Why did the two groups fight in the american revolution

History

vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago

By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.
Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war
Most Americans disagreed. They believed that England had fought the expensive war mostly to strengthen its empire and increase its wealth, not to benefit its American subjects. Also, Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.

How did the sit-down stoke DIFFER from a traditional strike in which workers walked off of their jobs ?
svetlana [45]

A sit down strike is a strike which has a somewhat nontraditional nature as it is when employees take "illegal" possession of their workplace by committing to a strike at their work stations. Furthermore, employees 'sit-down' at their station but do not work. It is considered a form of civil disobedience. This differs from a traditional strike as in traditional strikes workers walk off their jobs and therefore can be replaced whereas a sit-down strike causes work stations to be occupied and therefore does not allow employees to be replaced easily.

What was life like in the 1950’s for African Americans?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Many blacks were regularly forced to attend all black colleges. High schools and elementary schools were located in the most run-down locations, surrounded by poverty, forcing the standard of living and the standard of education to be obviously lower than that of the whites'. Some whites claimed that African Americans "weren't intelligent enough to even have the privilege of an education at all". The main issue that the terrible schooling system generated was that it was nearly impossible for blacks to fit in with society, because without an education, they were lost, without a decent paying job.

Explanation:

Life as a black man, woman, or child was guaranteed to be rough in the 1950s. Blacks' Constitutional right to vote was infringed upon until 1965. It was evident that discrimination was present; for example, it was more difficult for blacks to purchase houses in certain neighborhoods or developments. Sometimes, blacks weren't even permitted in specific public facilities or spaces.  

African Americans weren't allowed to join the YMCA nor the YWCA. Surprisingly, full-grown black men were never talked to as adults; they were talked down to and treated like children. All blacks were expected to respond to whites with a "yes ma'am" or "yes sir" to show respect, no matter what the age of that white was. Discrimination was most commonly known to relate to bus stops and water fountains; blacks had a separate water fountain and were forced to sit in the back of the bus if seats were scarce
