Yes. Had they just had the colonsits represented in Parliament or asked them, they would have had no problems with the taxes. They just wanted to be respected. The tax was equal to just pennies today. If the Britished had just consented with the colonists, there would have been no reason for revolts.

the two... as with every issues extremely. genuinely there replaced right into a genuinely distinction of opinion. The British perspective replaced into that at vast value the British had only fought and gained the 7 years conflict, which for the 1st actual time lifted the colonies removed from the probability of important French intervention. The British justifiably had to recoup the countless money it spent, and benefit extra suitable reward from the now total administration it had gained. additionally whilst in comparison with British matters contained in the mainland, and definitely fairly plenty somebody in continental Europe on the time, human beings have been extra gently taxed, so it in common terms appeared trustworthy that they could be predicted to pay extra. human beings likewise had sacrificed rather for the victory contained in the 7 years conflict, nevertheless at not something like the price, and on a plenty smaller scale than the British empire as an entire had achieved. They likewise seen themselves to be British and as such entitled to each and all of the rights than any Briton contained in the mummy u . s . itself, and as a result believed that via distinctive characteristic of a shared monarch the Parliament of england had no suited to impose its authority on colonists who did not have an element in electing it. So from their perspective the 7 years conflict victory replaced into actual a conquest from the Westminster parliament over their colonial assemblies. So from the British perspective the colonies weren't paying their trustworthy share to the value of retaining the empire, and from the yank the British have been treating them as a conquered human beings and not as a companion contained in the broader British international. many human beings from the two factors of the Atlantic ought to understand the different area's viewpoint, so it may be simplistic to assert it extremely is how every person perceived the region, yet extra or much less the conflict of Independence replaced into brought about via the two factors desiring some thing probably very existence like and the two being intransigent of their pursuit of it.

Both American and British people are at fault. For one thing, the Brits didn't follow their own rules. The Americans demanded their rights for the first time since Bacons Rebellion so...

No they were in it together, the powers in America & Britten were of the same molds, and this was a legal way to steel the new world from France and Spain and as you can see it worked and is still working.
England is the mother country, ask yourself what country were our leaders, England.
Its been a scam for over 200 years.

Of course not, the very existence of Canada proves that. We found nothing in their behaviour worth revolting over.
But the American colinies were settled by puritans, people who had lost power in England after the death of Cromwell. They were determined to get that power back, and would have fought Britain no matter what they did.

bet your crowned jewels they started it they taxed the colonies without giving them any representation in British Parliament! Americans refused to continue paying the outrageous taxes and remain without representation. The British refused to accommodate them, and there started the revolutionary war!

it depends on your opinion. They did give taxation without representation...
But the founding fathers writing the Declaration of Independence is what really started it.
