Good morning class. The colonist had many grievances leading up to the American Revolution. I would have to say that just before it began that disputes over the post war taxations was the last igniter. The boycotting with the Boston Tea Party and the British response to this act, started the motion to war. I would say along with the taxation that Great Britain’s control over colonial trade with the Navigation Acts and Staples Acts was another great motivator for the colonists towards war for their freedom. I would say these points combined with the crown’s overall ruling of the colonies triggered the war, as Pauline Maier said, “it began with the massive failure of British statesmanship.” That statement jumped out at me. Great Britain brought it on themselves.

If I was involved in the American Revolution I would have definitely been a Patriot and done what I could to support the cause, even as a woman. Great Britain was being a tyrant to the colonies, treating them like they were less worthy than the citizens living in Great Britain. The colonists all came to America searching for freedom of something and after the French and Indian War they found themselves being controlled and treated unfairly by the country that was supposed to defend them.

In reading the Declaration of Independence, a statement that jumped out at me was, “He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed lives of our people.” This stood out to me because these acts were done by their own country. I also found it interesting that the grievances are all directly made to the King himself. The key grievances were that the king had refused to agree to laws, forbid governors to pass laws, only agreed to laws of forming districts of people if they gave up right of representation, he paid off judges, sent officers to harass them, sent standing armies without their consent during times of peace, rendered military independent of and superior to civil power, he cut off their trade to the world, he imposed taxes on them without their consent and at times denied them a trial by jury.
