One major cause for the French and Indian War was the creation of the Albany Congress. The Iroquois Confederacy was a strong coalition of several Indian tribes. This made them a valuable asset towards the British as having them as an ally could result in an easier victory over the inevitable war against the French. This coupled along with issues over governance produced the assembly. Overall this assembly was a complete bust as Britain was scared the committee would overpower the royal…

Becoming America Have you ever had a thought in your head that you felt like everyone should know yet find yourself preaching it on a daily basis? Have you ever seen people lose complete contact with each other trying to explain something that one would consider being common knowledge? Most would agree that usually these are petty fights that mean nothing at the end of the day. This is where the neutralist would stand by. In a world not so much different yet completely unlike the one we are…

By creating monopolies the British were able to reap all the profits that could be made from the colonies. British held their monopoly over the colonist by keeping them dependent on England. The British held their monopoly by already having a monopoly over finished goods. By excluding foreign competition they forced themselves to be the only supplier of retail finished…

Thomas Paine wanted to break free of British Rule because he said colonists don't have to remain true to Britain just because they are of British descent, Britain protected the colonies for their own benefit, and America would have flourished more without…

prompted drastic changes in policy by Britain with significant ramifications. It is important to note that colonists in support of Britain’s efforts to overcome the French in North America had appealed to raise armies or fight with the British Armies (The French and Indian War).

The Americans desire to revolt and declare themselves as an independent nation in 1776 was impacted by events such as the…

This shows up in Documents 4, 5, 6, and 7. The British colonized because of social forces. In Document 4, Cecil Rhodes said that “[the British] are the finest race in the world, and the more of the world [they] inhabit, the better it is for the human race” (Document 4). The British thought that they were the best and that it was their duty to colonize everyone else. They wanted to colonize people to make them more like the British. It also says that “more territory simply means more of the…

Declaration of Independence Report #1 Not only was the document that allowed colonists to be free from British rule, but it symbolizes one of the biggest events in American History.
