• The colonists were justified in rebelling against the British due to several reasons, a large part being Locke's reasoning. The colonists also stated that due to the acts and the manners he committed them, they would write up a series of complaints which would stand as the pinnacle of the declaration of independence.

• Although England has many reasons as to why the colonies were unjustified in waging a war, the colonists still were justified because the “Declaration of Independence” clearly stated the colonist's problems against the king. They said that they were breaking away from England to become The United States of America.

• Delegates from each of the Thirteen Colonies met in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776 to decide the case for liberty. The goal was to convince the States that the time had come for the United Colonies to declare their independence from Mother England. It was an incredibly difficult time for the young United States.The government treated British citizens in the colonies differently from those at home. It demanded special taxes from the colonists. It also ordered them to feed British troops and let them live in their houses. Britain claimed that the soldiers were in the colonies to protect the people.

• Revolutionary governments in the colony-states and the Second Continental Congress cut ties with Britain, one by one, and at length on July 2, 1776, the Congress, speaking for all America, severed the last one, declaring, “These United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states.”

Were the Founding Fathers justified in rebelling against the British government and declaring independence?  

• I believe the pioneers were justified in revolting against the British, because of the vituperative king and British congress, the levies without representation, the laws without the concurrence of pioneers ( similar as the Quartering Act), and the death of the pioneers in brutal events, similar as the Boston Massacre. All these events combined caused outrage throughout the colonies ( similar to the Boston Tea Party, and tarring and oaring of British officers), and sparked a rebellion that would change the history of the colonies ever.  
• The taxes were also mainly used to pay for the French-Indian War, which seems like it justifies the British taxing, except for the fact that it was taxes without representation, which can be labeled as tyranny. This supports my argument, as the American colonists didn’t like having to pay for the war and let Britain take money away from them for profit.
• Most of the goods that were brought to the colonists for trade were heavily regulated by the British government and priced much higher than usual (Edgenuity). In exchange for these overpriced goods, the colonies bartered a wealth of products such as whale oil, timber, and tobacco.
• The uneven weight of trade value between the colonies and Britain caused a negative flow of economy between the two, one that could only be fixed through loans from British banks. While this greatly boosted the British economy, the setup would lead to an eventual crash and a large colonial debt. When the colonists realized this, they began to boycott British goods, they hoped for the British to lift the heavy taxation and to equalize the cost of goods.
• The fact that the colonists had to take action to achieve what they felt were only their basic rights angered even many British
