Pros And Cons Of The Revolutionary Revolution

When the Patriots revolted against our mother country’s rule, they were in the wrong. Great Britain had supported our small, disorganized colonies through all our hardships and was our dear mother country. Our past lives and roots are in British soil, and to disobey the place of our roots is to completely disregard everything the British did for us, like protect us during the French and Indian War. Great Britain has protected us from hardships in our new land and has supported our endeavors since the beginning. We should not be rebelling against the country that has supplied us, and continues to supply us, with the things we’ve needed to expand the empire; we should not violently break away from our mother country, but instead protest these …show more content…

Now that the colonies have been established in America and are Britain’s primary source for raw materials, the Patriots demand Parliament to be modified so that the colonies have a separate house in the government to represent them. The common people (including the colonists who are neither royalty nor nobles) are already represented in Parliament. To make a separate house for another class of common people would throw Parliament out of balance and would take the elected colonists out of the colonies to be able to work in Parliament—it just doesn’t work out. The Patriots also like to believe that the colonies are being overtaxed, but they aren’t looking closely into Parliament’s reasons for creating these “Intolerable Acts” was to more evenly spread out taxes for the British Empire so that everybody would be able to pay taxes, and pay less for goods with a tax on them. The Patriots’ reasons for revolution are biased and twisted to cast Britain in a false light, so the revolution, which is based on these
