The person above me is certainly correct - the North American colonies rebelled against British control because of D. high taxes.
They were a new country which at the time belonged to Britain, but they wanted their independence to make whichever taxes they wanted and not depend on another country. There were no language differences - both sides spoke English, and given that those colonies consisted of people from Britain, there weren't any cultural differences either. And who would rebel about low taxes?
the Populists simply wanted more money in circulation as they believed this would raise the price of the crops. I was always curious as to "who" advised them of this policy as it would lead to inflation.

The Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) were four laws passed by Federalists that restricted the activities of foreign residents in the country, allowed the government to deport foreigners seen as "dangerous", made it difficult for immigrants to vote, requiring them to reside for 14 years in the U.S. to become eligible to vote, and it prohibited public opposition to the government.
1. What led to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts?
The Acts were passed after the diplomatic incident called "XYZ Affair" that almost involved the United States and France in war. Facing French foreign threat, the Federalist President Adams created the acts as a way to prevent subversion in the United States against governmental measures.
2. What made them so controversial?
The Acts, especially the Sedition Act, were so controversial because it violated people's rights of freedom of speech and of the press protected under the First Amendment. Under the acts, anyone who wrote, printed, uttered or published any writing seen as false, scandalous and malicious against the government could be imprisoned or would have to pay fines.
