America. USA. All from 13 colonies,established by Great Britian in the New World. But in the 1700's unrest arose as Britain began to unsightly tax and punish the colonies. Now it's the most free country in the world. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 1776, cause freedom knows no boundaries!
The Sugar Act, The Stamp Act, The Declaratory Act,The Townshend Act, The Boston Massacre and The Intolerable Acts were all tipping points for the colonists, leading to retaliation such as the Boston Tea Party. Tensions between the mother country and daughter colonies were high and rising all the time. The Acts, designed to tax the colonists and pay for the French Indian War (1754-17663). The war would have turned out much differently or may have not even happened if it wasn't for the British government putting the cost and effort of a long, bloody war on the tired and recovering colonies.
