You must know that Christopher Columbus discovered the US. After discovering America, the wealthy people of Europe started sharing the US. Spain, Portugal, Holland, France and England have their settlements there. There were 13 colonies of the British in the United States. The British who lived in the colonies were freedom-lovers. They had left the motherland and settled in the colonies to protect their freedom. But when George III (George III of the United Kingdom) wanted to impose his autocratic rule over the colonies, the freedom-loving colonists rebelled. Today, we will read about the subject of American Revolution and in the context of the causes of war and the consequences.
The American Revolution first introduced this example that it is difficult to crush the awakened national sentiment ... remember what we read in the 1857 Indian Revolution? The American Revolution gave the opportunity to increase capitalism. America became the first country to end the hereditary monarchy and establish democracy. The struggle between American colonies and England was compulsory. The reason behind this was that there was such a difference in their political, economic, social and religious life that they could not have a good relationship for more days. If we talk about the causes of American Revolution in America, then in short, we can keep these reasons as follows.
American Revolution’s Causes-
1) Religious differences
The difference in the religious view of the colonists and the British was an important reason for the revolution. Most of the inhabitants of England were inclined towards Anglicanism. They believed in the bishop and the possession of religion, the colonists Puritan were of the opinion. They used to hate the Anglicanism. Bishops and opponents of the possession of religion. Due to religious differences, colonizers did not want to have any kind of relationship with England.
2) Social variation
America's social structure was different from the social structure of the Great Britain. The Society of England was feudal, whereas America's society was democratic. England's society was conservative and artificial, while the American society was fundamental and idealistic. There can never be coordination in a conservative and progressive society. The influence of the rich on British politics was. There was no place for the poor in English politics. The American society did not have the feeling of rich-poor.
3) Unsatisfactory governance
The colonists settled in the colonies had also come with England's beliefs and institutions. The governance of the colonies was unsatisfactory. There was constant conflict in the executive and managerial system. The governor of the colonel was appointed King of England. The Governor had the privilege. The administrative council could also control the Governor's salary by stopping it. The colonizer considered the administrative seat as an all-powerful institution, but the British government considered it a subordinate and a local body. Consequently, the conflict in both of them was natural. The colonists were deprived of political rights. The British rulers thought that the colonists did not have the ability to rule. That is why the British were appointed in large positions only. The British government was dissatisfied with this policy also.
4) Ethnic equality
English blood was also flowing in the colonies' arteries. He was also a priest of freedom and independence like the British and wanted to break the chains of slavery. It was disrespectful to the colonists to be governed by their own people.
5) Settlement towards colonizers of Britain
The persecuted Catholics and Protestants of England settled in the colonies. They wanted to breathe independence there. But when the government of England made the colonies even a territories of tyranny and injustice, they rebelled.
6) Development of the spirit of autonomous rule
Due to the geographical location of America, the Government of England was not interested in the settlements. Due to lack of distance and means of transportation, the government of England was unable to control the colonies. That is why the colonists found themselves in the solution of the governmental problems and found themselves self-governing. In the democratic tradition of England, the Yellow Colonizers wanted to use the qualities of responsible governance.
7) leadership of intellectual class
The leadership of the revolution always leads the intellectual class. The colonists got the slogan of the struggle with the British. Philosophers like John Locke, Rousseau, Walter, Montescu were influenced by the colonists. Authors such as Thomas Penn, James Orris raised a voice against the King's divine authority, and this also made people aware.
8) Trade and Industrial Restrictions
Several types of restrictions were imposed on the commerce of the colonies. He could not have a business rivalry with England and could have had a business relationship with the enemies of England. Import-export of goods was also banned. Import and export of commodities between the British colonies and the colonies and other European countries was done by the British ships. There were also some business laws. Certain items such as cotton, sugar and tobacco could be sent only to England. The ban on production of goods was also banned. The industries of essential commodities, such as colonized iron, cotton cloth, could not separate themselves here. Due to industrial and commercial sanctions, the industrial and commercial progress of the colonies was not getting. The colonists were very dissatisfied with this and they wanted to break the matrimony.
09) The result of the Saptari (Seven Years) war
As a result of this war, the colonists got a sense of self-confidence. American soldiers, in collaboration with British soldiers, fought France in combat. They believed that they could fight well with the British. Due to the improvement in economic conditions and the development of education, there was a middle class born in the colonies who started trying for political independence. People of this class became the forerunners of the American Revolution.
10) Immediate reasons
The American Revolution's improvised Grainville were some of the objectionable works. As a result of the Saptari War, a financial crisis was created. Farmers and laborers wanted to go beyond their limits and populate the land of tribals, but Grainville banned this. Granville strictly implemented the Navigation Act. An admiralty court was established to investigate the cases of thieves. The Molasses Act made in 1733 AD. a British law that imposed a tax on molasses, sugar, and rum imported from non-British foreign colonies in the North American colonies. Grainville showed rudness vigorously in the collections of revenue. British employees were deployed at the ports and the house of taxpayers was searched. A Stamp Act was created in 1765. It is now mandatory to issue government tickets on newspapers, legal papers, mortgage related documents and advertisements.
Due to this law, despatches of colonists, advertisers, lawyers, businessmen suffered heavy losses. Due to protests from the colonists, the Stamp Act was closed in 1766 AD. But it was made clear that the British government had the right to tax the colonies.
