BY the eve of the American revolution, the colonists in New Engkand had developed a profound sense of unity due to resentment towards various acts imposed by the British.
Various acts, such as the Molasses Act, the Stamp Acts, and the Sugar Acts brought together a profound feeling of resentment by the colonists towards the British. These acts did not seem fair to them, for they made them loose their money and their rights. The unity among the colonists intensified as shown in deffierent protests such as smuggling after the Molasses Act, the Boston Tea Party after Tea acts, and other such rebellions. In the end, the general dislike and umbrage towards these acts and the British in general was what brought on unity among all Americans, and eventually this is what helped and saved them in war.
