America Rebellion Thesis

The revolution of America was possibly one of the most influential events in the last 300 years, sparking the start of the nation today and the jurisdiction of the world, all from the fires of revolution, but is the beginning of America truly an occasion we should be so proud of? Or was the beginning of america just a last ditched effort for the rich to gain complete control and merely say it was for the good of the whole nation? this topic arose because recently there has been too much ignorance apparent to the beginning of our nation. To understand what I mean, we are going to have to take a look at who exactly prioritized america from start to beginning and to do that we have to understand the position of the early colonies while comparing

Since there weren’t any more indentured servants, the rich white land owning men needed a new and more efficient labor force. One that you weren’t required to release ever to prevent another rebellion, so the colonies looked towards africa and their coastal slavery deals where they could the buy lives of africans. Unlike what many people think, these were in fact purchases and were in fact from other africans who captured these people not because of their ethnicity, obviously, but because they were the enemy. The thought that blacks were inferior came mostly because of the difference in their religion and culture (which is the basis of every occurrence of slavery) as well as being servants to rich white landowning men. This later on lead to the thought that black skin was inferior. From this evidence, it was the great and noble american colonists(rich white landowning men) who enslaved the african people and caused them pain for generations to come in the colonies and america. Contrary to the continental congress’ apparent belief that “all men are equal”.At this point, one can make the argument that at the time africans and later black americans were not considered humans, but not even that

A majority of the of the declaration of independence, a document that we all know and are told to love, is pretty easy to discern as being written as propaganda for motivating more than 2/3rds of the colonists(or non rich white landowning men) to act nicely than a breakup letter to the crown. Some pretty blatant examples would be the fact that on july 4th, it was released and printed up and down all 13 colonies while i’m guessing only one would be needed to tell the king what his subjects (the rich white land owning owns) thought of him. Now ,at this time I would like to clarify that I do not believe that the king has done nothing to make the colonists mad and in the boston tea party 's case, not just the rich white land owning male ones. In short, this event took place because of taxes due to the french and indian war. Contrary to what some believe as the king trying to force the colonists to buy tea, it was a simple port tax that, like the extra bit of money you have to pay when you buy any government taxed item today. This was still a bit unfair to the colonists because the colonies were not represented in parliament (at the time). This reason for “taxation without representation” would be understandable, if after the revolutionary war only the white rich landowning men weren’t the only people allowed to vote and the tax be
