The Company's monopoly on the imported tea coming to America had infuriated American businessmen and traders, and this again resulted to a resistance, this time in the form of the Boston Tea Party 9 led by Samuel Adams), a group that expressed their opposition by attacking the cargo ships of the British India Company, and throwing out the cargos of tea into the sea. This rebellious and courageous act had disturbed the British government greatly, and indeed, the over taxation and unequal treatment between the Americans and the British had resulted to a greater resistance by the Americans, and the Revolution against British invasion began.

Term Paper on American History From the Origins Assignment

After the Revolution, Americans began re-building their nation through the implementation and enforcement of governmental regulations to maintain peace and stability in the country. In this phase of the American reconstruction, political problems arose as a result disputes between after the formation, development, and enforcement of the new American Constitution. However, the main problem encountered in this phase is the conflict between two political parties, between Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Party and Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican (or Anti-Federalist) Party. This political conflict will later result to a bigger problem, since the conflict between the Federalists (which strongly supports Great Britain) and anti- Federalists will result to the War of 1812, which is a war between the Americans and Great Britain one again, in the latter's effort to exert control over American territory. Although neither the British nor the Americans had won the war, America had prevented another invasion from coming through the 1812 War, and after this event, America had once again reconstructed their country's social, political, and economic organization. However, as the War of 1812 has come to a close, Americans had experienced another problem, this time in the social aspect of the people's lives, as the number of Americans practicing the Christian religion lessened, while new, emerging religions had become the newest forms of philosophies and beliefs of the citizens, such as Mormons and evangelical religions such as Seventh Day Adventists, Methodists, and Baptists. Social transformation is under way, and evidently, America had experienced a social revival and dichotomy after the War of 1812.

It is evident that the memorable events in America's history such as the Revolution and the War of 1812 were triggered by major problems that are economic (over-taxation), political (Federalists vs. Anti- Federalists) and social (inequality between English and Americans and social dichotomy and revival) in nature, as illustrated and proven in the discussion presented in this paper about the major problems of the Americans during the period of pre-American Revolution- War of 1812.
