and the British. Even though there are a lot more reasons behind these three were the one that stuck out the most.

During the war, the colonists who were fighting, began to realize just how much they were deprived. The colonists observed how much more the British possessed and wanted the same since they were still Englishmen (Doc D). The English officials that came to lead in the colonies were not the most pleasant to work with and also were not superior listeners. The officers ignored what the colonists said, even if it was a colonial military leader. The colonial soldiers were seen as weak and inferior and were not respected by the officers. After the war, the taxes the colonists had to pay, also created new opinions in their minds (Doc G). Colonists began considering more about becoming separate from England and governing their own government. Revolutionaries propagated their ideas of disbanding as well. These theories created unity in the colonies but weakened the link between England and various colonists.

Since they didn’t have the resources to keep fighting, they had to surrender and sign the Proclamation of 1763. This contract ordered the colonists out of the frontier, but many colonists didn’t follow this order. Many colonists did not follow this order because there was too much profit to be made, not to mention, it is hard to govern colonies from an entire ocean. The king was furious with them for disobeying and violating the contract. Great Britain put a tax on sugar. They did that so the colonies would raise money for them to protect the colonies from Native Americans. This was called the Sugar Act. The colonists were upset about this act because they believe they did not start the war with the French and Indians. They felt like they had no part in Parliament. As a result, Samuel Adams founded the Committees of Correspondence to improve communication among the colonies in the disagreement with England. There was a lot of conflict with this act the conflict will continue on through the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was all about taxing paper items. It taxed licenses, newspapers, and colonial paper products. The colonists thought this was a really unfair act being passed. This act caused a series of resolutions to be published. The series of resolutions stated that the act violated the rights of the colonists. The Stamp Act was later on repealed by Parliament in 1766. After this act was repealed,

This was mainly due to the colonies' refusal to live and obey British rule. The colonists sole purpose for immigrated to America was escape the British rule. Although the American Revolution began in 1775, there were various events that lead to the war's conception. Some these events were the Stamp Act which required printed materials such a newspapers to be printed on British produced paper. The Townshend acts which were a series of acts passed by Great Britain that taxed the colonies. The Boston Massacre which resulted in 5 colonists being killed after an angry confrontation with British soldiers. The Boston Tea Party which was where the colonists dressed up as American Indian and dumped British produced tea into the harbor. This was in response to the Tea act that monopolized the tea trade within America. All these events helped to spark America's rebellious nature and fight got their independence in the American Revolution

During the tense times before the revolution the colonies were fed up with the monarchy of England. Many colonists were thinking of ways for the colonies to branch off and govern themselves. During the time before July 4th, 1776 the colonists were treated poorly by the english rule. England collected unfair taxes and took the many resources from the colonists. The people wanted more

The colonists believed that the British should not be allowed to tax them without their consent. Colonists did everything in their power to stop the taxation on British goods. By the colonists beginning this feud it caused many acts, over 18 acts had happened. Colonists could have listen to the rules that were placed or just not purchase the goods. During the feud they stop buying goods and made homemade products. Colonists could have continued it rather then starting a bad relationship with the British government and merchants. This shows that the colonists didn’t have any respect for the British government and that the colonists pushed their rights. Colonists started to begin something that would harm and ruin lives of

The flare-up of the American Revolution build tensions among the new colonies and British authorities. From British Parliament placing taxes to colonies dumping tea into the ocean, two sides break apart from their justification of their actions. Due to the taxation of the colonies and act of tyranny from the king, the American colonists justified in waging war with Britain and becoming independent.

This led to a wide range of issues that continued to add fuel to the fire of American colonist's rage toward Britain. One of the main issues that the American people were going through was having to pay an unfair amount of taxes to the king of Great Britain. Britain needed money to pay for its war debts. So, The King and Parliament came up with the idea to tax colonists. They believed that they had the right to tax the colonies. So, they decided to require several kinds of taxes from the colonists in order to help pay for the French and Indian War. When colonists began to realize that they were being singled out and Britain was just using them for their own benefit, they were angered and rightly so. There came a point when Colonists began to lose more and more money, money that they really needed and they became fed up. Not only was Britain using their money for their own benefit, but now colonists were losing quite a bit of money. And so the resistance began. This quickly became a huge issue. "Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes,because they were passed in England by Parliament. So, the colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods."

Tensions had been buliding up for many years with the colonists and the Britsh. The Britsh had enough and on the night of April 18. 1775 the Britsh went to Concord and Paul Revere alerted the cononists and then the Britsh were under fire. The cononsits were mad because Great Britan would tax them. The colonsits wouldnt pay for tea that was dumped overboard so King George III closed down the city’s harbor. This led to conflict between the the Britsh and conlonsits. Great Britan was mad because colonsits wouldnt pay taxes and the cononists were mad because they were getting taxed. The cononists were not scared of the strongest army (Great Britan) and did not back out.

While problems between Great Britain and her North American colonies had always existed, it was not until after the Seven Year War that things started to get personal. At the time, Britain had incurred a large debt, courtesy of the seven year war. Most of this debt had been created defending the North American colonies, so Britain searched for ways to get the colonies to pay them back. Thus, laws like the Stamp Act, were created to regain money by means of taxes. Colonists believed the laws infringed on their rights, and a major economic conflict between Great Britain and the colonies was born. But economic conflicts were not the only problem between the two, they also struggled politically and socially. All the same, because of all their differences the Revolutionary War

In the late 1700s, many conflicts happend between britian, and patriots who were agianst britian and wanted independence. Starting off with the 1st one, The Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation of 1763 was a dispute between King George III and colonist who wanted more land to settle on. Conflict broke out and This started a battle called the seven year war or, the french and indian war. This was a long bloody battle and after the dust settled, The colonist still didn´t recieve what they wanted. King George III now had forbidden them from setteling along the appalchian lines. This sent the colonist into a revolutionary outrage and then began all of thier rebellious behavior.

About a decade before the American Revolution happened in 1775, there were lots of tension building up between the colonists and the British. The colonists did not like being under British rule and control because they liked freedom and wanted independence. However, the British government attempted to raise tax revenues by imposing more taxes on the colonists to pay for the leftover debts from the Indian-French War. Some of the laws passed include the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Tariffs of 1767, and the Tea Act of 1773. Some events that escalated the tension include the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, etc. The colonists were justified in rebelling against Britain.

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. In the 1760s, shortly after the conclusion of the french and indian war, the british parliament passed a series of laws and taxes on the american colonies.They created unfair laws and taxes on the british.The colonist disagreed with great britain on the fairness of these laws and taxes which led to conflict between the two sides.Eventually, this erupted into the American Revolution.(doc 1) The american colonies wanted to make there own decisions and have their independence.But the british wanted to rule and make laws and taxes for the american colonies also to punish the americans for their wrong doings.The american colonies do organized protest in spite of these laws and actions.Patrick henry responds to the stamp act patrick says in one of his speeches king George is a tyrant he breaks rules he is a threat to his own people.When Patrick Henry puts that in his speech it really lets you know that what they were doing was wrong and for king George to be leading it makes it even worst because he knows what he is doing and did not really care alongs as the british colonies were getting money for the debt they were in after the French and Indian war.

Source E is a secondary interpretation on the idea of 'Total War' in Britain from the book 'The Making of Modern Britain' written and published by Andrew Marr in 2009. Marr talks about how civilians were impacted throughout both wars, but argues that WW2 was more of a total war than WW1 was as "the entire economy was mobilized". This source is secondary. Andrew Marr was born in 1959, meaning that he was not alive during any of these World Wars. This would mean that he would not have been there and so he cannot truly know what it was like. However, due to the advancement of technology, he had a larger access to a number of resources that were not available at the time. This source does not directly link to any civilian impacts, but Marr briefly comments on several impacts that did occur
