What will happen if the rebellion continues?

Option 1

If the rebellion continues, then it will soon become a full-scale war, with fighting and bloodshed from both sides. Family and friends will be torn apart, and the American colonies will be plunged into chaos. The ragtag "army" of American colonists would be crushed by the imposing British militia. The British have many more solders and supplies, so they will be able to outlast the American army, even in their own territory. Although the French and Spanish may be able to provide some supplies for the Americans, it will simply not be enough. The British have the most advanced army and navy in the world, and will be able to outmaneuver the American soldiers. The British also have far more experience than the American army, most of whom have not had any training at all. Once the Americans have lost, the American colonies will be plunged into serious debt, and face serious repercussions from an angry British Parliament.

Option 2

If the rebellion continues, Britain can cut off all trade from America. They would block ports and ruin our position in the Trans-Atlantic economy. On the other hand, Britain would still have support from other countries and thus be able to keep its economy thriving. The revolt would cause America to lose their mediator, which is the messenger between itself and other countries. Without this mediator, disputes between colonies could lead to a civil war that would ruin the future of the country. The economy would suffer grievously, and America wouldn't be able to continue on as it had before in the past. Britain would be completely fine if there was no trade from America, but America herself, would be devastated in the loss.

Option 3

Inevitably, the tension will develop into hostility. There will ultimately be a complete separation from the mother country. However, this is a serious mistake. While the rebels are brave and courageous, they clearly do not stand a chance against the most powerful country in the world. It is important to remember that Britain has supported the colonies since its very beginnings -- and has defended the colonies from rivals and enemies. Continuing the rebellion is a poor choice. Although the colonies are losing rights through Britain's insensitivity to our rights, it must be stressed that dissolution is not the correct method to achieve the voice we desire. Peaceable strategies of negotiation are destined to work in our favor -- rebellion will only widen the gorge that currently exists between us.

Option 4

Now is the time we revolt. Our country has enough resources to be a major player on the global economy, we have the numbers, and if we continue to let this rebellion go without capitalizing on the mix of tension and wavering opinons, we could lose our chances to fight back before exploitation and blantant persecution debase the fabric of America to the point where we can unite to fight. Compromise is shot down in blood, and morale will be no more alive than tomorrow's death toll. We have both France and Spain on our side to take down dwindling British resources to the point where we will not be worth the casualties. Now two plates are rubbing together, causing friction and fire. Amidst this blur is the clarity of John Locke who is telling us our innate rights as human beings are being violated and we as Americans
