The Imperial Attempt at Subversion of the Status of Polity, Economy and Religion in Colonial America and the Coming of the Revolution

Mrutyunjaya Mohanty, Ph.D.

Aspects of American Colonial Life

The three important aspects of American colonial life and society which were threatened by the intervention of Great Britain and helped in precipitating the Revolution and consequently ushering in the independence for the thirteen American colonies were: polity, economy and religion.

The colonists were convinced about their sincerity and loyalty to Great Britain, but were also conscious of their own sense of an emerging American patriotism and nationalism. They were beginning to become aware of the corruption and moral degeneration of England and of their own moral stamina and optimism of future greatness. Just at such a point the British measures gradually made inroads into their political order, economic set-up and religious dispensation.

Focus of This Essay

This essay seeks to present the political, economic and religious status of the American colonies at the beginning of the Revolution, to state the interference of Great Britain into the political, economic and religious life of the American colonists through imposition of various measures and to record the reaction of the colonists to these measures that culminated in their independence from Great Britain.
