History

Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The idea of freedom (political, economic and social) reflected the <u>desire of independence in the colonies.</u>

Explanation:

The new forms of thought, art, behavior, detached from medieval religiosity resulted in the birth of the ideological current known as the Enlightenment. According to them, human beings born free and must continue this way. <u><em>French Revolution, inspired by this idea, created the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" and spread across the world. This feeling of freedom arrived in the American colonies, promoting the necessity of revolution against the European empires (British, Spanish, and Portuguese).</em></u> In the final years of the 18th century and the early decades of the 19th century, many revolutions would happen in the colonies, fighting for freedom.

An excise tax on alcohol would have been rejected by all the moralistic groups advocating for prohibition as a mild and ineffective measure
