Causes of the American Revolution
Its to late to apologize BRITAIN!
Mercantilism
Mercantilism is the flow of wealth from the colonies to the mother country.The colonies at first did not realize that Britain was using them.When the colonies never got anything in return,they reacted by smuggling goods to and from other countries.
Stamp Acts
The stamp acts was a law passed by Britain.It made the colonies pay taxes on any printed good. Such as the newspaper,playing cards,constitutions,or any written document.This angered the colonies.Just one more thing that lead to the WAR.
Boston Tea Party/Tea Act
The Tea Act was when Britain taxed the Colonies tea. In response to this the Sons of Liberty dumped all of Britain's tea into the Boston harbor. The tea act was one of the final straws in a series if taxes. In other words the Colonies were fed up with Britain.
Proclamation of 1763
The Proclamation of 1763 forbade the Colonies from moving west of the Appalachian mountains. This really,really angered the Colonies. They fought for Britain and Britain gave them nothing in return but poo. For me this was one of biggest things that made us want to declare independence.
