Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain

economic views resulting in the colonists wanting independence from Great Britain. Many colonies felt there was inequality between the colonies in America and Great Britain. While those in Great Britain had better access to goods and resources, the colonies in America had to give goods sent to them. However, the colonies had to deal with declaratory acts, the intolerable acts, sugar act, the proclamation and taxation (Norton, 2015). Britain changed its policies…

Great Britain, the Motherland, the power, the Monarchy! Great Britain controls all of the thirteen colonies, but how do they control them? Think, think about how you're being treated, is it fair? Are you even a fellow citizen to the British? Great Britain has taken too much control of our colonies and is not helping us in any way. In fact, Britain is stripping us of our freedom and justice in these many ways: emitting excessive taxes on goods, using the Church to gain loyalty, quartering of…

the Tea Act that the British Parliament had passed without colonial say or representation; the Americans felt voiceless and felt as they were not well-represented and their opinions, not at all well voiced. Upset and defiant, the Boston merchants were able to find a way to evade the Acts limiting their freedom by creating an illegal smuggled tea trade with the neighboring Dutch; however, this evasion was blocked off and no longer a viable option after Parliament yet again, passed the Tea Act…

independence from Great Britain; or the American Revolution. Both England and France were trying to stake claim to the land between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River. When Washington and his men crossed into the territory the French took them captive and this was only the beginning. Retaliations from both sides continued between the two. Eventually the conflict in America would ignite a war in Europe that would include Prussia, Spain and Austria as well. Great Britain ultimately won the…

On April 5, 1764, British Parliament pass a new tax, which took place of the Sugar and Molasses Act (1733). This act caused taxes on imports of sugar, coffee, and other goods entering the ports of the American colonies and was created and designed by England to raise funds to recover the French and Indian War damage. This meant that all colonial merchants were required to pay a tax of six percent of a total gallon to import foreign molasses. It started by, getting harder to load and unload cargo…

government committed several acts that exemplified its failure in fulfilling its mission of securing the unalienable rights including taxation without representation, Boston Massacre, and the Intolerable Acts. As a result of Britain’s failure to protect the colonists’ political freedoms, economic wellbeing, and safety, it is the duty of the colonists to declare independence and fight as the British government failed to protect the colonists’ unalienable rights. Although Great Britain has a…

time of the American Revolution, individuals of the colonies were split into three categories: Patriots, Loyalists, and Neutrals. The Patriots supported liberty and freedom, whilst Loyalists believed that living under the statutes of the British Parliament were just. If I was present during the Revolution, I would have been a Patriot because I believe in the independence of nations. Having to live under certain decrees without any say is a demeaning way to live life. Based on the muse of the…

against Great Britain, a tyrannical super power. For me, I would love to be a part of such a movement and it is just around the corner. Some may look the other way during this revolution as they look to keep their place in power, but for those of you I say; the revolution is inevitable so when this is over, do you want to be known as the man who stood by as us middle class and supposed inferior in society became American heroes or do you want to become leaders of the nation that took down…
