Answer:

many events to push the colonists to a point where they wanted to fight for their independence. Below are some of the key causes of the American Revolution in the order they occurred.

The Founding of the Colonies

One thing to keep in mind is that many of the American colonies were first founded by people trying to escape religious persecution in England. As the British government became more involved in the affairs of colonies, people began to worry that they would once again lose their freedoms.

French and Indian War

The French and Indian War took place between the American colonies and New France. Both sides allied with various Native American tribes. This war lasted from 1754 to 1763. British troops not only helped the colonists to fight the war, but were stationed in the colonies for protection after the war. These troops weren't free and Britain needed money to pay for the troops. The British Parliament decided to tax the American colonies to help pay for the troops.

Taxes, Laws, and More Taxes

Prior to 1764, the British government had pretty much left the colonists alone to govern themselves. In 1764, they began to impose new laws and taxes. They implemented a number of laws including the Sugar Act, Currency Act, Quartering Act, and the Stamp Act.

The colonists were not happy with the new taxes. They said they should not have to pay British taxes because they had no representatives in the British Parliament. Their motto became "No Taxation Without Representation."

Protests in Boston

Many colonists began to protest against these new British taxes and laws. A group called the Sons of Liberty formed in 1765 in Boston and soon spread throughout the colonies. During one protest in Boston, a fight broke out and several colonists were shot and killed. This incident became known as the Boston Massacre.

In 1773, the British imposed a new tax on tea. Several patriots in Boston protested this act by boarding ships in Boston harbor and dumping their tea into the water. This protest became known as the Boston Tea Party.

Intolerable Acts

The British decided that the colonies needed to be punished for the Boston Tea Party. They issued a number of new laws that the colonists called the Intolerable Acts.

Boston Blockade

One of the Intolerable Acts was the Boston Port Act which shut down the port of Boston for trade. British ships blockaded Boston Harbor, punishing everyone who lived in Boston, both patriots and loyalists. This angered not only people in Boston, but also people in other colonies who were afraid the British would do the same thing to them.

Growing Unity Among the Colonies

The increased laws punishing the colonies did little to control the colonies as the British had hoped, but actually had the opposite effect. The laws caused the colonies to become more united against the British. Many colonies sent supplies to help Boston during the blockade. Also, more and more colonists throughout the Americas joined up with the Sons of Liberty.

First Continental Congress

In 1774, twelve of the thirteen colonies sent representatives to the First Continental Congress as a direct response to the Intolerable Acts. They sent a petition to King George III to repeal the Intolerable Acts. They never got a response. They also established a boycott of British goods.

Explanation:

  • <em>The war for American independence from Britain. The fighting began with the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775, and lasted through the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. General George Washington commanded the American forces, assisted by Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold, Horatio Gates, John Paul Jones, and others. The leaders of the British included Charles Cornwallis, John Burgoyne, Thomas Gage, and William Howe, among others. The American cause was greatly aided by French ships and troops and by the presence of the French nobleman and soldier the Marquis de Lafayette. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 officially ended the war. (See Battle of Bunker Hill and Battle of Saratoga.)</em>

Why do you think Americans value the ideas of liberty, equality and justice?
kogti [31]

Answer:

After the Renaissance, people were enlightened  and stood against the traditional authority of the monarch to rule. In order to get rid of the tradition of the king rule which brought chaos and destruction, a need for central government was necessary.

Individual freedom was important as each and every person's right cannot be neglected in a democratic country. Liberty was required for the free man to take decisions. And Equality was important so that the rich doesn't get richer and poor doesn't get poorer.

Who maintains American neutrality
Ket [755]

Answer:

The Embargo Act.

Jefferson's solution to the problems with Great Britain and France was to deny both countries American goods. In December 1807, Congress passed the Embargo Act, which stopped exports and prohibited the departure of merchant ships for foreign ports.

Explanation:

The Proclamation of Neutrality was a formal announcement issued by U.S. President George Washington on April 22, 1793 that declared the nation neutral in the conflict between France and Great Britain. It threatened legal proceedings against any American providing assistance to any country at war.

When war broke out in Europe, the United States immediately declared its neutrality. President Woodrow Wilson stated that America must be “impartial in thought as well as in action.” For a century, the U.S. had stayed out of European affairs. Most Americans preferred to continue this policy.

After a fierce debate in Congress, in November of 1939, a final Neutrality Act passed.

Is Duncan a fool for going to Macbeth's castle and not suspecting the danger posed to him there by Macbeth and lady Macbeth why
Sonbull [250]
Is Duncan a fool? No.

Reasons Why: 
Reason one: Duncan isn’t a fool for going to his house but a fool for not having protection while he rested. Reason two: Duncan isn’t a fool for simply trusting a man that helped win a war. Reason three: Duncan isn’t a fool because he didn’t know Macbeth was plotting to kill him. He was blinded because he thought Macbeth was a good Samaritan. Conclude:

Duncan wasn’t a fool but he was foolish to trust a fool that plotted to kill him and succeed. Duncan wasn’t and still isn’t a fool because he trusted a simile and mustache. Duncan trusted the wrong man that did good deed but the lesson learned here is that a person can do well just as much as a person can do wrong and that greed is the ultimate seed to.
