The Stamp Act, Tea Act and Intolerable Acts were put into place without the consent of the colonists. This proved that Britain was not treating them as citizens, but merely as servants to their mother country.
The Americans realized that Britain was not going to stop enacting laws in the colonies this way, and they knew that secession was inevitable.
Plantation owners turned to the enslaved Africans as a labor force because they were not paying them for their work, instead they were just providing shelter and food for them. Also, they had total control over them because they owned them, thus were able to make them work as much as they wanted and the slaves couldn't do anything about it.
They have made it so that works wide wars like WW1 and WW2 most likely won’t happen again because of possible use of WMD’s (weapons of mass destruction). They created peace in WW2 because otherwise many more Japanese civilians would have died, as well as American soldiers. The Japanese leaders weren’t surrendering, and the conflict needed to end. The world is more dangerous now because of the sheer amount of WMD’s that exist. It would only take 40 nukes to put the entire world into a nuclear winter, and the US alone has over 1000.
