Synthesis

----The whole deal of new world against england has bee a constant back and fourth for me. of course i started for the americans, i mean we always go with our family. But as i learn more i get more confused on my veiw and whos side i stand on. The main issue is that Britian wants to tax America, they find their reasoning due to their help and support of the colonies when it comes to war and finacial stimulants like trade and inports from england. A new society cannot function or build with out any support, the ground up takes a long time, England help start the colonies more like from the sky line up. So i started with being on the Americas side, and then , i found the document from The Boston Committee and their pathetic plee for help. this change my veiw and even emarrased me because their we so dramatic. I was a very biased peice that led to a emotion but not facts so as i went to learn more on the foundation of the issue my opinion once again shifted.
-----Watching the movie, and reading text and other text analysis documents altered my view. Also along with the basic facts added in i got very mixed up. The English gave American that chance and put them where they are, let them live on their land, supported them during war and kept their tradeand ,hence their economy, strong. One view, is that the Americans were being selfish lazy brats and ungratdeful and unwilling to be tribute. The other view is one that the taxing is unfair. That the Americans were angry due to reasonable causes, and that the tax was unfair because it was not placed upon the british. Well according to the movie the only brits who were taxed were ones of very low stature like slaves. And of course any one would take the same treatment of slaves as an insult, and that how they took it. And in my opinion i am still very much undecided.
-----To me, they were being a tad lazy, but maybe their were just trying to establish freedom and without this "lazziness" , we might not have our freedom or it be at such a great spoy as today.
