Assignment 2: Explain the fundamental differences in political, social, and economic ideas which separated the American colonies and Great Britain after 1763.
In the years following 1763 the American Colonists were looking for separation from Great Britain due to political, social, and economic differences. Politically the American Colonists wanted freedom to govern their colonies without influence from Great Britain. Socially the American
Colonists sought to build a set of ideals based upon individual rights while the Englishmen wanted them to conform to British principals, traditions and authority. Economically the Englishmen thought that the American Colonists should pay the same taxes to the King and the Americans wanted to keep their money in America.
The American Colonists had the idea that all white men should participate in government and they did not believe in having an aristocracy that had a part in politics, such as the Englishmen did.
Rather the Americans answer to the King, they felt they should create their own governments and handle all matters themselves.
The Englishmen wanted the same traditions performed in America as Great Britain. This meant answering to the King and the aristocrats. The American Colonists did not want to do that, they believed in individualism, freedom and equality of white men. They wanted to create their own laws and govern them, not abide by the rules and old traditions that Great Britain set forth and abided by.
The American Colonists did not want to pay taxes to the King. They wanted to keep their money and taxes in America and did not want to have to rely on Great Britain for financial help or to be told what they can and cannot do with their money. Americans had a better grasp on their own earnings as the money was not tied up in English rules and upheld by traditions created by nobility
