"Despite the view of some historians that the conflict between Great Britain and its thirteen
North American colonies was economic in origin, in fact the American Revolution had its roots in
politics and other areas of American life." Support, modify or refute this interpretation,

✓ Factors of economic conflict: Trade, Stamp Act, Townshend duties, Sugar Act-led to
tension with colonies and British, implemented taxes for efforts to raise revenue, taxation
without representation
✓ Factors of political and social conflict: House of Burgesses-representative colony set up by
England to make laws and levy taxes but England could veto its legistlative acts; it set a
precedent for future parliaments to be established, town meetings, Enlightenment-Great
Awakening, Daughters/Sons of Liberty, virtual representation-British claimed that the
colonists were represented in parliament even though colonists didn't even choose their
representatives and caused anger.
✓
✓ Thesis: Though the British diminished capacity to determine their own destiny was
important in bringing on the American Revolution, the British efforts to raise revenue
causes were larger in economic origin. OR British desire for revenue and economic control
was the primary instigation for the American Revolution, but political issues regarding self
government contributed to the eventual war
