Response to Natasha Girard

Hi Natasha, despite the popular belief that the Boston Tea Party was celebrated by the revolution Americans, the readings aims to show how negative the event was socially and economically. Many of the evolutionally Americans view the tea destruction as vandalism which was putting the revolution into bad light. What brought Americans together was not the destruction of tea but the punishments administered after the act. A series of laws commonly known as Coercive acts were introduced including the closure of Boston port and revoking of Massachusetts charter among others.  The destruction of tea still served its purpose since it was a catalyst to the events that led to independence, but it was negatively felt by many at the time of its happening. When the British government introduced a tax cut on tea, the Americans instead of celebrating complained they were not involved in the decision. The Americans wanted independence to govern themselves and not a tax cut from their masters.

Aids to Independence

Response to Thomas Mitko 

Hi Thomas, nice analysis over there, as the reading elaborates, the Americans won the war due to the sheer size of the American territory. There were forests, mountains, rivers, few roads and few bridges and the British troops could not defeat such a vast country. In addition, the British were running the war from Europe. The British politicians never visited America themselves rather they sent soldiers to fight. Running a war from many miles away is very difficult. Again, British did not have a good leader. The British soldiers did not have the will to pursue the enemy ruthlessly. America on the other hand had a great leader. Though Washington was as a field commander, he was good in managing the war. The sustained the American army which led to success in the war.  However, Washington alone could not have won the war but when the British tried to expand its foreign interest, France making the British have no chance of winning.
