When the Americans felt that the Great Britain was not treating them like the British
citizens, they were no longer interested in remaining loyal to the Great Britain. They felt that the
Great Britain was not respecting them and that they lived in a way that they did not deserve in
their own land.
The Intolerable Acts which required the Great Britain to make decisions on
behalf of the colonies made the Americans desire for a change. They therefore decided to take
action that will make them to be freed from the power of the Great Britain and they will be able
to run their country in their own ways (Rhodehamel & John, 2001). However, the Americans had
a very weak army and their economy was not strong enough to fully support the fight they were
planning to engage.
