As Great Britain became powerful, it expanded its power across the Atlantic Ocean to North America, where it had established colonies. Great Britain used very risky techniques that caused disaster across the Atlantic Ocean to its colonies and eventually leading to an American Revolution. The Americans had legitimate reasons for the rebellion against Great Britain due to high rate of taxes and treatment received from the Great Britain government. At the end of The French and Indian War, which was…

Americas. The British colonist helped Great Britain fight towards their victory. The war left Great Britain in a monstrous debt. Great Britain could not handle the amount of debt racked up by the war, so it was passed onto the colonists through taxes. Native people in Britain only thought it was fair for the colonists to have taxes because they were part of the British Empire. Some of the tax acts that were put into place were the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act. The Sugar Act was put into place as…

own taxes and ruled themselves practically. Britain made money from all of the trade flowing through itself because of all of the colonies it had. This system worked out very well until a war started in the colonies against the colonies of France. The French and Indian War caused the British to have debts that they had to pay off, and since it was fought partially in the American colonies, the colonies needed to help pay for some of the war debts. Parliament established some taxes on the…

This famous ‘party’ was on December 16, 1773, when a group of Patriot colonists destroyed several amounts of tea in Boston, Massachusetts. The colonists partook in this action because Parliament had passed the “Tea Act” which allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonies, saving the company…

Great Britain sent people over to what is now known as America, and those people started the thirteen colonies. While the thirteen colonies were controlled by the British, the Americans were unethically treated and didn’t have much say about what happened in parliament. This unfair treatment includes the taxation of Americans, there lack of representation in parliament, they also didn’t get to choose their role in wars. The Americans wanted self-government from the crown because they were…

Who likes unjust taxation and financial restraint? Do you? I know myself, as a Daughter of Liberty, am appalled by these events. We are working to fight against the imposters of the taxation and restraint, you guessed it, Great Britain itself! If we do not rise to the fight, what makes you think these outrageous laws and financial curtailments won’t continue as long as we live? Join the Sons and Daughters of Liberty in our fight for American independence, or live a lifetime of taxes piling up at…

The British were in great debt and didn’t have the money to send troops over to protect the colonists that wanted to settle in…
