Analyze the ways in which British imperial policies between 1763 and 1776 intensified the colonists’ resistance to British rule and their commitment to republican values.

In other words…

“British imperial policies between 1763 and 1776 greatly intensified the colonists’ resistance to British rule and [made them] lean greatly toward republican values because of the Navigation Act, Declaratory Act, and the Stamp Act.”

“British imperial policies between 1763 and 1776 greatly intensified the colonists’ resistance to British rule and [made them] lean greatly toward republican values because of the Navigation Act, Declaratory Act, and the Stamp Act.”

“The English who sailed to America may not have come with the intention of forming an independent nation, but the imperial policies of the British, their Acts, and this idea that they, as supreme, can tell America what to do, intensified the colonists’ resistance to British rule.”

“From 1763 to 1776 the British implemented a series of policies which caused the colonists to resent and resist British rule. The British established their political dominance and rule, they enforced policies that would profit British mercantilism, as well as implemented many new taxes, all of which intensified the colonists’ resistance to British rule and their commitment to republican values.”

“The British government put taxes on tea. Tea was the main drink for the colonists, and even though they lowered the price to hide the tax on tea, the colonists didn’t like it. That is when the Boston Tea party happened. The colonists boycotted the tea and pushed it off the boats into the ocean.”

“The British imperial policies intensified the colonists’ resistance to British rule and their commitment to republican values by giving the colonists taxation without representation. This was one of the main things that upset the colonists. They felt that they should get a say in what taxes, laws, etc. were placed on them. They felt that it was among their rights to be given representation. This really made being a republican look good because they would then get to vote for someone to represent their wants.”

“After the French and Indian War, Britain had come out on top, and so did their amount of debt. [With]the hundred of millions of pounds they owed, they needed a way to gain back revenue. Taxes were a simple fix, and thus came the many Acts that would soon reach the colonies. First came the Sugar Act, which among other things, taxes sugar. Soon to follow would be both the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. These acts placed taxes on paper items, documents, glass, white lead, and more – basically most goods the colonists were to use in daily life. This created an uproar among the colonists who believed these taxes were unfair. They believed that since the colonists weren’t represented in Parliament that it wasn’t right that they would have no say in the acts that would be passed. Enter the famous phrase “no taxation without representation”. The goal from Britain’s perspective wasn’t to be mean, but was just trying to gain revenue from the colonists, who were in face in need of their defense. Instead, the installment of these taxes would later lead to the Boston Team Party and the boycotting of British goods, which was a very effective method of getting their point across. Many more factors would contribute to the colonists’ resistance and movement toward independence but taxes played a key role in igniting the flame.”
