Were the colonies justified in revolting against the British?



YES !

The Colonies were in every right justified in revolting against the British!

The British failed to do their job as a proper 'mother' country should have. The government failed to provide the type of government the colonists were looking for, failed to give what the colonists needed, and last put not least used the colonies as a economical gain rather than helping them. The British didn't provide the representation the colonies wanted, needed in the parliament, instead the British worked in the 'virtual representation' method of representing the colonists. However, the thing was how were the people in England to know what the colonist hundreds and hundreds of miles away wanted. Due to this unfair method of representing the colonists another crisis rose up, the 'taxation without representation.' The British took this to their advantage, they taxed the colonists to bring profit to themselves, they denied the rights and possible prosperity the colonists could have had. So YES, the colonists did have all the justification they needed for the revolution.
