| 1. Yes, independence is important.
It is the reason that we came to this country in the first place,
so we could have our own lives not controlled by Great Britain.
All of the laws that they were trying to enforce on us were not
necessary and there was no reason for all of the taxes that they
were enforcing. It would have been stupid to stay under British
control. |
| 2. The Stamp Act, the Intollerable
Acts, and the Townshend Acts were laws and taxes that
were enforced by Britain for
no reason. There was no sence in paying these taxes to a king
that was across an ocean. War was inevitable if we wanted freedom
that we came here for. |
| 3. Yes, we all think that
it was a good idea to not stay under British control because
they did unnessary things to try to control us. |
| 4. We could have stayed under
British control forever and have lived unnessarily. This wouldn't
have done any good and there would be no America and no American
dream. |
