INTRODUCTION:The 13 colonies laid the foundations to
what will be the United States today. Thecolonial world established by them wasimpressive in its diversity. From the
boundless variety developed adistinctive culture that will eventually becalled the ´American way of life.µ Self
government was one important feature ofthe colonial life.The mixture of peoples from all walks oflife and those of the Europeans·, Native

colonial life, were kept out of mainstreamAmerican life, dominated as it were by
the English settlers. Unknowingly orknowingly, the colonists thereforeplanted seeds of future conflicts that will
bring bigger problems for futuregenerations.In the years to come the settlers will grow
in number and will and will soondemand greater demand for themselves.Remember that up to this point, althoughseveral thousands of miles away from

England, they were still actuallygoverned by the English king. But really
not for long as the colonists would soonlay the groundwork for the principles ofreligious toleration, free public education
and representative government thatwould later become the constitutionalpillars or foundations of a new American
nation.

M ercantilism ² is an economic andpolitical policy where a nation tries to
gain greater wealth and power than itsrivals (in this case England wanted to bemore powerful than the rest of the nations
in Europe). To do this, you have to have agreat army and navy and to be able todo this, you need a lot of money; money,
which you can get out of trade andmoney, which you can get out of othersources, like, taxing the 13 colonies

Taxes Imposed:1.) Sugar Act ² The colonists had to pay
an extra amount every time they buysugar coming from Europe or any stuffthat they buy imported from Europe. This
meant higher expenses for them.2.) Stamp Act - Tax imposed on almostanything written or printed on paper inthe colonies,
from newspapers to playingcards. In fact, a special stamp had to beapplied to show that the tax had beenpaid.

Lack of Representation:The colonists· did not actually mind
paying taxes, inasmuch as their lack ofrepresentation in the government when itwas decided that they will be taxed.
To protest what they deemed was lack ofrepresentation, they held protests (similarto the rallies of today) and even
boycotted British-made goods (similar towhat we are planning to do now----ifChina refuses to leave the claim on Spratleys, Filipinos are being encouraged to
8/6/2019 Migration & Immigration

boycott China-made goods.
Desire for self-government:Loyalty vs. LibertyFreedom to make own laws
Freedom from taxesFreedom to represent the colonists
Quartering of British troops:Colonists were required to pay for food
and housing of British troops when theywere assigned to the colonies.
