The colonists had one interest. They wanted to be treated fairly. However, they believed the new laws were unfair, so they took action. The colonists resisted and wanted to be free because they thought the British weren’t treating them the way they should be treated.
The colonist believed that they were still British citizens, although living in North America, and should be given the same rights of a citizen in Great Britain. The insufficient amount of representation in the parliament, rebellion began against the British Empire, and the loyalty of the colonist began to
The taxes the colonies had to pay agreed the colonies, so they decided to surround the british. British soldiers didn 't understand what was happening and panicked and they fired at the crowed of colonies surrounding them. They ended up killing five of the colonies. One of the colonies that died was Crispus Attucks. He was a runaway slave He died defending the colonies this event helped start rebellion in the colonies.
The colonists were mistreated from the start the British forced them to pay their war debts basically and controlled them harshly this caused the colonists to rise up and take back power. These events eventually led to the American Revolution and colonists
During the mid-1700’s after “Seven Years War”, the British became submerged under a massive debt from fighting in one of the empire’s most expensive war. To absorb the impact of the war debt, Prime Minister of England George Grenville, shifted part of the war debt to Britain’s colonies. Throughout the mid-1700’s Britain imposed intolerable acts upon the colonies such as the sugar act, stamp act, tea act, coercive acts, so on and so forth. Though the colonies trying to fight for representation so taxes can be passed with a majority’s approval instead of members of parliament making colonists decisions, never declared a full on war with the mother country or even wanted to separate in the first place.
The colonists refused to submit to a king that was only interested in their money, causing the colonists to become irate with the British once more. Since Great Britain thought that it was superior to the colonies, Great Britain did not give colonists the opportunity to speak up for what they wanted, which lead the colonists to rebel. The arrogance of Great Britain led to the rebellion of the colonists, which sparked the Revolutionary War through social, economic, and political actions. Furthermore, Great Britain caused a tremendous amount of irritation to develop inside of the colonists. The Revolutionary War showed that it is a necessity for Americans to have their opinions voiced.
American Revolutions: Chapter 3 Distillation In Chapter 3 of American Revolutions: A Continental History, 1750 – 1804, entitled “Slaves”, Alan Taylor describes an America dependent upon British rule while struggling with its own identity and concepts of freedom. The Colonists, angered by burdensome British taxation, initially bristle at the thought of independence from the Crown; it is only after continued subjugation to their oppressive Tax Acts that they grow despondent and rebellious and envision the possibility of self-governance. Britain mocks the irony of the Sons of Liberty decrying their enslavement while enslaving others, further highlighting the incongruity of their plight. The divide deepens between rulers and ruled.
The conflicts between the British and the colonists slowly started colonial rebellion. When the British colonized America and brought people to establish colonies, the colonists were in peace with Britain. Later on, the colonists started to dislike Britain because the British imposed taxes on them and also put harsh orders, or acts, on them. These taxes and acts caused anger in the American colonies. The anger drove colonists to rebellion and then slowly began the revolution of America and a new era of freedom.
After reading Mother Tongue by Amy Tan, what stood out to me the most was how Amy would always do her best to help her mother. From making a phone call and speaking to health professionals, she did the best she could to help her mother get out of uncomfortable and frustrating situations. This was a personal essay because Amy Tan used a personal experience involving her life and her mother's life. Tan used ethos, logos, and pathos in her essay. She used ethos because she was identifying herself to the reader.
In document D Byles states,” They call me a brainless Tory; but tell me, my young friend, which is better, to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away, or by three thousand tyrants not a mile away” This shows that some colonists still considered themselves as English, and were against independence. Document F also supports this claim,” We [saw] a Set of men… under the Auspices of the english Government; & protected by it… but we [saw] them also run mad with too much Happiness & burst into an open rebellion…” As you can see many colonists called for rebellion but unity was never one hundred percent throughout the colonies, some were patriots while others remained loyal to the crown. Many revolutions are caused to a buildup of mistrust, exploitation and an unjust government, the American Revolution was an example of this. Once the revolution began there was no stopping it. Document E states, “the arms we have been compelled by our enemies to assume, we will… being with one mind resolved to die freemen, rather than live [like] slaves.”
The influence of the enlightenment on the American Revolution In 1607, Great Britain established their first colony on today’s Virginia. Great Britain continuously increased number of North America colonies; in 1754, number of colonies was as much as 13. To increase number of colonies, Great Britain fought numerous wars, won most of the wars and became one of the most powerful nations in the world at that time. How dare only 13 colonies could stand up to unfair treatment and various kinds of taxes payment?
During the late 1770’s people started to rebell against other people and their ideas on certain things. Rebellion is an act to overthrow something, and it can lead to wars, death and possibly even the fall of an empire like the French. The French had 7 government styles. Monarchy, limited republic, republic, dictatorship, etc.
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
History has shown that rebellion can be both good and bad. Rebellion can be done as a society or as an individual. In many cases throughout history, rebellion has been not only morally acceptable, but necessary for the greater good. One of history’s most well-known arguments for the necessity of rebellion is the Declaration of Independence of the United States. When the 13 colonies were being oppressed by British rule, the men who would become known as the founding fathers adopted the Declaration, which states that they are rebelling against British rule and gives a detailed argument for why this is necessary.
On the whole, in the 1641 rebellion, the violence and awareness of the rebels were inextricably intertwined with a mix of factors consisting a religion and an
