American war for Independence: Early Causes
England at the close of the war -- at the close, in fact, of four wars within seventy years -- found herself burdened with a debt of one hundred and forty million pounds; and as it was necessary now to keep a standing army in her colonies, to defend and maintain her late conquests, the scheme of colonial taxation to provide a regular and certain revenue began again to be agitated. Already England feared the growing power and independence of her colonies, and even at one moment hesitated as to whether it were not wiser to restore Canada to France, in order that the proximity of a powerful rival might keep them in check and secure their dependence on the mother-country. As far as the colonists themselves were concerned, we are assured by their earlier historians that the majority had no idea of or wish to separate themselves from England, and that the utmost which they contemplated by the conquest of Canada was the freedom from French and Indian wars, and that state of tranquil prosperity which would leave them at liberty to cultivate and avail themselves of the productions and resources of an affluent land. The true causes which slowly alienated the colonies from the parent state may be traced back to the early encroachments on their civil rights and the restrictive enactments against their commerce.

The Americans were a bold and independent people from the beginning. They came to the shores of the New World, the greater and better part of them, republicans in feeling and principle. "They were men who scoffed at the rights of kings, and looked upon rulers as public servants bound to exercise their authority for the benefit of the government, and ever maintained that it is the inalienable right of the subject freely to give his money to the crown or to withhold it at his discretion." Such were the Americans in principle, yet were they bound to the mother-country by old ties of affection, and by no means wished to rush into rebellion. It was precisely the case of the son grown to years of discretion, whom an unreasonable parent seeks still to coerce, until the hitherto dutiful though clear-headed and resolute son violently breaks the bonds of parental authority and asserts the independence of his manhood. The human being would have been less worthy in submission; the colonies would have belied the strong race which planted them, had they done otherwise.

England believed that she had a right to dictate and change the government of the colonies at her pleasure, and to regulate and restrict their commerce; and for some time this was, if not patiently submitted to, at least allowed. The navigation acts declared that, for the benefit of British shipping, no merchandise from the English colonies should be imported into England excepting by English vessels; and, for the benefit of English manufacturers, prohibited exportation from the colonies, nor allowed articles of domestic manufacture to be carried from one colony to another; she forbade hats, at one time, to be made in the colony where beaver abounded; at another, that any hatter should have above two apprentices at one time; she subjected rum, sugar, and molasses to exorbitant duties on importation; she forbade the erection of iron-works and the preparation of steel, or the felling of pitch and whitepine trees unless in enclosed lands. To some of these laws, though felt to be an encroachment on their rights, the colonies submitted patiently; others, as, for instance, the duties on sugar and molasses, they evaded and opposed in every possible way, and the British authorities, from the year 1733, when these duties were first imposed, to 1761, made but little resistance to this opposition. At this latter date, however, George III. having then ascended the throne, it was determined to enforce this law, and "writs of assistance," in other words, search-warrants, were issued, by means of which the royal custom-house officers were authorized to search for goods which had been imported without the payment of duty. The people of Boston opposed and resented these measures; and their two most eminent lawyers, Oxenbridge Thacher and James Otis, expressed the public sentiment in the strongest language. Spite of search-warrants and official vigilance, the payment of these duties was still evaded, and smuggling increased to a great extent, while the colonial trade with the West Indies was nearly destroyed.
Causes of the American Revolution
When people consider the causes of the American Revolution, the slogan "No Taxation Without Representation" comes to mind. And so does the Boston Tea Party (1773), the Stamp Act (1765), and those "Sons of Liberty" tarring and feathering British officials in the streets.
That is, of course, for those who actually have a clue about the American Revolution. For most people, a question about the causes of the American Revolution would probably draw blank looks or that "deer-in-the-headlights" expression
"No Taxation Without Representation"
The most famous slogan of the colonies leading up to the American Revolution was indeed "No Taxation Without Representation." The fact that this slogan endures today shows the power of good public relations. Words - coined effectively and succinctly - have staying power!
The power of slogans notwithstanding, when people conclude that the War for Independence was about taxes, they forget these simple facts:
• The most burdensome and controversial tax levied on the colonies was the Stamp Act of 1765, which was repealed in 1766 (nine years before military hostilities broke out and ten years before independence was declared)
• The last major tax which preceded the war itself was the Tea Act of 1773, which represented a paltry tax on British tea in North America -- so paltry, in fact, that British tea (taxed as it was) was still cheaper than smuggled Dutch tea
• When the Second Continental Congress enumerated the specific grievances in the Declaration of Independence, they listed "imposing Taxes on us without our Consent" as Number Seventeen!
Clearly, if taxes were the main cause of the American Revolution, the war would have started sooner than it did, and the Founding Fathers would've thought to list it higher up in the list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence.
So, if not taxes, what then was the cause?
With the conclusion of the French and Indian War and the ascension of King George III to the throne, the British government shifted its economic policy toward her North American colonies. Prior to the Seven Years War (or French and Indian War as it was called in North America), the British were content to allow the colonies to more or less govern themselves. After the French and Indian War, things changed.
The British extended their mercantilistic policies of trade restrictions and economic control, and began to directly tax the American colonists for the first time. In response to domestic tensions, they stationed more troops, undermined the authority of colonial assemblies, and ultimately imposed martial law in New England (and threatened to do so elsewhere). By the 1770s, it was clear that the British no longer respected the tradition of American self-governance.
The cause of the American Revolution was best summed up by militia volunteer Levi Preston. Interviewed over 50 years after the events of the Revolution, Preston gave the following explanation for the American Revolution: "What we meant in going for those redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves, and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."




Immediate Causes of the Revolutionary War
Parliamentary Measures that Created Colonial Conflict After 1763
The causes of the American Revolution are many and involve commercial, ideological, and political factors. Some of these causes can be traced back to colonial development in the 17th century while others are more immediate. Those immediate “causes,” often extensions of a more universal, ideological cause, tend to fall after the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763 and usually begin with the Proclamation Line. Within twelve years, colonists and British troops would battle at Lexington, Concord, and Breed's Hill.
The Proclamation Line of 1763
The Royal Proclamation Line was designed to eliminate frontier Indian attacks on white settlements by limiting westward expansion. With the Appalachian Mountains as the buffer, colonists were restricted from crossing into Indian Territory. Although this produced outrage among Frontiersmen and land speculators, there is strong evidence that Parliament also sought to ensure justice for the Native Americans.
1763 was also the year of Pontiac’s Uprising or “Conspiracy” that began in the Detroit area. A charismatic Indian leader, Pontiac spawned a frontier rebellion in which many settlers were killed and British forts taken. Although Pontiac has been viewed as the chief protagonist in these events [1], modern scholarship suggests a more spontaneous uprising by the disparate Native American tribes.
The cause of the war may have been the policies instituted against Native Americans by General, Sir Jeffrey Amherst after the French and Indian War. Amherst was recalled a year after Pontiac launched the rebellion. The Indian uprising caused the British government to conclude that the colonists were unable and unwilling to maintain their own defense. Hence, Britain deployed troops to the colonies.
The Cost of Empire and Colonial Security
Parliamentary measures between 1763 and 1776 had many goals but chief among them was to force the colonies to pay for their own defense as well as retire the national debt incurred by the recent war. Thus, in 1775, Parliament broadened the Stamp tax by applying it to the colonies through the Stamp Act (Englishmen were already subject to a stamp tax). Enforceable in England, the Stamp Act was completely unenforceable in the colonies. By targeting all classes, the act only succeeded in generating ire among colonists from all walks of life.
Repealed in 1766, Parliament passed the Declaratory Act (March 18th) the day after. This Act, more of a resolution, proclaimed Parliament’s “full right and authority to make laws and statutes…in all cases whatsoever.” Section II of the Act declares null and void any colonial attempts to pass laws limiting Parliamentary prerogatives enumerated in Section I.
The Countdown to the Shot Heard Round the World
Various British administrations amended and altered revenue measures yet each one was met with resistance, chiefly in New England. The Townsend Revenue Acts were replaced in 1770 although, significantly, leaving the tax on tea. 1770 was also the year of the Boston Massacre. In 1773 Parliament passed the Tea Act. This led to the Boston “Tea Party” and Lord North’s punitive Coercive Acts.
By now, leaders in other colonies were transfixed by events unfolding in Boston. Samuel Adams’ committee of correspondence as well as newspapers, pamphlets, and other propaganda had united certain elements in the thirteen colonies against so-called British aggressions.
The escalation of tensions, tied to the short term and immediate causes of the war, eventually led to the confrontation between Minutemen and British regulars at Lexington and Concord. Followed by a disastrous British defeat at Breed’s Hill, the war for independence had begun. The Second Continental Congress began plans for waging war in May 1775. The war had come.

Origin Causes American Revolution
Colonial America Embraced Freedom Long Before the Revolutionary War

Many argue about the causes of the American Revolution; and why not, religion and politics have generated some of the most entertaining arguments of all time. Most of the religious arguments stem from someone taking the view that America is a Christian country, the meaning of which usually determines the cause and the cure for the argument. Others argue it was a socially motivated event because the American people were tired of having to adhere to and pay for English intiiatives for which they had no say and that the principles of the enlightenmnet were the main cause. Many will argue vociferously that it was purely an economic necessity due to taxation without representation. They had no say in government. The truth is that all of these factors contributed the the demise of the English Empire in America.
Religious Causes
One of the most controversial causes of the American Revolution to talk about today is religion. We can endlessly debate a Christian foundation of America but there can be no doubt about the role that religion played. The majority of immigrants to New England, the Delaware River Valley, and Maryland were Pilgrims of Puritan, Baptist, Quaker, and Catholic dissension. The colonies in the south were primarily Anglican but took a dim view, on the whole, of the High Anglican form of worship. Finally, the Appalachian mountain region was a very common area to which many Scots-Irish Presbyterians migrated due to religious discrimination in Northern Ireland. These religious groups together with “The Great Awakening” in the mid-century had a definitive impact on the founding of the United States.
Social Causes
The social climate in America also had a great deal to do with the march to revolution. It was not a classical revolution that saw the lower classes triumph over their oppressors but it was definitely an unleashing of a hitherto restrained middling society. Even the terminology used, such as abject slavery, tyranny, and independence, painted a socially based portrait of the event. The very foundations of social order would take a huge hit in this conflict. The Aristocracy plummeted from being a term of respect to an epithet of derision. The equality of all men was a goal that had never before been given an adequate trial.

Political Causes
Political thought had been undergoing its most profound development in the history of the world in the 17th and 18th Century. Absolute rule was beginning to be seen as decadent. In American Colonial government at this time it was not uncommon for one man to hold several political offices at once. These offices were, for the most part, royal appointments, which in many cases actually carried more responsibility and power in their arena than the actual crown did in Britain. These mini-tyrants were in large part responsible for the colonial perception of the tyranny of the crown.
Economic Causes
Finally, economic development, which is probably the most familiar cause, has earned the right to be, what some consider, the key cause. Taxation to fund war debt was the first and largest issue that radicals could latch onto to engender popular support. The prevailing economic practice of Mercantilism meant that the first reason for colonial existence was to amass riches for the mother country. The Colonies had accomplished this very well for a long time. The very purpose for the war expense that Great Britain was trying to recoup with taxation was to preserve this valuable resource
