right in an orderly and peaceful manner to assembly…” they made this so the people could “consult upon the common good… and to. redress of the wrongs done them...” from The Massacutes Bill of Rights, 1780. We put this in the Bill of rights because without the right we wouldn 't be able to come together as a nation and voice our concerns or come together and do good for our community.

French and Indian War Despite what its name claims, the French and Indian War was one of many conflict between Britain and France, specifically over the Ohio River Valley territory. From rich soil to quality trading grounds, the Ohio River Valley was sought out by many groups due to the abundance of benefits. The British and the colonists fought the French and the Native Americans for 7 years (thus, “The Seven Years’ War”). Although the French surrendered and the British gained the land in the…

and many other acts of rebellion in eighteenth century America are what paved the road to the revolution. It started with The Navigation Acts and went downhill from there. British Parliament was making unruly taxations against the colonist, even though the colonists had no form of representation. This lead to the revolutionary war, which was a true underdog story. In-between 1650 and 1696 British parliament decided to pass a series of acts that cut down and restricted most of colonial America’s…

The effects of the war, rather than improve relations between the colonies and their mother country, worsened them. The conclusion of the french and indian war strained british and colonial relations due to issues of land acquisition such as the proclamation of 1763 and the Quebec act, political changes…

The Founding Fathers, when they declared the independence of the Americas, were motivated by personal desires. In order to get the power over the colonies, they manipulated the colonist into believing that the British were to blame, and not the wealthy in America. The founding fathers did this to gain the power that Britain had over the colonies. Some historians however argue that the colonists liberties were violated and that subsequently lead to the colonist revolt. But as evidence shows, the…

ultimately caused the Revolutionary War. One of the most prevalent causes of the American Revolution was taxes. Britain taxed the colonists a lot and the colonists thought they had no reason to be taxed. One problem the colonists had was taxation without representation. The colonists were taxed by Britain, but they had no power whatsoever in the British parliament to decide what happened to themselves in the colonies. Another problem they had with the British was that they were taxed to pay…

colonists were justified in waging war against Great Britain. Firstly, one of the biggest complaints the colonists had was about being taxed unfairly. With such Acts as the Stamp Act and the Tea Act, the colonists became more and more upset with the taxation of everyday necessities. In document 2, an excerpt from Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania by John Dickinson, Dickinson explains his feelings about…

geographical location and foundation, they were free of the harsh rule. However, seeing the colonies as a source of additional income, Britain began to tax and use the abundance of vital resources and commodities located across the Atlantic. The set of taxation laws for example set against the colonists persuaded them to no longer continue with…

The inability to see the opposition’s side as their view is always right, often leads to combat even without realising. In Kate Grenville’s early Australian based novel, The Lieutenant this can be clearly displayed from the first confrontation between the British and the Gadigals. To insert dominance and superiority Weymark decided to take a shield “just…
