Question

Although it seems rather simple to most Americans, the American Revolution is considered a very controversial aspect of world history. Many people at the time (1776) considered Britain to be “progressive” when it came to how it ruled its citizens. How did the American colonists justify their rebellion from the British government? More importantly, do you think this rebellion (and ultimately revolution) was justified?

Answer 1

They wanted to defend their colonies. it was justified because they wanted to protect people.
