American Revolution Essay
|
|
From 1763, Americans had only to be convinced that an arbitrary
|
|
ruler-whether Parliament or King-was violating their inherent rights, to
|
|
feel that rebellion was justified. This conviction was bred in them by the
|
|
series of events that occurred between 1763 and 1776. The language used to
|
|
protest the British Acts was legal, and political. But the primary cause of
|
|
the Revolution is economics.
|
|
|
|
In theory the colonists accepted the principle that natural laws
|
|
rather than royal decrees should govern the economy. In practice only the
|
|
southern colonies were bound to England by the tobacco trade. The New
|
|
England and Middle Colonies, unable to find markets in Britain, found
|
|
prosperity by trading outside the empire. Any attempt to stop this trade
|
|
would lead to rebellion and consequentially ensued. The idea of
|
|
mercantilism where the channelizing of all trade through England, was a
|
|
restriction upon economic prosperity of the New England colony.
|
|
|
|
The major cause for revolution within the economic theory is of
|
|
economic subordination of colonies to England. The Grenville Ministry
|
|
passed a number of acts, but the main act of provocation to the colonists
|
|
was the stamp act. The stamp act was protested upon the principle of "no
|
|
taxation without representation". The stamp act was affecting virtually
|
|
all the colonists, and restricted economic prosperity, thus it was
|
|
protested by colonists. The Townshend acts were also a factor in the
|
|
economic theory, Sam Adams had said "The parliament was taxing illegally!",
|
|
most colonists agreed, and a boycott of British goods resulted. When the
|
|
British passed the Currency act, this left the paper money worthless, and
|
|
the colonists had to rely (economically) on England for Hard Currency. The
|
|
main reason for revolution was economics.
|
|
|
|
The colonies were economically subordinate to England by the tea and
|
|
coercive acts. The tea act was an act where the colonist middlemen
|
|
merchants were being bypassed, and the trading was done by the British.
|
|
This hurt the economic prosperity of the colonists, mobs had strengthened
|
|
in anger and the Boston T.tea Party followed. The British were irate at the
|
|
colonial resistance to british law, therefore the British passed the
|
|
Coercive Act or "Intolerable Act". The Intolerable act closed off the
|
|
Boston Port, which closed off the center of economic prosperity (trading)
|
|
of New England. England was also limiting the colonists to raw material
|
|
production, which hindered the colonists' economic prosperity. The main
|
|
reason for the revolution was economic.
|
|
|
|
Their are many other reasons that do not support the economic theory
|
|
but support the political theories. The Proclamation of 1763 restricted the
|
|
settlement west of the Appalachians. This was done because the British had
|
|
wanted to avoid conflict with the Indians. The colonists perceived this as
|
|
a illegal act of restricting the colonists to a specific area.
|
|
|
|
The writs of assistance is an example of a political liberty being
|
|
narrowed in abolishing the right of privacy for the colonists. Colonial
|
|
ideology was also a constituent in how the colonists viewed England. The
|
|
colonists saw a conspiracy to destroy their liberty in British policies.
|
|
Thus, when the colonists were forming the Declaration of Independence, the
|
|
main goal was to show the Americans' concern for the importance of
|
|
liberty.
|
|
|
|
The statement "The primary cause of the American Revolution is
|
|
economics." is a very strong dictum which can be proved, but the American
|
|
Revolution also was caused by a restriction of colonial liberty. The
|
|
majority of the policies that affected the colonists between 1763 and 1776
|
|
were economic changes that limited the economic success of the colonies,
|
|
furthermore, these policies also had negative political influences that led
|
|
to the American revolution.
