From my perspective Great Britain 's parliament, especially King George III never wanted to lose his power in the colonies because he knew that the new nation was very important for him in terms of economic and political aspect. Everyday economy industry and infrastructure was booming in the new nation. King knew that if he loses his power in the new nation, there would not be money anymore to the Britain 's government which I am assume most of Britain 's government income was for levying acts on the colonies. As the Britain 's empire was expanded in many places in the world, I believe a big part of his empire was in America. King George III did not want colonies to be separated so that in the future if any country goes war with Britain he
The moment American colonies declare independence in 1776, they became outlaws and disconnected from the British Empire no longer could a text Sam no longer could a profit for them no longer with the forces send their product products across the sea. The British heavily taxed their colony of America with ridiculous taxation of their people , since they declare independence they had a voice within their government stating how much should they be taxed as a people with interstate.
The other two main reasons as to why the United States wanted to back out was because they wanted to punish Britain for supporting the South in the Civil War and they disliked the tariffs that Canada placed on manufactured goods. External trade caused many colonies to consider to join together since it would be easier for all the colonies to trade resources and to receive materials that helped to develop their growth. This problem affected many populations since they relied on external trade to earn their profits. External trade was not entirely bad for colonies as this helped each colony to receive resources to evolve into more developed
England never had proper control over its colonies. Many immigrants left England knowing that the nation 's power within the colonies was virtually nonexistent. It could be argued that England appointed governors and passed laws before 1763 in an attempt to control its colonies, but it is known that colonists largely undermined these efforts and found ways to circumvent the generally unenforced legislation. The colonies had been deciding their own laws and faith since they had arrived on the foreign continent, because of how accustomed the Americans became to home rule, they would not let England take their right from them.
All of this would be very useful if Great Britain wanted to break its ties with the North American colonies. They would prefer to be less involved in the area and concentrate more on other areas of the world. The choice to join Confederation is also significantly influenced by the Reciprocity Treaty's cancellation. The treaty, which is signed by the US and the British colonies in North America, permits unrestricted trade between the two nations.
The Colonies had started frazzled and no clue on how to run a government or land. Within the next 20 years, the power the USA held started to grow, more countries/states signing the agreement to become part of the United States. Many people still within the British colonies believed the USA would fail; they thought the idea of shared power within the people would fail and lead to a ruined, powerless country. That had almost come to fruition; the states had little to no money and power, and the system we have now did not exist then. They had no branch in charge, and no president to clean everything
“England could not afford to be left out of any acquisitions. The French, the Dutch, and the Spanish had already claimed territories there, and England could not allow herself to be left behind any of these countries.” (http://www.earlyamerica.com) The King and Queen of England were so “out of sight and out of mind” current members of Parliament ever set foot on American soil.
Since the late 1760s colonists living in America had been struggling with Britains new restrictions placed on them. They tried to fix the relationship with Britain but it was to no avail. More than half of the colonies just wanted to break away and make their own government rather than continue to struggle with the mother country. The colonies couldn't do as they pleased because the couldn't get to a definite answer as to what people wanted. Some colonies apposed to the thought of splitting away from Britain because they would need to build a brand new government that would work well enough to protect them.
The relationship between Britain and its American colonies was civil at first but began to strain in the mid-1700’s. In the beginning, Britain ruled colonies with little involvement because they were busy dealing with the French and Indian War among other things. As a result of this, the colonies were typically left in charge of themselves with little interference from British authorities. After years of being left alone, the colonists had developed a feeling of freedom and independence. When the war ended there was a significant change in the relations between England and the colonies.
Events that occurred during the American Revolution Ever wondered what led to the American revolution? Or what happened in early America? This will be covering events during the period of 1763 – 1775 that caused conflict between colonial America and Great Britain. Furthermore, how the Virtual Representation of 1775 represents American colonist’s feelings about the Crown and the Great Britain Parliament.

Zinn’s focus in Tyranny is Tyranny is the plight of the lower class Americans just as the war began and just after. He focuses on the problems they faced and how the government was shaping out to be. In the fourth chapter of a people’s history of the United States, Howard Zinn explains in detail the hardships people were facing. He also explains what he feels was the founding fathers motives behind the war fought with Britain.
The American Colonies attempted many times to catch the attention of the King in order to prevent anymore disliking for the crown and his government. These dislikes would soon grow into tensions as the British government ignored the American Colonies solutions. When analyzing the primary documents it was clear that tensions were high in the colonies due to the unfairness
The British government was not looking for the best of the people. They were only thinking about what they wanted; the government was not interested in what the people wanted so they decided to make decisions on their own, which resulted in changes that form the United States today. Because of this, they were justified in rebelling and declaring independence. One reason why the colonists decided to rebel and declare independence was because of taxation.
The people of America (colonists) were tired of being controlled by England. They wanted to be free and independent. They believed that they were able to control themselves and be their own country. They wanted England to let go of their control and to view them as independent and their own country.
The Colonies were striving even more to helping the British because they thought the British would reward by letting them more out to newer lands and going further west, but unfortunately the opposite happened. In Document A we can see that the British gain an immense amount of land, but they placed the Proclamation Line of 1763. This permitted the Colonist from moving further west and staying one place. This brought lots of angry towards the British Empire thus causing their loyalty and relationship with them to vanish. The Colonies began to grow a desire for Freedom and slowly began to grow a more self sufficient nature, leading to the Revolutionary
Another reason why Great Britain established colonies in America was to create a safe haven for financial resources. Great Britain came into a lot of debt as a result of the Seven Years War. In order to service this debt, they began to tax the colonists in an effort to carry this financial burden. The English leaders understood that if they were going
