Throughout human history, there have consistently been situations where a series of uprisings against some form of political power has been contested. There comes a time when some people of a certain civilization see the need to oppose a tyrannical ruler for mistreatment. The struggle for equality and fair rules has always been engraved in every civilization. Sometimes people strive to have that perfect city and form of government, but things don't always go as planned. The cause of these ideal forms, the birth of rebellions come into play and cause a reaction going against all the rules and breaking this pattern of unjust ways. Whether ending positively or negatively, rebellions recur throughout the timeline of human history, but the outcome and why each started differs depending on how people run them. “Taxation without representation,” a famous quote set during the Revolutionary War era sparked an era of historical change and a movement that would fit further into the lines of American history. The well-known slogan arose from the unjust taxation of the British power in which the colonies had no say in what would be taxed. A course of events occurred that ultimately led to the Rebellion, also known as the Boston Tea Party. As the British began to exert harsh rule over the colonists, several laws were passed to ensure that the British remained in power. Eventually, more and more of these various laws were enforced and affected the daily lives of the settlers. Some of these included the Stamp Act which imposed a tax on all paper produced, passed by the British Parliament in 1765. Money raised from the tax was to be directed towards military efforts to protect the colonist. paper ......n>.Independence Hall Association. “The Sugar Law”.
