Defining any matter is always a process. Weeding through the significant and insignificant ideas of a subject is a tedious task. Hopefully the noteworthy events will be conveyed through this paper siding that the colonies by the time of the American Revolution were more similar than different.
When you begin to analyze the American Revolution you must first look to the past and the beginning of each individual colony. The New England colonies were very different from the middle and southern colonies. The New England colonies included Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The middle colonies consisted of four great states Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. The middle colonies were settled for monetary gain or religious freedom. The southern colonists were family oriented and money hungry immigrants. All three divisions made up the thread that wove America, a place for freedom.
Whenever opposition wants to be successful it must be connected and focused on the same goal. The American Revolution was a collective response to a draining monarchy. America was very different in how it fueled its economy but deathly similar in its vision for a free country and an aware and thoughtful nation. These points unite America and cause them to propose the idea of a “united state of America”
As America became more aware of its power and Englands deficiency like a teenager it began to test the limits of it mothering nation, England. England began to realize that America was not just thirteen colonies but that it was turning into one voice. Many acts were put into place to muffle the cry of Americans wanting to break away from it parent. The Quartering Act allowed English soldiers to stay in civilians homes for as long as they pleased and regulate home life. This act was only one of the Intolerable Acts passed before the American Revolution.
One of the many sayings turned clichД© is “no taxation without representation” to say the least this statement is what made the colonies more similar than different by the time of the American Revolution. England pushed and pushed taxes but had no army to defend themselves. Once the American people decided that they could defeat their own nagging mothers they annihilated and conquered “their” country.
