Why did the colonists and British fight in the American Revolution?

The colonists thought they were being taxed for problems that they did not create, and in wars that they did not participate in. They thought George III was a tyrant, which he was.  Their reasons are clearly laid out in the declaration of Independence. They have (I would say) about 2 dozen grievances and their attitude was enough was enough.

The British fought because their empire was being threatened. They were losing colonies which they thought were rightfully theirs. They came very close (in the beginning) to winning. Maybe George was a little insane, but he was their king and the government flowed from him.

 One particular organization that fought for racial equality was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) founded in 1909. For about the first 20 years of its existence, it tried to persuade Congress and other legislative bodies to enact laws that would protect African Americans from lynchings and other racist actions. Beginning in the 1930s, though, the NAACP's Legal Defense and Education Fund began to turn to the courts to try to make progress in overcoming legally sanctioned discrimination. From 1935 to 1938, the legal arm of the NAACP was headed by Charles Hamilton Houston. Houston, together with Thurgood Marshall, devised a strategy to attack Jim Crow laws by striking at them where they were perhaps weakest—in the field of education. Although Marshall played a crucial role in all of the cases listed below, Houston was the head of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund while Murray v. Maryland and Missouri ex rel Gaines v. Canada were decided. After Houston returned to private practice in 1938, Marshall became head of the Fund and used it to argue the cases of Sweat v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma Board of Regents of Higher Education.

The greatest impact on human settlement in Iraq
notka56 [123]
The greatest impact on human settlement in Iraq historically and today is most likely the access to resources. The Euphrates and Tigris Rivers have historically been the most important resources in Iraq since the age of Mesopotamia. Today other resources such as oil and others have led to human settlement, but these rivers remain major drivers of settlement in Iraq.
