Was The English Parliament More Responsible For The American Revolution

The English parliament was more responsible for the American revolution rather than the American rebels, for many reasons the English parliament created nothing but anger and war. In the years 1763 and 1775 several laws were passed down that made it difficult to trade and raised taxes. In the year 1764, prime minister Grenville proposed a stamp tax. This meant the colonist had to purchase government issued stamps for legal paper work and other goods. Once this news got to the colonies they all rioted and destroyed the house where the stamps where distributed. In 1767 the British government passed the Townshend act which would allow the British government to have power over the colonist and enable them to raise the taxes on British products.
