Whig ideology was the world view of revolutionists. The held a deep distrust of government power. Although they viewed this power necessary for sustaining liberty, they knew that it was dangerous. Whig ideology felt that bad things happen because people bring them about. Those carrying this ideology also felt that absolute power and tyranny of British meant enslavement for Americans. This was not a new thought, but it was starting to be believed. In short this ideology = distrust of power. Whig ideology shaped many thoughts prior to revolution.

It was a big deal, and that's when they started thinking that they would either need some changes or they should have a revolution.


Should the American Revolution be called the British revolution because marked changes in British colonial policy were more responsible for the final political division?

It was the people of the 13 Colonies who fought for and gained their freedom; it was THEIR revolution, their victory and their freedom. Now, it so happens that the colonies were provoked by the British government, which later learned a thing or two from the events of 1775-83, but that doesn't make it their revolution. In fact, the thinking behind it is odd. Would it occur to you to call the slaves' rebellion in Haiti 'French', for example? Yes, it's true. British policy changed following the American Revolution, but it SHOULD be called the American Revolution, because it was the AMERICANS who revolted.


Was the penny more than 1 cent?

If you're referring to US coins commonly called pennies, the words have always referred to the same coin. It's a holdover from Colonial times when the US used British coins. But in fact, there is no US coin officially called a penny, even though we all use that term. If you want to know the relationship between a British penny and a US cent, the two coins have rarely been worth the same amount due to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the British pound. Ant that doesn't even take into account the fact that the number of pence in a pound was changed from 240 to 100 back in 1971.


Why had America adopted right hand drive instead of the universal left hand drive?

I think Right hand drive, Electric lighting swith-on positions or changes in English language were part of the reactions to the colonial rule in America- that is not to do what the colonisers used to do.


What part of the British government passed the acts?

The British gov't works like Canada's. Acts and bills originate in the House of Commons, where they are then sent to the Senate. The senate acts as "a sober second thought" and advises changes which may need to be made. If there are no issues, then the bill is forwarded to the Queen who has the final say. She then signs the bill, and it becomes a law.

What was the reaction of the British to the Indian mutiny?

The British reaction to the Indian mutiny of 1857 was one of shock and outrage, leading to a brutal suppression of the uprising. The British authorities viewed the rebellion as a serious threat to their rule in India, prompting a military response that involved widespread reprisals against suspected rebels and civilians.

This event also intensified racial tensions and led to a more militarized approach to colonial administration.
