American Revolution: The Revolt Against Britain
-------------------------------------------------
American Revolution
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
The American Revolution was the revolt against Britain over different ideals and principles. Throughout the years of establishment American colonies and British government began to develop many conflicts. From the start of the first English settlement in Jamestown, to the English Civil War, French and Indian War, the Declaratory Act, Boston Massacre, all built up to the final and main cause of the American Revolution, which was the battle of Lexington and Concord.
-------------------------------------------------
When Jamestown was first founded only 104 men had endured the journey from England to the New World. Because the new colonists were unknowledgeable of the West property in America, they had chosen a peninsula in order to avoid conflict with Indians. The men quickly began to have internal conflicts within the council because many of them feared and hated each other. More settlers began to move to the countryside in order to maintain their tobacco farms. Eventually the town was destroyed by fires in 1676 and the government of Virginia moved inland to Williamsburg in 1699. This contributed to the American Revolution because without the first establishment there would be no America.
-------------------------------------------------
In 1629 Chares the 1st suspended parliament and decided to rule as an absolute monarchy. However, he soon began to run out of money and begged for parliament to levy taxes once again. Kind Charles began to irritate parliament by suspending them again twice in one year. This caused the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642. It was Cavaliers vs. Roundheads. Oliver Cromwell was the leader of the Roundheads and defeated the kings forces in 1649. The significance of this war was for parliament to not levy the taxes the Charles demanded. Parliament
