Why did many colonists favor declaring independence

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The colonists were outraged by a series of unfair taxes and other things that the king had done (put british troops in colonists' homes).... They had tried sending the King several documents asking the King to repeal the taxes and let them have representatives in Parliament. The final one that they sent was the Olive Branch petition. However, the King angrily refused all of their peaceful offers, and so they felt that their only option was to declare independence if the King wouldn't cooperate.

I think this is coming from the Henry Ford quote, which is "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right."

This quote basically means that what you think you can do is all in your mind and how you perceive yourself. if you think you can do something, then you'll be able to do it. If you think you can't do something, then you won't be able to, because you have already given up in your mind.

Does that make sense?

"What particular sequence of events were the most significant in their destruction to take away the lives of those in the sinking of The Titanic?"

Tonight was the night she had been waiting for. Princess Penelope was head over heels for Prince Patrick and she had finally persuaded her father to allow her to attend the annual royal ball. She could hardly wait. Upon hearing the news, Penelope had sprinted like a cheetah all the way down to the royal dress shop to pick out the perfect dress. As she searched through the racks, each dress seemed to shudder with excitement, waiting to be chosen. Glancing around, Penelope's eyes landed on the most beautiful dress ever made. The dress was a sparkling ruby as it reflected light from every angle. Penelope thought the dress must be the color of Dorothy's slippers. Trying on the dress, Penelope knew it was meant to be worn by her. Now at the ball, her dress swished as she passed the prince. When she turned around, she found his eyes fixed on hers like laser beams.
