Revolucion

Although initial thoughts of revolution were based on both intellectual and economic events, as time went on and revolution became reality, it was based more on political and intellectual reasoning. The colonists cared a great deal about representation and having a legislative government, and considered it more important when faced with the option of purchasing inexpensive tea from Britain, that would result in Britain making revenue. They understood the power of having their own legislative council, and economic power over leaders. American resistance was filled with different classes of people, who cared more about their say in government than their salary.
