Why did the British declare the colonies were in a state of rebellion?
Throughout the summer of 1775, King George III urges his ministers to declare the American colonies to be in a state of rebellion. An official statement will allow the military to pursue more aggressive measures against the colonists, and allow the king to punish English supporters of the American cause.
What caused the colonists to rebel against the British quizlet?
The colonists rebelled against the British because of the excessive taxation that was levied upon all the colonies that were controlled by Great Britain. This was caused by the French and Indian war which lead to Britain's debt for war to double in amount, so in reaction, they had to pay off these war debts.
What were the main reasons that prompted the American colonies to rebel and fight for their independence?
The American Revolution was principally caused by colonial opposition to British attempts to impose greater control over the colonies and to make them repay the crown for its defense of them during the French and Indian War (1754–63).
What ideas inspired the colonists to declare a revolution?
Freed from the threat of hostile French and Indian forces, American colonists were emboldened to resist new British colonial policies that raised issues of inequalities of power, political rights, and individual freedoms.
