The American Revolution had a number of underlying causes, some of which were inevitable and others which perhaps could have been resolved, but one undeniable beginning was the movement known as the anglicization name. Before the 1700s, each colony acted essentially independently. They all had different cultures and mixtures of peoples and beliefs. In fact, they became more and more diverse until the early 18th century, when the colonies had stable enough economies and colonies that they began to want the finer things in life, and they didn't not only worried about their survival. This meant that they began to import more products from England, not only food, but also fashion and style. This quickly moved to “importing” ideas. Whatever the hot political topic in England was, it was also what the colonists talked about around their tables. This meant that the colonies were becoming more and more similar, and in some ways this acted as a unifying force for areas that had previously been defined by their differences. Although Anglicization made the colonies more like England in some ways, it also highlighted political differences and played a key role in the conflicts that led to revolution. The bond between Great Britain and its North American colonies grew stronger in the 18th century. After 1740 there was an increasing importation of British goods, the colonists still considered themselves British and wanted popular British items. Not only did people dress in London fashion and follow popular British style, but newspapers and print media borrowed English ideas and models. Some forms of anglicization were in fact accidental and reflected the negative social structure of England that the colonies had left...... middle of paper ...... it is in seeing these differences that they are became acutely aware of how they were not being treated fairly. At first, they were taxed without representation, and when they tried to voice their concerns and grievances, they were ignored. This tendency to tighten control and not listen to colonial issues was something that the colonists were fed up with and caused them to speak out against imperial policies. When speaking out wasn't enough, they started taking action. There are many moments where revolution could truly be said to have become inevitable, the most common being the Boston Massacre, but it is clear that the threads that all came together to form the revolution began here. With Anglicization and the realization that American colonists were not the same as British citizens and that Britain would never consider them equals..
