Why did parliament raise taxes on the colonies after the french and indian war

History

Parliament raised taxes on the colonies after the French and Indian War because the British government was in debt.

During the French and Indian War, British prime minister William Pitt allowed the British military to spend as much money as they wanted in order to defeat the French in North America. This ultimately lead to significant debt for the British govenrment.

The British government turned to the colonists to pay off this debt, as they felt it was only fair that the colonists pay for the protection the British military provided the colonists against the French. However, the colonists did not respond well to these taxes because they had no representation in Parliament. This is why the colonists cried "no taxation without representation" in protest of the British government. This would become one of the main reasons for the colonists declaring independence from the British empire.

What 1819 event made many Americans want to elect officials who better protected their interests?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The event was The Panic of 1819 that made many Americans want to elect officials who better protected their interests <em>because it made the Americans rethink the New Republicans and their system that favoured internal improvements, tariff protection and the Second Bank of the United States. </em>

This starts when the Second Bank of the United States tries to reduce the inflationary practices because many of the Western branches had issued large amounts of currency to speculators and farmers without having currency to support the paper currency. They thought they could solve it by drastically reducing the loans to these branches, however, <em>this resulted in foreclosures on real property</em>.

The Panic of 1819 was the first major financial crisis in the country and led to a collapse of the economy that continued for two years. The Panic also caused massive unemployment and bankruptcies.

Thomas Hobbes believed that citizens must __________ in exchange for order.
Dvinal [7]
Thomas Hobbes believed that citizens must give up some of their liberties in exchange for order. Hobbes is best known for publishing his work titled "The Leviathan", which proposed the concept of social contract. Social contract argues that citizens must sacrifice some of their liberties to government in order to obtain protection of their other rights and privileges. In Leviathan, Hobbes proposes what society would be like without government, and that it would be one society with violence and a desire for protection of property and safety. In order to obtain these, citizens must sacrifice their rights by following certain laws in order to obtain a sense of order and peace within a structured society.

Write a body paragraph about CORE that connects to Freedom Rides
Tasya [4]
So Core was an organization trying to do peaceful protests to end segregation and discrimination in the South.  Core set up protests like sit ins and the marches that the kids preformed. Core connects with the Freedom rides because several whites and blacks went down to Alabama and used the opposite race water fountains. They also sat in different sections of the bus like whites sat in the colored section and viseversa.  Core was technically one of the driving organizations that fought for racial equality.
