1. Do these grievances seem to be things that upset rich people or everyone?

These grievances affected everyone in the colonies.

2. Do you think these complaints would give people reason to go to war and possibly die? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe that these reasons could push people to go to war and die because their freedom was being suppressed. Freedom is necessary for humans to thrive, so its absence can lead to a revolt.

Explanation:

The above grievances were some of those stated by the colonists, providing insights into the oppression they suffered under British rule. The American colonists were rightly unhappy because of these treatments.

Everyone in the colonies, the rich and the poor, were all affected by this and that was why they unanimously agreed to seek independence from the British government. Their freedom which is a basic need and right of man was undermined so they were right to seek freedom.

it depends on which society you are referring to. many civilization performed rituals so the gods would with their growing season but the most well known is that of the aztecs. they would make sacrifices, usually animals, but sometimes humans as well.
