An example of this is Thomas Paines pamphlet "common sense", in this pamphlet he states that it is preposterous for a small island nation such as Britain to control such a large amount of land at such a large distance away. It is very important to not that it took about a 6 month trip by boat to get to the colonies. Which caused the colonies to feel essentially free because no laws told them otherwise, so when King George III put in new acts and laws without the colonies permission they revolted. the colonies did this because they were used to the old ways of "pure freedom".   ]]> 2016-09-15 16:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124123313 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151428 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was Britain's disregard for colonial rights.

It took a long time for congress to come to the conclusion to declare independence from British sovereignty. 

For example the battle of Lexington and Concord was the first foray of colonial confrontation.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151428 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151436 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was creation of the Intolerable Acts. These policies were significant because colonists were punished by the British government for trying to protest against policies they disagreed with. Their lack of power in their own government made the colonists want a government that would benefit them rather than hinder them. ]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151436 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151443 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War
was the first shot that was taken at Lexington and Concord. This represents the first battle taken place between British troops and colonists. This event way a key cause because foreshadowed the future of fights between the colonies, which in time became what we know as the American Revolution.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151443 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151447 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was the French and Indian War starting in 1754. Britian now fighting their own European wars on American soil, the colonists get frustrated and introduced the Proclamation of 1763. The Olive Branch Petition in 1775 resulted in the colonists seeing Britian's ideals for mercantilism and colonization. ]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151447 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151455 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was the Intolerable Acts enacted by the British. Before the war, the colonists weren't taxed on anything besides tea, which was at a very low cost. However, the British had started to tax the Colonists for their own benefits on items such as paper, glass and higher price tax on tea.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151455 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151456 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was Boston Massacre that occurred. This had renewed the further conflict between the British soldiers and the New England colonist. The soldiers fired into the crowd of colonist which killed 5 colonist which ignited further conflict between them]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151456 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151457 The most significant cause of the American Revolution was the Parliament's control over the colonies and their society. The British Parliament was involved in every aspect of America's colonies, from changing their taxes and trade systems with the Intolerable Acts to occupying their land by bringing troops to their territory. This was the most significant cause of the Revolution because it kept America's colonies from expanding as they wished to, and kept them from achieving their ultimate goal of freedom.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151457 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151485 The greatest cause of the Revolutionary War was the colonists lack of representation in parliament. When Britain taxed the colonists for the weapon costs in The French and Indian war that the colonists wanted no part of; but they were forced to pay without any representation by the colonists to disallow the taxes to go through, this made the colonists very upset. This resulted in the Boston Tea Party that the colonists made their point about how they shouldn't have to pay the tax.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151485 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151497 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was the Parliament's lack of representing the Colonies in legislature and the amount of control they exerted over the colonies.  The Parliament enacted the Tea act which made levying taxes hard in the Colonies. The Colonies lack of representation and lack of control for their own destinies was enough to start war.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151497 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151504 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was King George the 3 passing the Parliament's Prohibition, which declared the colonies in a state of rebellion. The colonies had tried to redress their grievances in 1775 through the creation of the Olive Branch Petition, which the king dismissed. The colonists originally didn't want to split from Britain, but since the king refused to acknowledge them, they were left with no choice but to sever all ties with Britain. ]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151504 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151509 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was the Battle of Bunker Hill.  British soldiers had attempted to siege a hill fortified by a group of colonists. This led to casualties on both sides, with over 1000 casualties on the British side. This shamed Britain, the most powerful nation in the world at the time, and caused them to send more troops to the colonies, leading to future battles.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151509 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151530 The most significant cause of the American Revolutionary War was the end of Salutary Neglect. After generation of self governing the British began to intervene, and enacted policies that infuriated many colonist. The Proclamation of 1763, implemented by Parliament, was in contrast of the Colonial view of westward expansion into fertile and valuable land.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151530 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151533 The most significant cause of the American Revolution was the Intolerable Acts.

After trying petitions and pleading with the king Britain would still not let the colonies have their independence. An example would be when the colonies sent the Olive Branch Petition to King George III and he dismissed their plea and forbade all trade.]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151536 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151582 The most significant cause of the revolutionary war was the Brutal tax that the British government had put on the colonies. This is the most significant becuase it caused the colonies to not want the British to rule and have all of hte power over what they do. They show this by wanting ti become independent a lot more than they did before. They did not want the British to waste money the way they did and in the end they ended up taxing the colonists even though they did not agree with them]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151582 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151598 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary war was the intolerable acts. For example, the intolerable acts were a punishment made by the British for the colonists rebellious actions which took away colonial rights and freedoms. That made the colonists angry and that became the influence for the first continental congress. The petitions the colonists made to the crown with the crown's angry rejection, then led to the Revolutionary war. ]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151598 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151636 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary War was the Intolerable Acts. the colonies had been dealing with Solitary Neglect for almost one and a half centuries and have grown used to living this way and when were forced into change they revolted.  an example is when the colonists in Boston dressed as natives and destroyed smuggler and British ships as well as cargo]]> 2016-09-15 17:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124151636 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124152663 The most significant cause of the Revolutionary war would be the passing of the intolerable acts.

This put a tax on any document and because of all the other taxes along with this one, it angered the colonists and they believed they were forced to take action. The colonists started to avoid any relationship between the British, so they decided to separate and go against their government.

The British placed a tax on British tea imported into the colonies; the colonist refused to purchase the tea because they refused to support Britain and the British East India Company.  This caused the colonies to rebel by pouring 342 chests of tea into the harbor in 1773.  This lead to further conflicts and disagreements between the British and the colonies.]]> 2016-09-15 17:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124153206 https://padlet.com/leigh_weldin/earuly4ijhlb/wish/124153361 the intolerable acts are most significant because these acts sparked the most anger in the colonists.
