How did Increased British military and abuse of colonial rights effect cause the American Revaluation?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Causes

The British Empire established colonies in the Americas.

Britain and France engaged in the French and Indian War, battling over land in North America. After the British won the war, they gained possession of France’s North American territories east of the Mississippi River. Up until this point the British had left the American colonies mostly on their own, but under the rule of King George III, Great Britain began to exert more control over the colonies.

Stamp Act warning

“An Emblem of the Effects of the STAMP,” a warning against the Stamp Act published in the Pennsylvania Journal, October 1765; in the New York Public Library.

The French and Indian War put the British crown in debt. In order to increase revenues for the costs of defending the expanding British Empire, Britain taxed the colonies. It imposed the Sugar Act in 1764, and, one year later, it added the Stamp Act. Colonists protested the added taxes. The Stamp Act was repealed.

In another effort to raise money and exert its authority over the colonies, Britain established the Townshend Acts in 1767. This series of acts placed taxes on tea, lead, paint, paper, and glass imported to the colonies. The acts were resisted through violence, deliberate refusal to pay, and hostility toward British agents.

Colonial opposition to the British grew, and the British sent troops to Boston, Massachusetts. As punishment for the colonists’ resistance, the British Parliament enacted four measures known as the Intolerable Acts. Meant to divide the colonies, the act united the colonies and provided justification for organizing the First Continental Congress in 1774.

After representatives for the colonists called on Britain to cancel the Intolerable Acts, Britain responded by sending more troops. Fighting ensued, and the colonies officially declared independence on July 4, 1776.

Effects

The Peace of Paris, a collection of treaties signed by both sides, ended the war. Britain recognized the United States of America as an independent country and ceded territory to the new United States.

A new plan of government, the Articles of Confederation, were written in 1776–77 and adopted by Congress on November 15, 1777. The articles were not fully ratified by the states until March 1, 1781. This new government organization served as a bridge between the initial government by the Continental Congress and the federal government provided under the Constitution of the United States.

-Meriwether Lewis was an explorer, soldier, botanical collector, and American public administrator. Lewis is known for having led, with William Clark, the expedition of Lewis and Clark, whose mission was to explore, shortly after the Louisiana Purchase, the new acquired territories and that managed to establish trade and sovereignty over the natives, and claim the Pacific Northwest and Oregon territory for the United States before the European nations do.

-William Clark was a military officer, territorial governor, and American explorer who joined Meriwether Lewis on the so-called Lewis and Clark expedition.

In 1803, Lewis proposed to Clark to share the command of the expedition he was forming under the auspices of President Thomas Jefferson, the so-called Corps of Discovery. The expedition lasted three years, and although technically it was a subordinate and was under the command of Lewis, in practice both shared the command at the insistence of this.

Clark was mainly concerned with the preparation of letters, the management of logistics and supplies, and the identification and classification of indigenous plants and animals.

-Sacajawea was an indigenous woman belonging to the Shoshone tribe who accompanied and guided the Lewis and Clark Expedition in their exploration of the western part of the United States of America. Sacajawea traveled with the expedition between 1804 and 1806, from North Dakota to the coast of the current state of Oregon.

Sacajawea was of great help indicating the steps to follow to reach the Pacific Ocean, forming part of one of the most important trips of recognition of the territory of North America.

-York was an African-American slave known for his participation in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. A slave of William Clark, he participated without pay despite being a full member of the group. There's no data of him after the expedition.
