Discuss the validity of this statement
             Despite the view of many historians that the conflict between Great Britain and
             her thirteen North American colonies, was economic in origin, in fact the American
             Revolution had its roots in politics and in other areas of American life.
             I agree with this statement that the American Revolution had its roots politics,
             economics, and in other aspects of American life. The populas of the thirteen colonies did
             not find the need to stage a revolution just because of any one of these things, it took
             different aspects of each, being tainted with by the British monarch and Parliment to stage

             laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinion of
             mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

             of the colonies politics, economics, and way of life.

             American soil, and lasted over a century and a half. Most of the people who came to
             settle in the New World from England came to avoid persecution, wether it be religious,
             or other. When colonists finally arrived in America after the horrid voyage from England,
             they became discontented, and already felt separate from the English Government. The
             young New World matured and aquired privledges of self-government, privledges that
             colonies on different continents did not recieve, this was a problem
