    The previous policy of British rule over the colonies was Salutary Neglect, meaning the British would let the colonies govern themselves as long as they maintained fair trade relations with the British. Following the war, however, strict trade laws called the Navigation Acts made it so that Americans had restricted trade with places other than Britain. The Navigation Acts were a response to the lack of revenue mentioned in document F, and created a colonialist feeling of resentment towards the British. These feelings of resentment (in conjunction with many other feelings toward many other unfair acts that limited the prosperity of the colonies) led to the desire of a separate government, and ultimately the American…

    1.) American society wasn’t that democratic during the colonial days. Although it was much more democratic than England, it still wasn’t quite there yet. The constitution wasn’t signed and agreed upon until 1787, and before the turn of the 18th century, the colonies were a big mess. Most cities had an oligarchy, meaning a religious leader was in charge, making everyone abide by their rules, although it was often less religious and more on the tyrannical side. There wasn’t much separation of church and state. The only people who could vote were members of the church in most colonies, although some colonies allowed white men who owned property to have the right of franchise. People were hung, flogged, and exiled. Indentured servants had it bad,…

    The British force that was trying to occupy Boston was made up of 2,500 of the king's best soldiers. This force was led by General Thomas Gage who was the former governor of Montreal and had fought in The French and Indian war. Gage also commanded all the British forces in North America. On April 18-19, 1775 he sent an army to Concord to destroy military stores belonging to the Americans. The resulting battle of Lexington and Concord was one of the major starters of the Revolutionary war. The second in command was William Howe. He was widely believed to be a distant cousin of the king. He was a very talented and smart officer who did not want to fight the Americans but did when ordered to for fear of being branded a traitor. The final British officer in the battle was Henry Clinton. His military tactics where plausible, but he tried to get all of his superior officers to implement them in battle but only succeeded in irritating everybody.…

    Throughout the period 1801-1817, the government was ruled by the Jeffersonian Republican party, whereas the Federalist Party began to slowly fade away from public view. The Jeffersonian Republican party, led by Thomas Jefferson, professed to favor a weak central government through the support of more states' rights, "...that the states are independent... to...themselves...and united as to everything respecting foreign nations." (Document A). On the other hand, the Federalist Party, previously led by Alexander Hamilton, espoused the idea of a strong central government. The characterization of these two political parties during the presidencies of Jefferson and Madison were inconsistent with the professed position in the 1790's.The Jeffersonian Republican party was founded on specific principles, presented and created by Thomas Jefferson's ideal of the perfect government. The nation was thus divided into two ideals - the Jeffersonian Republicans and the Federalists - but as Thomas Jefferson rose to power, the Federalists ideals and influence began to fade. During the Tripolitan War, Jefferson used mostly the navy to fight and win the war, because of Jefferson's belief of a strong standing army was an invitation towards dictatorship. Specifically, the "mosquito fleet" was used because of its size and maneuverability. The "mosquito fleet" was also lightly funded because of the Jeffersonian Republicans' belief in a minimal navy, but it provided sufficient protection for the American shores. Three years after the Tripolitan War, the Embargo Act was enacted to avoid yet another war, which was the reason for Jefferson's pressure on Congress to pass it. The Embargo Act, however, was an example of Jefferson's Jeffersonian Republicans' "strict constructionist" ideal because a compromise in the Constitution stated that Congress had the power to regulate foreign trade. Jefferson's main goal was to avoid war, but the Embargo Act only delayed what seemed to be the inevitable. The…

    The British have been taken by surprise by the American colonists’ rebellion in 1775, which started the American Revolution, but the rebels suffered a major defeat at New York City in September 1776. The rebel army reformed and continued to fight. The surrender of a British army on October 17, 1777 convinced France to enter into an alliance with the American colonies, thus creating a bigger conflict. The British then shifted operations to the south, thought to be overflowing with loyalists, and Charleston, South Carolina fell on May 9, 1780. Gates, the hero of Saratoga, led an army of exhausted, starving Continentals and militia into battle against an equal number of redcoats at Camden, South Carolina on August 17. The redcoats charged and the Continentals were surrounded and slaughtered. The British thought that they had finally subdued the Carolinas, but they were wrong. -Historyonfilm.com…
