It is not the leaders, but the people who make a difference in the community. The

From the beginning of mankind’s recorded history, opposition to established governing bodies have always been recorded. Whether through coup d'etat or a peaceful protest, resistance to authority always causes change in some way. The United States Government changes; laws are meant to change as well. America prides itself on the history of its peaceful protests and revolutions, demonstrating positive effects on a free society. Because peaceful resistance wasn’t creating progressive change, radical disobedience was the key to change in the 1700’s during the American Revolution. In 1765, British Parliament passed the Stamp Act which required a stamp on all paper used by British colonists. Subsequently, the Stamp Act Congress met in New York City, in order to peacefully document all their grievances with the act. They stated “it is the right of the British subjects in these colonies, to petition the King, Or

People depict the American Revolution in terms of Patriots and Loyalists – those who supported the rebellion, patriots, and those who supported the British government, loyalists. Brittan has robbed us clean of our food, money, houses, and our rights, even after we helped them defeat the French in the war. I believe we should rebel against Brittan and fight for our rights, independence, and freedom. Parliament keeps enforcing taxes and restrictions, they killed our brethren in the Boston massacre, and conjured up a war.

Do you know about the Road to Revolution? Well if not I’m going to tell u about it. I’m going to explain what we have talked about this year. We have talked about the Navigation Act of 1660, The French and Indian war. Also, Pontiac’s Rebellion and predication of 1763. All of this leads to the British Actions, The French and Indian war, The Pontiac’s Rebellion and proclamation of 1763, The Sugar Act of 1764,The Stamp Act of 1764, The Declaratory Act of 1766,The Townsend Act of 1778, The Boston Massacre of 1770, The Boston Tea party, The Intolerable Acts of 1774. This all happened during The Road to Revolution. Navigation Acts of 1660 was the British Actions. In 1650 and 1698 British passed a series of Navigation traded by using

In 1765 The Stamp Act was passed where they had to pay stamp tax on every paper they bought. The colonists didn’t mind but they had no say about the new law. This made them quiet angry so they started to revolt about it. The colonists was protesting for this law to be repealed. This event is in my least important position because the colonist just didn’t get a word in The Stamp Act.

The result of the seven year’s war (1763) changed relations between Britain and the colonists. From 1763 to 1776, British enforcement of new taxes and establishment of restrictions on colonial life led to increased colonial resentment of British rule which eventually led to the declaration of a new nation.

After the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) Britain was in financial turmoil. Although Britain gained imperial assets, they also gained a massive national debt so Britain looked to the North American colonies as a source of revenue. In 1765, British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, which was an internal tax in the colonies. This was the first time Britain ever tried to tax the colonies but the colonies were upset because they felt only their elected colonial assemblies could tax them. They resisted the act then resorted to violence and intimidation. Giving up, the Stamp Act was repealed in 1766. Parliament felt they had a right to tax the colonies and enact legislation over them. After the Stamp Act came the Townshend Act which placed duties on

Imagine this. BOOM! Your father comes home and slams the door shut. Your mom rushes to your father’s side as he stomps angrily toward the table. As he shoves off your mother’s hand, you can smell the stench of alcohol cloud over your head. You immediately question, in your mind, what’s wrong. Then he speaks. Slurring his words, he says, “More taxes..” You know immediately what that means. But, she can’t. You know for a fact that you won’t be eating big meals anymore or getting a bunch of gifts on your birthday or Christmas. “I should have known,” says your father, “The day he told us about the first taxations…”

The American Revolution, which lasted from 1775 to 1783, began with tension, anger, and restriction. However, the outcome led to a free country known as the United States of America. The American Revolution has many effects on today’s modern country, including the Declaration of Independence and the abolition of slavery.

The new tax was imposed on all American colonists and were required them to pay a tax on every piece of paper they used.

The road to the American Revolution was a long and winding one. We had plenty of hiccups along the way and some major setbacks. In the end, in 1775, we grasped the courage to claim our independence from our mother country at the time, England. We fought a long bloody war, but ultimately won our freedom. While the war itself was fascinating, the events and actions of people leading to the revolution were even more intriguing. There were a series of barbaric actions performed by England, and several events and actions by patriots that countered our mother country. These actions and logical arguments by these patriots laid the foundation for what is modern day America. To start with, let us paint the scene

stamped paper it also taxed land grants, pamphlets, playing cards, and calendars”(97). This angered people due to the fact that everything that used to be free, was now costing money that went straight to the British Troops commissioned to protect the colonies against invaders.

The Stamp Act of 1765 (short title Duties in American Colonies Act 1765; 5 George III, c. 12) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain that imposed a direct tax on the colonies of British America and required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. Printed materials included legal documents, magazines, playing cards, newspapers, and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies.

They decided to make what we know the stamp act. They felt it was fair to tax the colonies since their involvement in wars. Started by the Prime Minister George Grenville in hope to get more money for their debts. Unlike the sugar act it was hidden in the cost of import duties and was accepted by most colonist. The Stamp act however, was a direct tax on the colonist, this led to uproar which I'll write about later in my essay, which you currently reading right now. Anywho, king George the third agreed with the tax without any arguments. They sent ten thousand soldiers along with stamp act officials which who handle the tax and stuff. This was the beginning of the stamp act and the real reasons of why the British established the stamp

The relationship between the British and the American colonist had slowly started to wither away in the 1750’s as tension built up over twelve years exhorted into the American Revolutionary War. As colonist first settled into their houses in the colonies away from their motherland, they still looked up the British and had been very proud to be of British ties, even though they were thousands of miles away. Overtime time, this loyalty to Great Britain had disappeared when repeated deliberate actions opposing the colonist Americans to question their loyalty. The end of the American Revolution had diminished all social, economic, and political relationships with Britain, which was a huge shock to both countries.
