The Americans thought it was unfair that they could be taxed without having their say in Parliment, such as asking how these taxes were going to be used, and why they were being taxed in the first place. They also thought it was their right to say in Parliment what taxes were unfair to them as British subjects
The American Revolution starting with the revolt against taxation without representation, the colonists staged the Boston tea party. They threw precious tea overboard into Boston harbor causing a riot. This was the beginning of righteous indignation on both sides.
Because most agricultural states like in the south were suffering from enormous taxation and they were losing their representation in the Senate. They knew that if Lincoln was elected they would suffer even more and so they decided they wanted their own government.
During the Revolutionary War, the American colonies fought against Great Britain. The conflict arose from growing tensions over British taxation and lack of representation in Parliament. The war ultimately led to the colonies gaining independence and forming the United States of America.
The rebels attacked the lieutenant in October 1765 primarily in response to the enforcement of the Stamp Act, which imposed taxes on a variety of paper goods without colonial representation. This act fueled widespread resentment against British authority and perceived tyranny. The attack was part of a broader movement of resistance, where colonists sought to assert their rights and challenge the legitimacy of British taxation and governance in America. The incident underscored the growing tensions that would eventually lead to the American Revolution.
The American Revolutionary War lasted from 1775 to 1783, as the thirteen American colonies fought for independence from British rule. Key events included the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the decisive victory at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. The war involved significant figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, and it ultimately led to the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized the United States as an independent nation. The conflict was driven by issues such as taxation without representation and the desire for self-governance.
