--After the defeat over France by the British, Britain became very powerful and wealthy. People were very proud to be British and wanted to be British. It was almost a privilege. Many things such as taxes, power and freedom of speech brought struggles and greed among colonists.
In the video, colonists stuck together in any circumstance. For example, "United we stand, divided we fall." Once they are broken apart they are no longer strong enough to stick together.
--The circular letter of the Boston Committee proved effective. Grievances among colonists started small uprisings throughout. The colonists were very angry with the conditions due to Britain's rule over them. Britain insisted on cutting of ties with Boston and thought it would be beneficial but it ended up not going the way they thought it would. After receiving such a great revenue from them they were used to the fact that they had extra money, but it made Boston unhappy and also Britain since Boston had great resources. The Act "fill[ed] the colonists with indignation." Boston had written the letter to all the surrounding colonies to let them know that if it could happen to them then it could happen to any of the other surrounding colonies. If one colony is affected then all the colonies suffer. If Britain ever decides to pretty much be selfish and cut off ties with any colonies who do not co-operate, then uprisings may occur.
--The Letter from the New York Committee of 51 is in response to the "cry for help" from Boston. New York shows great compassion for Boston but they are unable to help. The citizens of New York had put together a Committee of 51 persons to help sister colonies that ever need help. This just shows that the colonies really do work together to make America "United." The sister colonies are there for other sister colonies.
--The quote, “What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the Revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The Revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected, from 1760-1775, in the course of fifteen years before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington.” The people that are united have the same belief and understanding in the change that they want to obtain from the government. When the citizens realized that their liberty was stripped away by the controlling of the British, they understood they they needed to fight to win back their liberty and freedom.
