Were the Founding Fathers justified in rebelling against the British government and declaring independence?
In a well-developed essay that includes an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, explain whether or not the Founding Fathers were justified in declaring independence. Be sure to address counterclaims in your essay and include reasons and evidence to support your argument.

(this is the essay)
Imagine you are part of the colonies in 1765 the stamp act was just enacted. Your enraged so you go along with the constant chant of "Taxation without representation is tyranny". Then people start talking about freedom an Escape from Britain not long after the Revolutionary War is happening. Once 7 years passed the war is over.
declaring independence was justified especially after the Intolerable Acts. However the war may had been avoided if they just let them have their freedom in instead of having a war that lasted 7 years. yet the whole thing could have been avoided, if the British did not keep such a tight hold on the colonists, gave them representation in parliament, and gave them the birthrights they desperately wanted. A counterclaim may be that the war was justified and declaring independence was not. The British were the first ones to fire sparking the war therefor making it justified. may be considered Declaring independence was not justified given they could have stayed and then everything would have stayed the same.
however looking at the details you can see that declaring independence was very much justified particularly because they wanted to get away from the Intolerable Acts and the Boston Massacre and they had every right to. The war COULD have been avoided if they had just recognized american as independence it would have never happened.
in conclusion: ideaz

also ill give you 50 points just cause im nice :)
