Why Was the New Nation Born?Essay title: Why Was the New Nation Born?Why was the New Nation Born?It is an unfeasible task to limit causes of the American Revolution to one distinct factor. From the French and Indian War to the late seventeen hundreds, many events, both chaotic and orderly, resulted in Colonial opposition to Great Britain.
These factors include: Americans exercising their strong beliefs for rights of freedom including taxation without representation, over time and distance England and the Colonies became distinctly different, a fight for economic and political power in America, and an argument of Patriot desire for a different kind of democracy than what was in England during the 1760s. Whether this meant they wanted to restore a government that Britain had lost or wanted to create there own, Patriots and the colonies felt strongly that they needed a new system of government. While the majority of those supporting Independence ultimately felt the basis for these reasons were strong enough to go to war, they did not immediately act like it. It is pretty clear to see that before the rejection of the Olive Branch petition, colonists were open to cooperate with Britain and still considered themselves loyal to the king.
A huge factor that lead to the Revolution was Britains unfair use of taxation. Great Britain had the right to tax her colonies, and regulate their trade. The colonies in America though, were being taxed to gain revenue. The conditions of rights of the colonists were slowly changed and taken away as the limitations placed by British parliament became more and more intolerable. Laws such as the Townsend Acts and Stamp Acts were passed that had Colonists paying taxes to the king that they thought were outrageous. Someone today easily would become angered if they had to pay taxes on something that did not benefit themselves. This is how the colonists felt. Why should have to be paying taxes to the King when he is 3000 miles away and knew nothing of the Western world? During the Seven Years War Britain became very alarmed that Colonists were trading with enemies and foreign countries and began to hold a stronger grip on the importing and exporting of goods. The Tea Act would not allow any trading or selling of tea products without intervention of England. Bostonians were losing
money and it was hurting their way of life. After the Sons of Liberty partook in the infamous Boston Tea Party, serious conflict had set in.Many Patriots had another very basic argument for independence. Parliament and the king were 3000 miles away and nearly 170 years had passed since initial settlement. Social, economic, and ways of thinking had become very different between the England and the colonies. Why should the colonies be ruled by someone who knows nothing about them? How could you rely on a group of government officials to make the right decisions if they are 3000 miles away? These are all extremely valid and sensible questions that many Patriots asked themselves as time, distance, and change inevitably separated the two.
Historical data shows a strong argument that if Tories had to be classified into a single group, it would be the upper class. Taxes and limitations really did not have a large effect on the rich, so they did not have as harsh feelings towards England. If anything, they had security and were apart of the most powerful empire in the world. The lower class really struggled with the taxations and unsympathetic treatment England used against them. Life was hard for them already in itself, but with Britain constantly breathing down their neck it made it a lot harder. If they could get rid of the kings laws, maybe they could become the upper class. Could a class conflict really cause an entire civil war? While this was not an explosive effect, it did bring a lot of resentment
Polls:
I have three other interesting and fascinating poll results. These are based on surveys that were conducted in 2011.
I know this will be very interesting, but this poll is a huge help but it is not yet quite done.
First thing’s first
I’d like to tell you a little story you did in 2011: the campaign to stop Muslims travelling to Syria for an ‘anti-Islamic’ march on London. We thought this is awesome but it turned out that it was actually quite a bad idea and we decided to wait a little longer before doing a public campaign. This happened right after the London Underground was bombed and there was a whole wave of hate and resentment going around.
But, really, we did find a lot of good. I guess the idea was to give the idea a bit of airtime and to put forward a little common ground, a good idea for the future but certainly to give the opportunity to the people working there, that you do want all the kind of people and a lot of those people in your community who want to get involved with this. We knew that if you were a minority we were going to be able to help get things done and that it was going be extremely helpful to give some airtime. We were looking at the ideas that some of the people who had spoken at a similar event had to have. You get those people and you get more people. You try to do very constructive things when you have a decent chance to do that but sometimes you don’t.
So, the idea of an anti-Islamic march was a very good idea. The polling was done between 2009 and 2012, and by that time the vote really started to get really heavy. In London it was almost half the popular vote and in other parts of the city it was quite low. But, after that we had some positive aspects.
The polling started in 2014 and was very encouraging. Even with the people who had won seats in September or in November we had people who had voted in January or even February or April when we needed seats. It was the election that has made it so important for us.
Finally, we said all this to start the campaign:
We have to do something that would stop the Islamic terrorists from coming to our nation…
With their huge numbers in this area it’s only a matter of time before more serious attacks.
After much research the British government decided it was time to stop supporting ISIS.
We were pretty clear this was not something the government wanted to do, although it was interesting to note that they had put up an advisory about this and also said that we couldn’t support ISIS.
Finally, and this got us thinking, maybe this was something we could do?
I think people were very surprised to learn about this. . It would have been nice to see that we really were looking at this as a whole.
But it was actually pretty strange to
