What were the Ideological Origins of the American Revolution?
The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution are Nearly Forgotten in Today’s Society.
The historical origins of the American Revolution center on the struggle for a population’s freedom against a tyrannical oppressor, in a bid for liberty and sovereignty.
The thirteen North American colonies were tired of being under the yoke of British rule, because they were governed from abroad without any legal representation in the British Parliament.
As a result, the laws passed and the policies enacted by Parliament favored the homeland, at the expense of the colonies.
Because of this, the economic growth of the colonies was restricted by British trade policies which favored the homeland.
Throughout the 1700s, Britain passed many legislations that riled the colonies, such as levying unreasonable taxes (such as the Stamp Act, Quartering Art, and the Townshend Act, which prompted the Boston Tea Party) and passing restrictive legislation that impinged on the citizens’ rights (the Intolerable Acts).
Although the colonist’s grew increasingly angry about the taxation without representation, the ultimate straw that broke the camel’s back boiled down to money, not taxes.
The colonies had created their own debt-free paper money, but the British Currency Act of 1764 banned the colonial currency and forced them to use the debt-ridden currency of England.
As such, the colonies fell from prosperity into depression.
They became 13 self-governing independent states, and banded together to fight off the British in the Revolutionary War that lasted from 1775 to 1783.
Time for Another American Revolution

Most of the Founding Fathers were vehemently opposed to the concept of centralized banking, and did not want the newly-founded United States to have one.
However, at the persistence of Alexander Hamilton, the First Bank of the United States was established in 1791.
Alexander Hamilton was a Rothschild agent. His duty was to set up a central bank in America that would reap profits for the Rothschild family of bankers.
The Rothschilds were already extremely successful in establishing banks in Europe and wanted to extend their banking empire further. America was a prime target.
Although the Constitution granted the right to coin money only to Congress, the First Bank of the United States coined money and controlled the currency.
The First Bank was only 20% owned by the US Government, with the majority being owned by foreign investors.
Forerunner for the Federal Reserve
The origins of the American Revolution were are idealistic bid for freedom from the debt-ridden currency of England, but the central banking system once again introduced debt to the United States.
The First Bank of the United States expired 20 years after it was established, but then the Second Bank of the United States was established.
In 1930, President Andrew Jackson, who also had the highest suspicion and disregard for central banks, began the battle to dismantle the central bank. He succeeded.
In 1913, after a secret meeting of wealthy bankers, the Federal Reserve Act was passed, which created the Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Reserve System creates money out of thin air, controls the flow of currency, sets interest rates and inflation levels. The Federal Reserve keeps America and its people in perpetual debt.
The Federal Reserve is a private, profit-driven corporation that benefits only the wealthy elite.
The origins of the American Revolution taught us about the tyranny of debt-ridden money and the greed that controls it.
The Federal Reserve is merely the latest incarnation of the central bank that our Forefathers so feared.
Origins of the American Revolution: Reclaiming Our Rights
Our Founding Fathers fought for liberty, equality and freedom from the oppressor.
They were also well-aware that any government, no matter how well-intentioned to begin with, had the power to become a threat to the people, rather than protect them.
The Constitution was designed to describe the limitations of the government and protect the people from an overpowering government.
Unfortunately our government has strayed from the idealistic origins of the American Revolution by usurping more control over the American people.
Through the increased use of RFID tracking and biometrics, America is turning into a surveillance society.
Our freedom of expression and right to privacy and due process are severely threatened by a tyrannical government that works only for the controlling elite, at the expense of the people.
