had to follow but also feeling that they were getting stepped on. They would start protesting and wanted to be free from rules and taxes that the British had against them. The British didn’t think that the civilians had the right to be free from any act or rules they had. One afternoon a British soldier was guarding The Boston Customs House, When a civilian throws a…

The root causes for the American Revolution was when Great Britain started to place Acts such as the Sugar Act of 1764, The Revenue Act of 1764, and the Stamp Act of 1765 to enforce higher taxes and/or fines to make the colonists help pay for the own debt due to the Seven Years’ War. The Sugar Act of 1764 was to lower taxes on molasses imported in North America from the French West Indies. On the other hand it was established to end widespread of smuggling by the colonial merchant but due to…

others and learn to understand how we interact with the world. In my opinion I feel that the people that we place our trust in take advantage of us. However, there are mystical and religious beings that we believe in. In Charles Bazerman’s text “Speech Acts, Genres, and Activity Systems: How Texts Organize Activity and People.” he defines discourse community as a close or loose knit group of people who have the same interests or beliefs (Bazerman). In the church that I partake in follows a god…

on tea, that is, taxation without representation and the perceived East India Company’s monopoly. The Townshend Acts passed in 1767 by Parliament imposed duties on various imported products but they raised a big storm of non-compliance and colonial protest. The Boston merchants evaded the act by continuing to import tea illegally brought in by Dutch traders. Parliament passed a Tea Act in 1773 aimed to help the financially challenged East India Company.

American Indian territory for the time being. The colonists rebelled against Great Britain because they felt their rights were being violated. The Sugar Act took place in 1764. The Sugar Act lowered the tax on molasses in hopes to decrease smuggling. The colonist thought that this act violated their right to tax themselves. As a result of the Sugar Act in 1764 the colonists began to openly protest the British Parliament's intervention in colonial affairs. The colonists were rigid…

These protests against such policies were both positive and negative towards the treatment of the colonists, take for example the enforcement of the Intolerable Act which was a rule set in part due to the Boston Tea Party event and resulted in the total shutdown of the Boston seaports. Socially, the colonists were united by their dislike towards the British Crown and their suppressive rules. In addition to the…

largely untouched by the war. The Sugar Act and the Stamp Act helped pay for war debt, the Passage of Proclamation 1763 prevented movement across the Appalachians, which presented a problem, and the Albany Plan of Union which was used to centralize a government. All of these were important aspects of the French and Indian War. The French and Indian War was a major victory for the British, but left them in so much debt that they passed these acts. The Sugar Act was a British Law passed by…

The Stamp Act was an act imposed by Great Britain to demand tax on the British America colonists. The British need the tax to pay for their troops. But the colonists felt upset about the Stamp Act mainly because they considered it a violation without their consent; and it threatened their liberty. The Stamp Act was a burden for all of the British America colonists. All the British America colonists felt that they do not need to follow their country anymore, and it is time to fight for…

“Innocent Until Proven Guilty” In The Crucible, Judge Danforth may have accidentally convicted an innocent person for a crime with which they were not involved. Even though Danforth may have done this, he should be considered innocent because of the false accusations the people made him believe. Considering there was a lot of false accusations and misconceptions, he should not be thought of as a false accuser; he may have gotten confused with all of the information that was being presented…

disobedience has changed us as a society for the greater good. Irish author Wilde claimed, “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress is made…” Wilde’s claim is valid because acts of disobedience such as the American Revolution, the Women’s Suffrage Movement, and the Civil Rights movement changed society for the better. First of all, an example of disobedience is the American Revolution. During the late 1700’s of…
