How did the Stamp Act of 1765 play a part in motivating the movement toward independence in the

History

ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago

The Stamp Act of 1765 angered a lot of colonists and made them want independence, as many felt like they were being treated unfairly.

This act caused the colonists to pay taxes on certain paper products under Great Britain's rule. The colonists felt like this was very unfair as they had no say in what was happening, or "taxation without representation." They had nobody in the British Parliament and could not fight for what they wanted, many deemed this unfair.

Great Britain tried to justify this by saying that they were paying for the French and Indian War, which was very expensive, so they needed extra money. They also said that since they were giving the colonists protection by having British troops, so they shouldn't complain about what they were putting taxes on. This didn't matter to the colonists and many of them started to boycott the products that had taxes on them.

The Stamp Act of 1765 really unified the colonists together, as all of them wanted independence from Great Britain and believed they were being treated unfairly. After a while, Great Britain realized that the Stamp Act was hurting many British merchants and was doing more harm than good, so they repealed it.

What did Coca Cola have instead of caffeine in 1900
stira [4]

Answer: I think drugs:/

Explanation:

1909, the federal government brought charges against the country’s best known soft-drink manufacturer, charging it with false advertising and for quietly loading its bottles with a risky stimulant. The case — named for a seizure of specially prepared syrup — was formally titled United States vs. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca Cola.

Two years later, in the spring of 1911, the trial commenced in Chattanooga, Tenn. Many had expected its focus to be on the illegal drug cocaine, which in the 19th century had been a celebrated part of the company’s formula, highlighted in its famously pep-you-up advertising schemes.

In three to four sentences, describe the negative effects multiculturalism has had on modern-day Egypt. If someone has enough ti
sdas [7]

In some instances, encouraging multicuturalism is an appropiate measurement to adopt in some nations, in some others it is not.

Multiculturalism is expected to help develop national bonds as well as common goals.

However, multiculturalism is usually about inmigrants who strive to impose their ways upon their new neighbors. Division is created when any specific group refuses to integrate by not speaking the commonly accepted language or becoming part of the general culture, for example when inmigrants not only refuse  to accept the same religion and holidays but they demand their own to be recognized.

Such is the situation in modern Egypt, where multiculturalism has brought conflict between Copts (Christian) and Muslim Egyptians.

Conflicts between these two factions have even escalated to violence in the last 30 years due to these reasons.
