American Revolution
()
About this ebook
Thirteen colonies which are now a part of United States of
America were initially colonies of Great Britain. People were
discontented with the British rule and rebels evoked among the
colonies. People were getting exhausted of the horrendous taxes
that were imposed on them. In 1746, the Revenue Act made it
obligatory for the King to tax the thirteen colonies whether they
liked it or not which eventually led to a war. The local
practices, social and religious customs of the Americans were
swerving ominously from the English ways and added to the
budding causes of conflicts. Mercantilism and Navigation Acts
were policies favoured by the British in order to control trade
in British interest; however these were loosely enforced allowing
colonies to grow spontaneously with negligible intrusion from the
British.
The Treaty of Paris officially documented the new nation in
1783 with many questions still unanswered. United Stated
splashed through a post war depression only to confront
administrative problems under the Articles of Confederation.
The new leaders of the country were people who were visible
on the Revolution fields or council halls and the country's first
three Presidents were George Washington, John Adams and
Thomas Jefferson. The more radical leaders of the Revolution
were unhappy with the turn towards obscurantism once the
war was over, but democracy and liberty had now been
secured as the utmost ideals of the free nation.
The Revolution had an inordinate impact on liberal beliefs all
over Europe. The scuffles and achievements of the young
democracy were much in the thoughts of those who brought
about the French Revolution, and most definitely later helped to
stimulate revolutionists in Spain's American colonies.
