    The revolution in America gained momentum as Britain continued to pass new taxes and send more soldiers to the continent. The American people, along with their anger over the Appalachian Mountain boundary, did not enjoy these new taxes. Their protests and demonstrations were initially only in defiance to the new laws, but as their patience was continually tested, their thoughts turned towards independence. Although the idea of independence came about slowly, it is inaccurate to say that the colonists were "reluctant" in their efforts. George Robert Twelves Hewes is a perfect example of a colonist who was "excited with an inextinguishable desire to aid in chastising [the British]"(Young 55).…

    On March 5, 1770, a group of brave colonists gathered around a British Soldier at a local tax office. They hurled insults at the soldier, and with the confusion that ranged gunshots were heard; Five men were found wounded on the ground. Although the Boston Massacre seemed to be the colonists' fault since they started off by hurling insults, we must remember how the British Soldiers treated the colonists before. For example, the Quartering Act forced families to have open their homes to British Soldiers in order to shelter and feed them. Nevertheless, the news about the Boston Massacre spread quickly throughout the colonies.…

    Superficially, a Society with Slaves and Slave Society appear to be near synonyms. However, through careful observation of the features and mechanisms of each structure, a clear distinction can be drawn. The earliest examples of Slave Societies in Colonial America are found in Virginia, which specialized almost entirely in tobacco production throughout the 18th century. Fundamentally, tobacco was the epitome of a cash crop - it was grown primarily for export, often on very large plantations that demanded an abundance of field labor. In Slave Societies, many enslaved people would often live together in close quarters, under a system where slaveowners possessed complete legal control over their laborers, while slaves held no rights at all.…

The French and Indian war put Britain into staggering debt. In order to gain money, the British began to levy taxes on the colonies. The colonists objected, and this gradually led to America’s independence.…

    The American colonists experienced much turbulence in their journey to fight for the ultimate cause that shaped our country. In 1774, the Intolerable Acts were passed which would act as a prelude to the American Revolution. The Coercive Acts also known as Intolerable Acts were an unfair set of different acts placed upon the colonists resulting in popularization of the idea concerning self-government and unalienable rights held by each human. The Intolerable Acts, were several different acts that punished the colonists after The Boston Tea Party incident. After the acts were passed the colonists responded by uniting, “raising money, sending supplies, and [continuing to boycott], as well as burning British tea,” (Shi & Tindall 132).…

    The main piece of aggravation to the colonists was the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was protested upon the principle “No taxation without representation”. This particular act affected virtually all the colonists and limiting economic success, and thus the colonists protested. An additional factor in the company was the Townshend Act. The British Parliament was illegally taxing. As a result, the colonists boycotted British goods (Document C). The Tea Act made the colonies economically inferior to that of England’s. The Tea Act was an act where the colonies merchants were being evaded and the British took over the trading. This hurt the economic success of the colonists, multitudes strengthened in resentment and soon after the Boston Tea Party followed (Document F). The British were furious at the colonial resistance to British law. In retaliation the Intolerable Act was passed. The Intolerable Act deactivated the Boston Port at Massachusetts Bay. Deactivating the port also deactivated the center of economic success for the colonies (Document H). England was also limiting the colonists to raw material production, which also hindered their economic success.…

    Slavery is a large part of American history, however it effected more than just the 13 colonies. Islands in the Caribbean were also places where slaves were kept. However, the institution of slavery in the English colonies differs from slavery in the caribbean because of their origins, the plantations they worked on, and how and why they were treated they way they were. "Approximately 10 million Africans were ripped from their homes, in Africa, and taken to the "New World" between the 1500-1800s" ("Slavery in the Colonies").
