    Before the year 1763, many colonists were proud to be a part of England, but the year 1763 would juristically change that. England had used their militia from the colonies to aid them in the French and Indian war. England promised that after the war they would be given land west of the Appalachian Mountains. Then, there was tension between England and the Natives Americans, and that prevented England to give colonists their promised lands. The act that prevented colonists to move westward was called the Proclamation of 1763.…

The type of government was known as the county-town, sometimes call the mixed system which came from the proximity of New England and also the Southern Colonies, somewhat from the character of the population as well as from the climate and physiography of the country. That made life of necessity a medium between those of the New England village and the southern plantation. In New York the township had possessed basically all the powers in the local government.

    Centralization was a significant reason that the colonists wanted independence. The separated country had a system in which the colonies would ship materials to the mainland and then they would sell goods back to the colonies at a higher price. However, Britain tightened its control as the colonies became more successful. A series of Navigation Acts were passed in 1651 that banned foreign trade and placed many limitations on English and colonial ports. Although these had been made to help the economy by controlling trade, it was a glimpse into what the colonists had in store for them.…

    England had little structure in place to manage the daily activities of colonial affairs in the early 1700’s. As a result of this disconnect, the colonists took it upon themselves to set taxes, pass laws, and make appropriations (Brinkley 102). Following the Seven Years’ War between England and France, and the simultaneous French and Indian war in America, England was determined to unify its new empire and raise funds to pay off their enormous war debts (Hyser 61). Parliament unleashed sweeping changes in the coming years, and as these changes accumulated, tensions rose among the colonists. Fundamental differences in philosophies became clear, including limits to personal liberties, the concept of taxation, and the abundant presence of British…

    Before Africans were brought to America during the slave trade, they had their own culture and society. They had their own language and dance. They also had their own religion. History tells us that the Europeans justified their abuse toward the Africans as helping them become more civilized because the Africans lifestyle appeared primal to them and not as developed and industrialized as theirs. What is often overlooked is that even though Africans were taken from Africa and Americanized and have been stripped of their religion, culture, language and even their name, the very essence of the African as a people did not go away.…
