Was The Revolutionary War Inevitable Or Inevitable?

Inevitable Freedom The United States of America could have easily lost the Revolutionary War, along with colonists not constructing the Constitution, but also Colonial Representatives established as a self-governing entity within the British Empire. Amongst all odds, the Colonists managed to pull off their fight for independence from the world’s most notorious empire and military in the world at that time. If the British were to maintain consistency of their politics and policies, could the outcome have had the British victorious causing the Colonies to continue to stay under control? The war and independence could have been inevitable or uncertain due to various reasons. Speculating the long-term results if the British had achieved victory in the Revolutionary War, it would have been somewhat difficult to maintain the colonies indefinitely. As Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense, “...the notion of a relatively tiny island ruling a land so great in both territory and population in perpetuity was a difficult one to reconcile.” It’s not very difficult to reconcile that,
like Canada, the colonies might have broken away, gradually and peacefully, to become an independent entity several years later. Given the example of Canada, the population of the Dominion of Canada was growing to autonomy for the it’s growing population. A movement occurred in Canada (which would have most definitely occurred in America if the colonists were still dependent) that was needed by the people for a common defense, a railroad system, and a solution to the French and British conflict. Britain gave in to the needs and became an independent nation. The story of the colonial uprising was started with taxes, which pretty much explains most of the rebellions and uprisings in history. Such as The Whiskey Rebellion, The Mexican-American War, The Russian Revolution, and many more. This comes to show that tax resistance does get off very easy with any group or nation. In this case, the war was inevitable for the colonists to fight against the crown for their various methods of taxes. This taxation really upset the American minds when the British wouldn’t even let the colonials have representation in Parliament. As the letters of William Pitkin read, “no taxation without representation.” This imperfection would have depraved much of the emotion that led to the Boston Tea Party. Therefore, if the London government hadn’t tried to institute a tax that affected nearly every adult British subject in North America in 1765 (the Stamp Act), American colonists wouldn’t have developed the broad, united opposition to new taxation that lasted through other forms of taxes and other political issues.
The Tea Act was to reduce massive surplus of tea held by the financially troubled British East India Company; to help the company survive.
It was inevitable because in Charleston the cargo was left to rot on the docks.In Boston the Royal Governor was stubborn and held the ships in port where the colonists wouldn’t allow them to unload. Cargoes of tea filled the harbor, and the British ship’s crews were stalled in Boston looking for work and often finding themselves into trouble.
Following the Tea Act led to the Boston Tea Party. Where a raid on three British ships in Boston Harbor in which Boston colonists, disguised as Indians, threw the contents of several hundred chests of tea into the harbor as a protest against British taxes on tea and against the monopoly granted East India Company. It was inevitable because the Parliament were so harsh on the Intolerable Acts that the Boston Tea Party
occurred. The Intolerable Acts were so important because they gave the colonists the final push they needed to win their rights. It also had the force to make the colonists join together as one unit. If the acts had not been imposed on the colonies, they would not have felt the need to amalgamate and form a Congress. At this point, they knew that independence was necessary, and this was their first step to obtain it. In 1775, when Patrick Henry performed his famous speech in front of the House of Burgesses, he concluded with the lines, "Give me Liberty or give me Death!" (Henry). This single line portrays how passionate the colonists were as a whole towards independence. This type of behavior stemmed directly from the Intolerable Acts which in the end brought the colonies together. These terrible but crucial acts not only bonded the colonies but more importantly allowed for the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, one of the most crucial documents in history.
