History

The American delegates pleaded with George III to attempt peaceful resolution and declared their loyalty to the Crown. The King refused to receive this petition and instead declared the colonies to be in a state of rebellion in August. Insult turned to injury when George ordered the hiring of HESSIAN mercenaries to bring the colonists under control. Americans now felt less and less like their English brethren. How could their fellow citizens order a band of ruthless, foreign goons? The moderate voice in the Continental Congress was dealt a serious blow.

<span>As the seasons changed and hostilities continued, cries for independence grew stronger. The men in Philadelphia were now wanted for treason.

They continued to govern and hope against hope that all would end well.</span>

As a wife of a member of the Boston tea party I believe that we need to break free from the British with violence we need to break them where the men cannot. When the British invade our homes we poison them to get them away from our homes. We should be violent against the British as they have taken human rights away. We need to birth kids to fight the British.

Why did Columbus believe he has reached Asia when actually traveled less then halfway there?
Kisachek [45]

    Columbus believed he had reached Asia when he had traveled less than halfway there because geographical knowledge at the time was limited. They believed if they sailed West they would reach Asia by sea but actually ended up in the Americas. He thought the world was smaller than it actually was.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The colonists tried to do in the past was to peacefully demand America's autonomy. However, the British brethren responded with repressions and tyrannies, hampering the peace between the two nations.

Explanation:

American colonists did not want to destroy the partnership and peaceful relations with the British, considering them brother, because of the kinship between the two nations and for this reason, Jefferson says that in the name of this family bond the colonists demanded that they be given autonomy in a peaceful and friendly manner, valuing diplomacy between the two nations. However, the British responded with hostility by imposing sanctions and reprisals that put an end to the Americans' regard for them.
