Yankees. But instead of feeling insulted, the colonists adopted the name.
rebel
yes yes it is
The British tried to tax the colonists for all goods and services, and the colonists finally refused to pay and dumped all the English tea in the Boston Harbor, which came to be known as the Boston Tea Party. Next came the Revolutionary War, which the colonists won and signed the Declaration of Independence and won their independence from England.
The most tangible colonial protes to the Townshend Act was the revival of an agreement not to import British goods, especially luxury products. The Non-importation agreement slowly grew to include merchants in all of the colonies, with the exception of New Hampshire. Within a year importation from Britain dropped almost in half. he American Colonists realized that they should not be taken for granted anymore. The wanted to be their own colony now. They hated the fact that everything they did was under the British government. So in order to try to make British lower taxes, they boycottehe colonists were tired of being taxed with no say in government. After their appeals and petitions were repeatedly denied by Parliament, the colonists began boycotting British goods. The colonists knew that if they wanted to get attention from the British, they needed to attack their economy.
The colonists eventually decided that they wanted to be a sovergin nation but at first they felt that they should have a say, or representation, in the British legislation, Parliament. "No taxation without representation" was a popular slogan for the colonists. Fair representation in Parliament wouldn't have gotten the colonists what they really wanted, they would just have been out voted by other members of Parliament. The colonists felt that if they were to be taxed and forced to comply with British law set by a far-away nation who couldn't understand the needs of the Colonies, that they should at least have a say in what goes on concerning their way of life. It was more of the principle of the matter that really rallied the colonists against the British. This, along with other issues led to the American Revolution which the Colonies fight for their freedom from Great Britain after the British refused to reconize them as an emerging, sovergin nation,
During the American Revolutionary Period, the colonists organized resistance to British control in numerous ways. Before the outbreak of actual hostilities, they collected and stored arms, made plans for mobilization, and wrote then circulated documents which drummed up patriotic fervor while also articulating the basis for a new government and nation. All of these same activities continued once the war formally began, with the addition of the formation of an actual government and of armies trained to secure independence through military action.
