You are a citizen of one of the 13 colonies. the time is mid-july 1776. you have just heard of the issuance of the declaration of independence. what reasons might cause you to withhold your support of the declaration

A reason that might make me withhold my support of the declaration could be if I had some influences with the Britain crown that could be giving me money and support.

Explanation:

In the 1776´s, the Britain crown was in charge of every aspect on North America, making people who had direct connections with it very important people.

Some of them had higher positions and were part of the government because of their Britain support. People managing successfull bussiness, lands owners, they were all part of the Britain crown, and in consequence, their friends were benefited as well.

If I were part of those benefited people, like having a successful bussiness and a good position, I would totally be against the Declaration of Independence because that agreement damage my social and economic status.

Mainly because when the Declaration was signed and started to work, all those people where enemies of the nation.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
