**//What causes conflicts between groups of people? //** **//What causes conflicts between people are rivals and fairness. The patriots were against the loyalists, and vice versa. The policies were mostly enforced by the British loyalists and that caused conflicts to occur between the colonists and them. For example, all the conflicts that occurred was because of the various acts “Stamp Act, Sugar Act, Intolerable Acts, etc…” the colonists/patriots thought those Acts were unfair and were against the British and their policies. //**

Signing The Declaration of Independence showed that Samuel Adams was a loyal patriot, who protected the rights of the colonists. Samuel Adams retired in Boston, and then died peacfully in 1803.

= Declaration of Independence =

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776  The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

= Declaration of Independence __ - __ An act/document by which the Second Continental Congress, on July 4, 1776, declared the Colonists to be free and independent. Thomas Jefferson was the one who wrote this document, (he was given the task of writing the document.) Samuel Adams was one who signed the declaration of Independence. = = This document declares the colonists to be free. In these two paragraphs Thomas Jefferson stated that everyone should be treated fair and equal. Also in this peice of writting, he says that people should not be seperated/enemies and that there should be peace among everyone. If the government tries to take away someone's life, freedom, or happiness then the government should be abolished, (taken away.) Overall in this peice of writting the main idea is that people should have rights, and freedom. Such rights include, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. =
