History is full of examples of people taking a stand for what they believe is right. These stands have caused history to change in many ways and are extremely important. I believe one of the most important stands ever taken in American history was the English colonists standing up to the powerful English government.
I will not go into great detail as this chain of events is arguably the most important in American history, but the colonists in the present-day United States took a stand against the English government. They boycotted English goods, opposed taxes, and sent representatives to the English government. This caused the powerful King George to send an army to keep the peace in the colonies. Once again, the colonists took a stand and fought the armies, and the rest, as they say, is history.
This stand affected so much then and now. The colonists gained the freedom to create their country. However, even greater effects were still to come. This stand set an example for other oppressed people to take a stand including the french middle class and the African Americans of the United States of America
Without this great stand, the country we know and love today would not exist.
By the way, I know this is an extremely overdone and cheesy topic.
