[quote="lenalein"]hallo, ich schreibe übermorgen eine englischarbeit zum thema the american war of independence und habe zur übung einen aufsatz mit dem groben ablauf vorgeschrieben (s.u.) und würde mich freuen, wenn dieser auf fehler überprüft werden könnte. jetzt schon mal vielen dank, lena. THE AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE It all started in the early 1600s when the British began to found colonies, by 1732 they had 13, in the "New Word", nowadays called America.

The relationship was so good that the colonists fought side by side with the regular British troops, when Britain and France fought over land in America.

hallo,

THE AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE
It all started in the early 1600s when the British began to found colonies, by 1732 they had 13, in the "New Word", nowadays called America. For the reason that most of the colonists were loyal to the British crown, the relationship between the mother country and the colonists was good for both sides.
The relationship was so good that the colonists fought side by side with the regular British troops, when Britain and France fought over land in America.
In the end Britain won all the land east of the Mississipi River but still the war had proved expensive, so that Britain ws deeply in dept when it was over.
That's why they had to think about how they xould take in money to pay their war dept.
And they really found a way. The British wanted the colonies to pay a war dept for the reason that the war was fought for them. They also had to pay lots of taxes. The sugar act for example forced them to pay taxes on certain goods importes into America from outside the British Empire.
There was also a stamp act which force them to pay these taxes in form of stamps on paper, including newspapers.
But although the colonists paid so much money, they were not represented in British Parliament. And that's why they protest: No taxation without representation!
(Und so kam es wie es kommen musste): the Boston massacre took place. The colonists began to protest against these taxes. The centre of this protest was Bosten and 4000 soldiers were sent there to calm down the troublemakers. And for the reason that soldiers shoot into the crowd after they had thrown stones of them and 5 people had to die this anti-British rot was called "a massacre".
