Since the French-Indian War, the British Parliament decided that the only way to earn more money was to tax the colonist. So the parliament passed a stamp act that started a bitter revolution from the colonists. For almost two decades, they have rebelled against any taxation and other unfair laws. Around the 1770s, the Boston Tea Party begun on a coast in Boston. Many people dumped all the tea and refused to pay for any English things. The feud between these two groups started an official Revolutionary War in 1774.
Two same but different religious groups have been having feuds since the 1500s. The Holy Catholic Church has been giving out indulgences to many people to forgive their sins. Martin Luther, a man who believed that this was all about greed wrote the 95 thesis to hope that the church will change due to it. Unexpectedly, the church chose to disregard it and excommunicated him. Martin Luther quickly gathered a group of reformers and called themselves the Protestants. This is how many new religions started, but this reforming act caused a war between the two. Though the war has ended for hundreds of years now, many people still feel that there is a major difference between the two. Many Catholics will become very angered if they were to be called "Christians" or more specifically "Protestants". So will many non- Catholic groups of the Christian world, will refused to be called the "Catholics" or go to their church. Even today, many churches will argue with each other. Hold different activities and different ways to baptize each believer, just to differentiate from each other.
