Question

Would you have joined the American Revolution? Why or Why not? Give 2-3 reasons for full answer

Answer 1

I would join the American Revolution, there are many reasons to why I would do this such as the fact that Britain wasn't giving the colonists any say, it would have been dangerous to appose, and since times were different Britian making rules for America that far away wouldn't have worked out.

Britain made many rules and laws for the colonists however there was no representation from anyone who lived there. This made most of the laws and rules unfair and without their consent. This would make me very upset and angry at them especially because Britain recently made new laws and policy's to give the people a say however it didn't include the colonists. Therefore I would be very angry at the taxies and not having any say in parliment.

Another reason I and a lot of other poepel woluld join the revolution is because people who supported the Britain were harassed. If you opposed the Revolution people would call you a tory and they could violently attack you by putting tar and fethers on you. At first this wouldn't seem that bad but back in those days if hot tar gets on you when you peel it off you can get horibel infections which a lot of people died from.

Another reason is back in those days all people had to communiate with were letters. Now these letters had to go by boat all the way across the ocean. This ment that britain ruling America from that far away is bound to fail due to distance. Long distance relationships never work out

Therefore I would be 100% in for the revolution because we had no representation, its dangerous not to, and long distance relationships never work out.

Hope this helps bye!
