Where the colonies justified in refusing to obey certain british laws and officials?

The Colonists felt that they were justified in refusing to obey certain British laws and officials. With the Stamp act, they were being taxed without having any say in the government that was taxing them. They also did not need the British soldiers telling them what to do, because they felt they were no longer British citizens.


The british withdrew from Boston in 1776 after?

The British withdrew from Boston in 1776 after American troops, led by General Thomas, secured Dorchester Heights with fortifications and cannons. The American forces could hit any British ship in the harbor from this location forcing the British to withdraw.


Were the colonists justified in resisting British policies after the french and Indian war?

The colonists' resistance to British policies after the French and Indian War can be seen as justified due to several factors. The British government imposed new taxes and regulations on the colonists without their consent, leading to a lack of representation in decision-making. Additionally, the colonists believed in the principles of natural rights and self-governance, which clashed with British attempts to assert control over the colonies. The resistance can also be viewed as a response to perceived injustices and violations of their rights, ultimately leading to the American Revolution.


What city was captured by the British in 1776 and not retaken by the Colonial army?

New York City was the only major city held by the British throughout the Revolutionary War. The British held Boston at the beginning of the war, but withdrew in March of 1776; they captured New York in September. The British captured Newport, Rhode Island, in 1776 but left in 1779, to concentrate their forces in New York. The French took over Newport and used it as their base of operations for the rest of the war. That prompted the British to withdraw from Philadelphia, which they had captured in 1777, to further reinforce their stronghold in New York.


What caused the British government to take more interest in the American colonies?

There were several factors that all worked together to draw Britain's attention to the American colonies. The first factor was France and Spain's withdraw from the American colonies, leaving Britain as the only control. The thirteen colonies between South Carolina and Main had also grown in trade and economy. The colonies had also developed urban centers and large populations, this meant that the colonies had a strong economy and society independent from the British government which drew Britain's attention.
