No, not all colonists believed it was time to be independent from England. While many, known as Patriots, advocated for independence due to issues like taxation without representation, others, called Loyalists, remained loyal to the British crown and opposed separation. The desire for independence varied widely among different regions and social groups, leading to significant divisions within colonial society. Ultimately, the push for independence gained momentum, but it was far from a unanimous sentiment among all colonists.

How is the French and Indian War a reason for the Revolutionary War?

Tbe colonists help fight the French so that England could gain control of some land west of the Applachian Mountains. Remember at this time, the colonists were still loyal to England. After the French and Indian war, England did not want the colonists to get into fights with the natives on the western side of the colonies. So then the issued the (Royal) Proclmation of 1763, stating that the Colonists could not move west of the Appalachian Mountains. The colonists were really mad at this, because they had just fought a war to gain land, and now they weren't allowed to move onto it.From the war, England was also in a huge debt, so they started taxing the colonists on all sorts of everyday neccesities, and people started having boycotts and protests against the products made from England. Thus, the Revolutionary War eventually started when the colonists got mad enough at England.

How was the U.S. founded based on the colonies as an outgrowth of England?

The United States came into being after a war with England. The conflict had been brewing for decades, but the majority of the colonists were loyal to England so the revolution was put off for a long time. Eventually though, the colonists started becoming more and more unhappy with their political position with England, and sought a reform. For many years, the colonies sent delegates to the English government to discuss changes, but time after time they were denied. In the early 1770's people came to the realization that they would never be considered equals by the English government, and decided that they wanted to become their own country, thus beginning the revolutionary war.


What caused some people in the colonies to demand freedom from the British?

Britain would tax the colonists from across the ocean for their tea, sugar, and any printed things. Some people became Patriots and wanted a war. But others who were Tories were still loyal to the king of England at the time. Also, the colonists had no representatives. So the British would pass rules and laws that the colonists had no say in.

Why would most colonists live east of the Appalachian mountain?

Colonists lived east of the Appalachians because this is the only land England owned at the time. However, after England won the 7 Years' War, they acquired the land west of the Appalachians, so colonists began migrating there. But, there were tensions between the Natives and the colonists so England had to come up with a solution. King George III created the Proclamation of 1763, which stated that the colonists stay east of the Appalachians and the Indians west. Yet, this was no solution. The colonists were angered because they had just went to war for this region and now they can't even settle there. And even worse, the colonists had been paying taxes to fund this war, basically paying for the region that they are forbidden to live in.
