In response to the rise of rebellion PowerPoint, I learned about the succession the northern and southern states were having. It seemed as if everything was how it was supposed to be; Until new laws were added to the colonists in order for Britain to succeed along with them. Some issues I believe that influenced the American independence moment in the 1770’s were the navigation acts, the wool, hat and iron acts. These acts disturbed the rate of succession for certain individual’s such as craftsmen, artisans and farmers which led to a world without freedom. Being told how to make your goods and where to sell them is being monopolized by the England. It is something that the colonists found out rather quickly to be injustice. Northern economies were thriving with wheat production, they were trading overseas. Cities started to rise such as Pennsylvania, Boston, and Connecticut. Craftsmen and artisans were part of this growth too. While the wheat production increased Tabaco and iron started to rise as well. Around the 1750’s the third leading export was iron. Then was wheat and timber it had passed the Tabaco and fur. Even though this had happened it still meant farmers, artisans and craftsmen were prospering. The southern economies weren’t …show more content…

After the navigation acts were put into place, parliament waited a couple years to add three acts; The wool act of 1699, the hat act of 1732 and the iron act of 1750. These acts prevented colonists from finishing any type of raw material. These acts served as an additional flame to what was already a fire of how angry the colonists were. I describe these issues like a father and a son visual. England being a father to the colonists expressing that they want what is best for them to succeed; Although the son, the colonists just wants their freedom and values to be

Were the Colonists Justified in Declaring Their Independence from England ? Justification was deserved much more than rejection. As you may know, the British was in full charge of the colonists before their independance. The American Revolution was an action which was definitely well thought out and took lots of dedication and bravery.

The northern colonies for example exported fish for economic revenue while the southern colonies however had an economic advantage in agriculture. Their fertile soils and warm environment allowed for production of crops such as tobacco in the upper southern regions and rice in the lower regions. There was plenty of land to farm and a high demand for workers, which ultimately led to a “land rich, but labor poor” society.

The North’s demand for manufactured goods played a huge role in the increased production because people from the North were very rich and could purchase these products. Furthermore, as stated by the Economic Growth of the United States, the demand for cotton from foreign countries, like Britain increased by 11.8% because of all the cotton exports that America made.

Daniel Rasmussen's, American Uprising: The Untold Story of America's Largest Slave Revolt, presents a record analyzing just how slaves themselves brought about an end to slavery. In a time prior to the Civil War, and decades before Nat Turner would lead on a slave revolt, several hundred slaves gathered weapons, dressed in uniform, and garnered any recruits along the way who would join them to rise up against their masters, burned down the plantations where they were held and march on to the city of New Orleans in defiance. Although their revolt was eventually stopped, it remains one among many actions taken up that led to the end of slavery in America.

Although some of the acts were ignored and violated the acts were a major source of irritation to the colonists. The most violated acts were the Act of 1651, the Molasses Act (1733), and the Iron Act (1750). The Act of 1651 was intended to completely cut off the colonies trade with the Dutch, and it stated that all goods must be carried on ships owned by the English or the colonial merchants, brought directly to England and taxed before being exported to the other European countries. The colonists were mainly upset with this act because it took longer to get good, and once they arrived they were largely more expensive and some products could even go bad in the time it took to

When looking at the social and political changes that took place during the early American colonies you can see a steady progression towards ideologies that would lead to the Revolution. When you have different levels of government being put in place by the states depending upon their needs, where rural areas had different court systems than more urban areas, you see a level of independence for governance that the colonists began to see the benefit of having, separate from the rule of the Crown. To counter this increase in independence. the Crown implemented ever changing political positions that could be assigned to those who were loyal to the Crown and the social hierarchy that was prevalent in Britain at the time. These actions of corruption

The Sodastream video failed because it was predictable, it overtly endorsed the brand, and was ineffective in its critique of the way most videos go viral. It was also ineffective in advertising the brand as an underdog when calling out the big names (Coke and Pepsi). The easiest way to analyse the pitfalls of this ad is to compare it against a similar product competing in the same channel with a comparable ad but an entirely different level of success: Smartwater. First of all, Smartwater was sly in endorsing their brand and creative in the way they critiqued what is popular and trending in the realm of viral marketing.

We see the contradictions arise for the South beginning in 1764 with the passage of the Sugar Act and the effective end of England’s salutary neglect on its colonies. By this time, the colonies had already established their own forms of government which were run by ‘the people’ (as evidenced by the Mayflower Compact and House of Burgesses) and had grown content governing themselves with little to no interference from mother England. So, when she did try to finally exert authority over the colonies it was met with resistance. In resisting England’s attempts to regain control over its colonies, the colonies found that if they worked together, they could stand up to England and even win, as evidenced by the non-importation movement in 1764 and parliaments revision of the Grenville Acts as a response to the colonists united boycott. This unity would continue all the way through to the American Revolution.8
