Synthesis

The British were a big part of the Americans lives, and the Americans had no intention of disconnecting from Great Britain. Great Britain had been thought of as taking care of the Americans, and Americans were so proud to call themselves British. The Britain's were the Americans source of trade and the Americans did not want to create a war with them. The Americans liked Great Britain so much that they even sent their children there to get an education. In fact, the Americans thought that Great Britain was better then them, but in realty America was better taken care of and had more freedom. American colonies were the land for opportunity.

Life was perfect the way the Americans had been living. They made their own taxes and ran their own government. Out of the blue, Great Britain decided to make an Act of Parliament.The first act was the Stamp Act. They put a tax on every little thing in America. This Stamp Act created a fire storm in the American colonies. They weren't used to being run by a parliament, and this parliament was taxing everything they had. The Americans felt as if they were as low as servants and disagreed fully against the Stamp Act. They believed that it was wrong for Great Britain to create such a thing without the consent from all the colonies in America.

The American Colonies decided they had to do something about the Stamp Act, and that's when the Circular Letter from the Boston Committee of Correspondence came into play. This letter was sent out to all the sister colonies in search for the unity of America against Great Britain. The solution the Boston Committee came up with was to suspend all trade with Great Britain. They wanted to teach Britain a lesson. I saw the letter to be written as kind of in shock that Britain would do this to them, and as a call for their families help. The letter from the New York Committee of Fifty-One to the Boston Committee of Correspondence was written as a reply to the request of the Boston Committee. The New York Committee agreed to help such a wonderful colony as Boston, yet they wanted to gather all the colonies together to decide if this solution was the correct path to take.

After about five months since the letters between New York and Boston, a Declaration and resolves of the First Continental Congress was released. New York's plan went into action, and all the colonies got together to make their decision as a whole. The declaration was a way to show Britain that they weren't going to take the way they were being treated. They wanted a say in their taxation and the Stamp Act was completely Britain's plan to break down America. The Stamp Act and All the Acts that come after this event are all Acts of Parliament that lead to Americas independence.
