Recommended: The causes of the American revolution

I really enjoyed this video. It's crazy the amount of informaton that gets packed into a three minute video. I think the cartoon and music that accompanies it helps because you're being entertained as well as informed. I think it's easier for me to remember a fun fact from the video versus reading a whole chapter from a book. I think it's sad that King George thought so little of the colonists and decided to use them for his gain. The colonists originally set sail looking for more freedoms and a better way of life only to end up having to be controlled by the Britsh. They wanted to believe that King George would in fact give them a better lifestyle and went along with him. It wasn't long before they relaized they were only pawns being used

    If I were put in the similar predicament of the American colonists, I believe that I would have agreed and sided with the radicals, also known as Patriots. The King forced the colonists to pay for the costs of the French/Indian War, as well as any war that the British participated in. Pair that with the bad policies passed by the British, that is a recipe for disaster and

    Often in history textbooks the British are cast in an evil light, while the American colonists are seen as the underdogs who are fighting against tyrannical rule and striving for freedom for all.... ... middle of paper ... ... This wouldn’t be quite as terrible, but the hypocrisy of promising rights to all, where everyone is created equal and then doing the exact opposite, makes the matter worse. Women, natives, the poor, and blacks had to fight countless years just to be on the same level as their oppressors, with some taking much longer to gain anything close to equality.

As stated by James Otis in The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved (1763), . . . “The very act of taxing exercised over those who are not represented appears to me to be depriving them of one of their most essential rights as freemen, and if continued seems to be in effect and entire disfranchisement of every civil right.” James Otis’s point of view seemed to express concerns for the civil and constitutional rights and liberties of the colonists.

  • The Influence Of The Boston Tea Party

    967 Words  | 2 Pages

    The American colonists had evolved and created new ways of thinking in this brand new world they had just discovered. Although Great Britain only saw the colonists as just a branch of their government across oceans, the colonists had seemed to grow into the mission as more than just an expedition, but as a new nation. A big difference in the cultures of colonists and the British were that the colonists farmed straight resources and then shipped them out to other countries instead of using the materials to craft their own goods. This creates a large cultural difference due to the colonists having farming lifestyle instead of how life was in Great Britain. Theses cultural differences led to the colonists not supporting King George anymore, making him already unpopular before he made any taxation laws

  • Thomas Paine's The American Revolution

    Now, able to express their grievances and frustrations, the Colonies were able to essentially “stick it to the man” against Britain. Thomas Jefferson writes how Great Britain’s king had “impos[ed] taxes on [them] without [their] consent,” and “depriv[ed] [them] of the benefits of trial by jury.“ He goes on to say that the king had abolish[ed] [their] most valuable laws; and alter[ed] fundamentally the forms of [their] governments.” (Baym 342) This list of complaints goes on and on. The king took away all of their fundamental rights, and the colonists were fed up. Thomas Jefferson says that he didn’t just take away their rights, but he took away their basic human rights, and “waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him.” (Baym 343) These are very strong words from Thomas Jefferson, but they reflect the way these colonists felt. They were angry, and they had every right to

Children are miracles and this video proves it. There are many obstacles a woman must go thru to have a child. I think everyone should view this video as well as high school students.
