What were the main issues of disagreement between the Britis

            The English had colonised America from the 17th and 18th century. As they did this they began to rape the raw materials of the country, plunder the wealth and tax the local population. For what was the purpose of colonising a country then not to gain money from that colonised country? The British considered America to be their sovereign state and it is this attitude that the British had throughout the bitter fighting that took place in the French and Indian war. They believed it was their sovereign right to control and tax this country. The Americans on the other hand had other ideas. They wished to develop their own government, their own diplomacy, their own country! Throughout this essay I will discuss the disagreements between the colonies and the brittish government.
             The British had fought the French and the Indians for seven long years but by the end of it the French had been expelled from North America. But with the French gone the Americans began to develop their own ambitions. Their thoughts began to develop of beating the English and thus the ability to set up a country and economy.
             British politics are important to comprehend if we are to begin to understand the complex disagreements between the colonists and the British. As the parliament passed the laws which precipitated the war of independence the Whigs had successfully eliminated the Tories from parliament. The king even now reported himself as being a Whig! Although some Whigs did seem to support the colonists. They were but a small majority and they were referred to as the "old Whig". But they were only a small majority and so not strong enough to stop the tax. But this does prove that not all Englishmen sided with taxing the Americans which is seen as the main cause of the war of independence. .
             The British dominant party was breaking into factions and it looked like the political system in Britain was unstable and was in turmoil.
