Britain was up to its shoulders in debt from war. The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies. They decided to require several kinds of taxes from the colonists, to help pay for the French and Indian War. The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods. They also rioted so to speak, they would tar and feather officials, dump tea into the ocean and eventually go to war with their motherland.

Three reasons that many Americans wanted reform in the workplace
rjkz [21]
Here are three reasons why Americans wanted workplace reform during the late 19th and early 20th century.

1) Unfair wages- Many American citizens were paid extremely low wages, making it difficult to support their family.

2) Long hours- American citizens worked over 60 hours a week in most cases. Along with this, they usually worked 6 days a week. This exhausting schedule left little time to be with their families.

3) Unsafe working conditions- Working with machinery was a dangerous task that many citizens had to confront on a daily basis. This increased their chances of getting hurt on the job.
