Taxation without Representation
The Sons of Liberty, a resistance group formed in the American colonies, called for the rejection of British taxation without representation. They organized protests, boycotts of British goods, and public demonstrations to rally colonists against the Stamp Act and other tax measures imposed by Parliament. Their rallying cry emphasized the rights of the colonists to govern themselves and resist oppressive legislation, ultimately leading to increased tensions that contributed to the American Revolution.
Colonists cried "no taxation without representation" because they believed it was unfair to be taxed by the British government without having a representative in Parliament to voice their interests. They felt that their rights as English subjects were being violated, as they had no say in the laws that affected them. This slogan became a rallying cry for the American Revolution, highlighting the demand for political representation and self-governance. The colonists wanted to ensure that they had a voice in the decisions that impacted their lives and livelihoods.
The defenders of the Alamo were greatly outnumbered but fought on to give the American Army time to rally against the Mexican Army. Remember the Alamo became a rallying cry of the war with Mexico.
