If America wins the American Revolution, it will lead to the birth of a new nation. However, before the American Revolution, America's original colonies were already growing impatient with British rule. This was primarily the result of a foreign country trying to govern people an ocean away, and to govern that meant collecting taxes that Americans felt were unfair. This rebellion against British rule became more widespread with the passage of the Stamp Act of 1765, created primarily by George Greenville. The passage of this tax was Britain's way of strengthening its authority in the colonies and alleviating their financial burden. However, from the British perspective this was not the sole purpose of the Acts as they also wanted to build a defense against foreign nations and ensure that Britain benefited from its Acts of Trade (Alden 4). This ideology of easing their burden by taxing the colonies immediately failed, because the colonist refused to pay taxes at all costs. It became impossible to sell the stamps and anyone who dared to try was threatened with violence. The rebellious nature of Americans against new methods of taxation led to the creation of the Stamp Act Congress. The Stamp Act Congress denied the right of parliament to impose an internal tax in the colonies and gave voice to American discontent. The colonist insisted that the detested law be repealed and strengthened their demand by refusing to import British goods. Leading Britain to become enraged at its distant subjects when the colonist began declaring acts of tyranny against them. With the rejection of British imports to America and continuing riots, British troops were sent to Boston to protect the customs commissioners, but were met by angry colonists leading to the Boston Massacre...middle of paper...like war it became more expensive and was no longer worth Britain's problems as America made it clear that they would continue the fight. As a result, the Thirteen Colonies became the United States of America and no longer part of the British Empire by the summer of 1776. In conclusion, the American Revolution was not just another war, but for lack of better words a teenager who fought his own parents to receive independence. However, Britain felt that this was an attack by the colonies that they were desperately trying to protect with misguided actions such as the imposition of what were considered unconstitutional taxes. If it were not for the union of the settlers of the time, the United States would not be the world superpower that it is today. The American Revolution was essentially the beginning of something great and a decisive moment in establishing the identity of the United States as a separate entity.
