When it comes to the American Revolution, which side had the strongest argument? Did Great Britain have legitimate reasons to ta
x the colonists and reign them in, or were the colonists justified in their reactions that led them towards independence? What factors prevented them from seeing "eye to eye"?
The colonists had justified reasons because all they wanted was to have a representative in the English parliament who could vote on future taxes and anything else. If they had representatives in the parliament, the war might have never happened or might have been delayed. The factor that prevented them was that the King believed he could do whatever he wanted because he was the King and the colonies supposedly belonged to him, just like everything else.
he French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
