When history looks beyond the immediate cause of the American Revolution for.
the justifying principles, it is very soon brought back to the spirit of English liberty. The.
American Revolution occurred because of Great Britain's failure to adjust to conditions.
brought on by the growth and development of the colonies and by the aggravation of a.
breakdown in the political and economic harmony that existed between the colonies and.
the Mother County. Many tumultuous events, during the late 1700's, resulted in colonial.
opposition to Great Britain.
No matter what it comes down to, the major factor for the cause of the American.
Revolution was the ignorance of the British. The irritated colonists were hostile towards.
the supposed Mother Country of Britain as it tried to reconcile with them. Just as a.
neglected child would have bitter resentment towards it parent once the parent sought.
action, so were the American Colonists. .
The cause of the Revolution began when Great Britain stopped paying attention to.
the colonies, and absorbed into its own affairs, politely ignoring the colonies it started.
Everything else that triggered the minds of these revolutionaries was the effect caused by.
Britains salutary neglect of the American colonies. .
During the climax growth of the colonies, the first stages in which Great Britain.
should have been there to guide them through the colonization process, it was absorbed in.
its own affairs. Yet the colonists were advancing pleasantly. They were not having so.
much difficulty because they had learned to take care of themselves, developed into their.
own nation by running themselves the way they thought was right and had succeeded in.
doing so as Great Britain kindly paid no attention to them. The colonists themselves.
subconsciously aware of the situation, led their lives as they pleased, with or without.
having the guidance of Great Britain.
After winning the French and Indian war, Britain felt it had the right to start.
