Why were the original thirteen colonies east of the Appalachian mountains?
Royal proclamation of 1763. After the French and Indian wars the British had won the Ohio valley territory (Basically everything from the East coast to the Mississippi river). However, the British did not want the colonies to settle west of the Appalachian mountains because they were having enough problems controlling them while they were relatively close on the coastal colonies. So, most of the land between the mountains and the Mississippi river became Indian territory although a few adventurous souls did settle there. After the colonies broke free of England they began to settle the Ohio valley. We stopped there until after the Louisiana purchase got us even more land. Finally we took the west coast from Mexican/Spanish control.
When did us slave trade take place?
The US Slave Trade took place in the 1700's. It involved 3 major stops to get various items from each continent. It stopped in England to acquire guns and other weapons. It then went to West Africa and boarded the ships with many African American Slaves. They then shipped them across the Atlantic to the 13 Colonies where they would work the fields. The ships then took many crops back to England.
Why did the colonists think that they should not be taxed by the british gvernment?
Because parliament was not financially supporting the colonists with the tax only those left in England so they stopped paying. Also until the war I imagine there was no one around to make them pay.
Hod did the colonist fight british restrictions on trade?
WELL, since you're asking the question you're probably already aware of how England was all into Mercantalism which is basically the belief in which colonies exist to support the mother country. The idea was that the colonies could only purchase goods from England, thus, helping the mother nation and damage trade with rival nations such as France, Spain, and the Netherlands. However, in the beginning, England was very, very lax about this policy in the beginning.Distance was one reason for the laxness. The American colonies were miles and miles across the Atlantic Ocean-- the English simply did not have enough time to make sure they colonists were behaving and purchasing exclusively British goods. Sure, there was a board of trade in the colonies that was supposed to supervise it but they let the colonies get away with a lot of things. The colonists were very aware of this and decided to conduct trade with other nations behind England's back. In all honesty, the colonists probably wouldn't have made much of a fuss over trading with other nations but the instant England said, "Don't" it spiked the colonists interest. Think of it like this: As soon as your parents told you to not date that boy/girl, you suddenly became 10 times more interested in them. The colonists saw that the prices for some things were cheaper and began to purchase goods from the other countries.England eventually decided to buckle down and became stricter on trade. This resulted in many colonists going back to English goods but many still did not want to spend extra money on those goods so they made their own. Who wants to pay hundreds of dollars on a fancy, decorated chair when you can go out and cut one of the hundreds of thousands of trees in colonial America and make your own chair? Others continued to trade with the French, Spanish, and Dutch-- via smuggling.The above forms of resistance that are considered pre-Revolutionary era, before acts such as the Townsend and Intolerable acts. The below results are in response to the acts that were passed:In short, we basically just continued doing what we had always done only we were a bit more obvious about it. After awhile it was kind of like, "Who gives a care about what England sees?" They stopped purchasing British goods, continued to smuggle items, and even found alternatives for British goods. For example, after the tea tax was passed, many Americans turned to coffee or tried to make their own teas using roots, berries, etc.
