Analyze the economic motivations and expectations of the Americans that led to their rebellion from Britain. If the Americans had one of the highest rates of standard of living, per capita income and life expectancy and the lowest rates of per capita tax in the world, why would they want to leave the British Empire?

For me, The American people that time really wanted to end the British colonial power that is penetrated on their nation. Even if that time that they have the highest standard of living, the American people wants to achieve freedom from the slavery that they are experiencing from Europe and wanting to start a new government that is managed by the American government alone.

What, in their view, could have been improved? Why?

That them being a slave before by European colonial empire requires them to guard equality to all American citizen of their nation regardless of race, ethnicity. culture and belief to achieve and maintain peace and harmony among the people of America that will give justice to the objective of their fight for freedom from Europe during the early times of their history.

How did American culture, politics and social economic class eventually intertwine with the economic issues and further drive the motivations for independence?

I think that the harsh treatment of European empire from the American people as their slaves and colony triggers a burning fire of desire for the United States on striving more to achieve freedom from the colony of Europe. The injustice and inequality between European people and Americans creates a desire from the US to achieve a separate government that is managed by the US itself alone.

Why have some economic historians pointed to 1763 as a turning point in the British and American relationship?

The Seven Years War is caused by fought on a land claim in Ohio by the French and British due to North American continent discovery.

How did the British react to the American economic grievances?

To fund the war and protect the territories of Britain, European government in the United states created a law that will give tax dues to American people to be given to Britain to fund their vision of securing and gaining more territories in the future. The government also promised a sound and better economic society in America by creating more monetary bills as a currency of exchange during that period.

If the British pursued sound money and good government, why would the Americans protest?

American people protest with the vision of Britain to achieve a sound monetary and better government structure in America because the minority (American people) is still not allowed to play a role in running the government of America during that time that created conflicts between the European government and the citizen of the United States.

Was this really about 'taxes and tea'?

The higher taxes and the tea act may be one of the factor on why the Americans opposes the British government in their country. But if we will be looking on the bigger picture and deeper meaning of their sentiments, it will end up with them not being part of the government that Britain is ruling on their own country.
