ReplyDeleteThere are many things that could've prevented the colonists' declaring independence and going to war. For example, the British could've just stopped taxing us and putting soldiers in our houses, they could've just left us alone, or they could've just made a new type of government that would've benefited everyone.
The reason why I said that if Britain wouldn't have started taxing the colonist and putting soldiers in their houses was that the colonists didn't like the stamp act and the sugar act , which made them mad because things weren't cheap. They also didn't like the quartering act because it made it harder for people with families to take care of each other with the soldiers. Also, they thought that it was another way for Britain oo tax them. Now, without the stamp, sugar and quartering act, occuring their wouldn't be no problem because everythimg is affordable and easy to get.
Now Britain could've left well enough alone and could've let us make our government and seek our own fortune. Without the British ruling over the colonies, we would be making our own products and economy. Also, there would've been the establishment of our own government and laws.
Now, Britain could've made a new type of government that would've benefited everyone. For example Britain could've made laws for the Colonial Americans that the colonists would like. The only way to do that is to ask the colonists what laws they like. Next, the British and the Colonists would have to compromise on what laws they both want so that their would be no more conflict between the two. Now with this plan, both the British and the Colonists will have what laws, economy, and government that they want.
In conclusion, there are many ways that the colonists declaring independence and war on Britain by, not taxing and invading our personal space, by leaving the colonists alone, or by Britain compromising with the colonists to make a new government that benefit s everyone.
