This reason connects to the question because the American Revolution was an economic rebellion because they rebelled to gain control away from the British. One last reason why people rebel against power is because they feel as if their beliefs are being forced to change. An example of this is the Boxer Rebellion that started in 1899, which was when the Boxers revolted against foreign influence and Christian missionaries, ”Christian missionary activities helped provoke the Boxers; Christian converts flouted traditional Chinese ceremonies and family relations; and missionaries pressured local officials to side with Christian converts.” (“Boxer Rebellion”). They saw that they were forcing Western beliefs onto them and believed it was an attack on their identity and the Boxers responded with violence to protect their traditions and beliefs (“Wasserstrom”). This supports my claim because the Boxers imposed major violence onto the foreigners just to keep their beliefs a choice of theirs. They did not want it to be changed by somebody
