Americans talk about themselves in the highest degree a lot of times. Stating they are the greatest at this and the best at that. Americans are very idealistic and truly believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as inalienable rights. The American Revolution was really about money because many wealthy colonial merchants and
plantation owners refused to pay their taxes any longer. The Stamp Act was singled out by the colonies stating that it was unfair and illegal to tax an Englishman without his consent. The Stamp Act was even more absurd in the eyes of the colonies because they didn’t have an representatives levying the tax.
