Compelling question:
Was the Revolutionary War the last option for Patriots to get Independence from Great Britain?
Argument/Evidence:
1.- Yes, it was the only option after the number of aggressions and aggravations from the British crown. The English government never had the "openness" to negotiate another valid solution.
2.- Colonists were sick and tired of the heavy taxation imposed by the English government. We are talking about injust taxation such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Townshend Act, or the Tea Act.
3.- The worst part of it was that colonists had to pay those taxations but they did not have a voice in the British Parliament.
