Answer 5

I'm doing a subject in that right now too so I might be able to help. :) King George the third:
*Took away their natural rights.
*Forced people to pay taxes that they didn't agree to pay.
*Forced the people to quarter soldiers.

I kinda only know these three, but the people eventually got tired of how the king was treating them. They sent redress, but the king ignored them. After a while they decided it was time to break away from great Britian. Not a lot of people supported the idea at first, but then when Thomas Paine published a book called "Common Sense" it became very popular. The book told of all the bad things King george did over the years and supported natural rights. There was soon a big meeting to write a paper that will break them away from great Britain. After this was talked over, they chose someone to write it. After it was finally written it was named "The Decleration of Independence." It was written by Thomas Jefferson at age 33yrs old. It took 2 days. If you want to learn a bit more here is a video. ^^ hope I helped. http://app.discoveryeducation.com/player/?assetGuid=8E409D29-64D5-4796-9440-AF5FD987ED16&fromMyDe=0&isPrinterFriendly=0&provider=&isLessonFromHealth=0&productcode=US&isAssigned=false&includeHeader=YES&homeworkGuid=

Answer 7

Stamp Tax. Taxation without Representation. Forced housing of British troops in homes of Colonists. Tea Tax. Forcing Colonists to sell their goods only to England or English companies, screwing them on the price and payment. Forcing Colonists to use only English ships. Forcing Colonists to buy products made in England and not other nations.

Answer 8

Here you go:

By the middle of the 1700s, English colonists living in America had set up their own governments in towns and colonies. They usually made their own laws and chose the people they wanted to represent them. In 1760, King George III became the ruler of Great Britain and decided to take more control of the colonies. King George and the English Parliament passed taxes and laws that the colonists hated and felt were unfair. In 1754, war broke out in Europe between England and France. It was called the French and Indian War by the colonies because the English were fighting the French and their Native American allies, the Huron. The two countries were fighting for control of North America. The French and Indian War was a long, brutal war and when it ended England was in debt. Because the war was fought over control of North America, King George III decided to tax the colonists. The colonies hated this taxation. Taxation was a major cause of the War for Independence in America.

The earliest cause of the War for Independence was the Domination of New England, in which King George tried to control colonial legislatures. King George was afraid that New England was becoming too powerful. Next, the Proclamation of 1763 set all lands west of the Appalachians off limits to colonists. The colonists hated this because they were already farming in the lands west of the Appalachians. In 1764, the Sugar Act taxed all sugar products from Great Britain. The colonists thought this was unfair. Then, in 1765, the Quartering and Stamp Acts were enacted. The Quartering Act forced colonists to house British soldiers. The Stamp Act put a tax on all of the legal documents including newspapers, pamphlets, passports, etc. The Stamp Act Congress was formed by the colonists to remove the Stamp Act.

In 1766, the Declaratory Act stated that England could tax the colonies whenever it wanted. In 1767, the Townshend Acts imposed a tax on every day goods imported from Britain. The colonists were so mad they boycotted British goods. The colonists protested in Boston demanding England repeal the Townshend Acts. Britain stationed soldiers in the colonies. This made the colonists even angrier than ever. Their protests became violent. They hurled rocks and snowballs at the soldiers. They attacked shopkeepers that tried to enforce the taxes and made them quit their jobs.

In March of 1770, the colonists demonstrated in Boston by attacking the British main guard. British soldiers fired and five men lay dead in the snow. The colonists went wild. They called this the Boston Massacre.Their protests got more violent until finally, England repealed all Townshend Acts. After a while, the confusion and excitement died down.

After a few years of peace,England began taxing again. In 1773, Britain passed the Tea Act, which was a tax on tea. One night a ship full of tea was sitting unguarded in the Boston Harbor . A group of colonists, called The Sons of Liberty, dressed up as Mohawk Indians and dumped all of the tea into the harbor. We know this act of defiance to be The Boston Tea Party. The British were so mad they passed the Coercive Acts, dubbed by the colonists the "Intolerable Acts." England blockaded Boston Harbor and forbid townmeetings from all colonies. The Intolerable Acts triggered the First Continental Congress to ask Britain to repeal the Intolerable Acts but King George remained stubborn.

After the First Continental Congress failed, the Second Congress was formed. They met for a long time. Meanwhile the colonies had been forming an army of over 5,000 men. Some battles had already taken place. A Declaration of Independence was being written and was finally signed on July 4, 1776 resulting in the struggle for freedom and England.

In 1774, a group of colonial leaders met (the First Continental Congress) and wrote a letter to the king declaring they were loyal subjects and asking him to let them elect their own leaders and make their own laws. King George ignored the colonists' complaints and said the colonies were in rebellion.

The colonists felt that England and the king had abused their power. And as the Declaration of Independence states, when this happens to people, "It is their right, their duty, to throw off such Government."

Answer 9

I am Billy Buckingham of Stoneflower, Massachusetts. As a local pastor, I have always been a strong supporter of the British government and have been loyal through and through. My life has changed ever since the end of the French and Indian War because I have seen many of my congregants grow angrier and angrier, but not me.

Answer 10

The American Revolutionary War began when armed conflict between British regulars and colonial militiamen broke out in New England in April 1775. A month later, delegates of the thirteen British colonies drafted a peace proposal known as the Olive Branch Petition. The proposal was quickly rejected in London because fighting had already erupted. A year later, on July 4, 1776 (American Independence Day), the colonies declared their independence from the Crown and became a new nation, the "United States of America". The Declaration was a long list of grievances against the British King, legislature, and populace. Amongst George's other offences, the Declaration charged, "He has abdicated Government here... He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people." George was indignant when he learned of the opinions of the colonists. In the war the British captured New York City in 1776, but the grand strategic plan of invading from Canada failed with the surrender of the British Lieutenant-General John Burgoyne at the Battle of Saratoga. In 1778, France (Great Britain's chief rival) signed a treaty of friendship with the new United States. Lord North asked to transfer power to Lord Chatham, whom he thought more capable. George, however, would hear nothing of such suggestions; he suggested that Chatham serve as a subordinate minister in Lord North's administration. Chatham refused to cooperate, and died later in the same year.[20] Great Britain was then at war with France, and in 1779 it was also at war with Spain.

George III obstinately tried to keep Great Britain at war with the revolutionaries in America, despite the opinions of his own ministers. Lord Gower and Lord Weymouth both resigned rather than suffer the indignity of being associated with the war. Lord North advised George III that his (North's) opinion matched that of his ministerial colleagues, but stayed in office. Eventually, George gave up hope of subduing America by more armies. "It was a joke," he said, "to think of keeping Pennsylvania". There was no hope of ever recovering New England. But the King was determined "never to acknowledge the independence of the Americans, and to punish their contumacy by the indefinite prolongation of a war which promised to be eternal."[21] His plan was to keep the 30,000 men garrisoned in New York, Rhode Island, in Canada, and in Florida; other forces would attack the French and Spanish in the West Indies. To punish the Americans the King planned to destroy their coasting-trade, bombard their ports, sack and burn towns along the coast (like New London, Connecticut), and turn loose the Indians to attack civilians in frontier settlements. These operations, the King felt, would inspire the Loyalists; would splinter the Congress; and "would keep the rebels harassed, anxious, and poor, until the day when, by a natural and inevitable process, discontent and disappointment were converted into penitence and remorse" and they would beg to return to his authority.[22] The plan meant destruction for the Loyalists and loyal Indians, and indefinite prolongation of a costly war, as well as the risk of disaster as the French and Spanish were assembling an armada to invade the British isles and seize London.

In 1781, the news of Lord Cornwallis's surrender at the Siege of Yorktown reached London; Lord North's parliamentary support ebbed away and he subsequently resigned in 1782. After Lord North persuaded the king against abdicating,[23] George III finally accepted the defeat in North America, and authorised the negotiation of a peace. The Treaty of Paris and the associated Treaty of Versailles were ratified in 1783. The former treaty provided for the recognition of the United States by Great Britain. The latter required Great Britain to give up Florida to Spain and to grant access to the waters of Newfoundland to France. When John Adams was appointed American Minister to Britain in 1785, George had become resigned to the new relationship between his country and the United States, "I was the last to consent to the separation; but" he told Adams, "I would be the first to meet the friendship of the United States as an independent power
