Hi Everyone, me again. Okay i am done with my DBQ and before i turn it in i would like to know if it needed some editing. The question for the essay was : Were the colonists justified in their decision of war against Great Britain? Here it goes:

The colonists were justified in their decision of war against Great Britain because they were treated unfairly, not allowed any political power, and were not given any respect.

A reason why the colonists were treated unfairly is because they faught in the French and Indian War. In result to that, they were not allowed to move west and settle, but that did not stop them from going anyway. Many died along the way, but they made it. Yet, even though they settled, they still did not have political power.

The King did not want the colonists to spread and he tried to put a halt to it. He attempted to make the colonists stay where they were at by setting laws and taxes, anything, to get them to stay put. When the colonists tried to set their own rules, so they could be more independent. The king put a stop to that by forcing laws and taxes upon them. THis led the colonists to think that they were not as respected as they thought.

The King was mad that the colonists were attemping to create their own laws to become independent. In return, he didn't let them have any power whatsoever, he had the British attack the ship, stopped their exports and imports, and threatened them. The King did not want the colonists to overthrow him because he knew that as soon as they became independent, they would become very a powerful nation.

If there was anything that you would change about it or if i gave the wrong information or you have some tips, i would greatly appreciate them.

Thanks
