Some colonists felt loyalty to Britain due to a strong sense of cultural and political connection to the mother country, viewing themselves as British subjects entitled to the rights and protections it offered. Additionally, many believed that British governance was essential for maintaining order and security in the colonies. This loyalty was further reinforced by the fear of instability or chaos that might arise from independence, as well as the economic benefits tied to being part of the British Empire.
The American colonists did not have a say in the laws and taxes, so they felt it was unfair to have them imposed. The American Revolutionary War began in 1775.
The Boston Port Act was an effort on the part of the British to collect money from the colonists to pay for the tea that had been destroyed during the Boston Tea Party. The colonists felt it was unfair to make everyone pay for something that most of them didn't participate in.
The American colonists famously protested against Britain's imposed taxes by declaring, "No taxation without representation." They argued that it was unfair for them to be taxed by a government in which they had no elected representatives. This sentiment fueled their demand for greater political rights and ultimately contributed to the push for independence from British rule.
The main underlying cause of the American Revolution was the poor treatment of the colonists by the British Parliament. Their unfair treatment included high taxation without representation, strict demands, and limited liberties.
people should resist unfair laws (apex)
King George | made the colonist pay unfair taxes
Taxation without Representation Unfair ruling (royals were treated better than civilian) The taxes were used to spend on kingdom
why did American think that the new laws from Great Britain were unfair.
Taxation without representation
The Stamp act was unfair to the colonist because the colonist were being taxed by Parliament without any saying in the taxation. Ergo, "No taxation without Representation!" the colonist just wanted to be represented. Also because it was the Britishs' fault for being in debt because of the french and Indian war. not the colonists'
