Question

Evaluate the relative importance of different causes for the rising tensions between the American colonists and British government in the period 1754 to 1776

Answer 1

Answer:

The British Government had imposed many taxes and wanted to fully control the colonists.

Explanation:

Various taxes and acts were implemented on the American colonists like Tea Tax, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Intolerable Act etc. These acts and taxes gave the Britishers full control over the thirteen Americans colonies. This also enabled the Britishers to gain more capital by collecting taxes. The British government had suffered a lot financially and had to pay their post-war debt through this collection of money.

This gave rise to tension between the two parties hence the Americans revolted and started the American Revolution.
