The first major American opposition to British policy came in 1765 after Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a taxation measure designed to raise revenues for a standing British army in America. Under the banner of “no taxation without representation,” colonists convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the tax. With its enactment in November, most colonists called for a boycott of British goods, and some organized attacks on customhouses and homes of tax collectors.
After months of protest in the colonies, Parliament finally voted to repeal the Stamp Act in March 1766. Most colonists continued to quietly accept British rule until Parliament’s enactment of the Tea Act in 1773, a bill designed to save the faltering British East India Company by greatly lowering its tea tax and granting it a monopoly on the American tea trade. The low tax allowed the company to undercut even tea smuggled into America by Dutch traders, and many colonists viewed the act as another example of taxation tyranny. Hope this helps!

Cortes' conquest was much harder fought than that of Pizarro,but basically their interaction with the natives was the same - kidnap th leader,extort a ransom,kill the hostage anyway,then attack and conquer their people.</span>
Most likely, yes.
Different cultures value different ideas, different upbringings and have different value systems in general. All of these differences lead to different people in terms of their preferences and choices. Because all this exists, we can very safely say that a personal identity would also be different in a different culture.
