The American Revolution in 1765-83 is a great success in American history. As a result of the American Revolution, many humans on both sides of the conflict died. Although many people died in the American Revolution, their deaths were not meaningless. The men lost in this revolution died in the name of independence and a free America. Independence and freedom was achieved as a direct result of the American Revolution; therefore, the death toll was not without meaning. America was able to break it British chains, gaining the ability to govern their own country and people. The American Revolution was a success, which brought true freedom to its people. After stating the success of the American Revolution, the 1837-38 Canadian rebellions have
Between 1770 and 1776, resistance to imperial change turned into a full-on revolution. The American Revolution, also known as the Revolutionary War, was a time of revolting and political uprising, in which the 13 colonies separated from the British Empire, forming the independent nation known as the United States of America. Though the American Revolution began because the colonies wanted independence from Britain, many important historical events and revolts also lead to the tensions and resistance to what resulted in freedom and independence for the colonies from British rule. Events such as the Stamp and Sugar Acts, the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, and the Continental Congress led to expanding tensions and soon to the outbreak of the American Revolution.

1763, a new nation starts with the victory for Britain over France in the French and Indian War. This starts the begining of a revolution that begins the great nation of the United States. Proclamation of 1763, King George III wary of the cost of defending the colonies, prohibited all settlement west of the Appalachian mountains. The King thought it would protect the colonist from the indians, but as the colonist looked at it they thought it was a harsh regulation to oppress them. This is only the begining of what is the American Revolution. A series of events that end in America starting the most developed governments in the world at the time. It was all started by the ratification of the constitutuion in 1789 which marked the end of a revolution
The British did not use what little “fans” they did have to fight in the revolutionary war. The colonists immediately assumed that the war would be over quick with no problems they thought that the colonist would be no problem. What they did is they decided that they should capture Boston, it was a vital port for the colonists it would weaken the colonists, but after the battle of bunker hill they figured out that this strategy was no good. After the British lost the battle of Saratoga the colonist, who had no navy and untrained troops, started receiving help from foreign countries. It made them look more powerful and feared in the eyes of the British.
Time for The American revolution, during the 1756-63 the seven year war occurred between France, Spain and Britain due to the fear of rising power in other countries than Britain. At the same time the british colonies fought against the spanish and french colonies and seized their settlements. However, after the war Britain suffered an economic crisis and their solution to the problem was to raise the taxes on their 13 colonies. With the raise of taxes tension grew between the colonies and their homeland, after years of unequal taxes the colonist had enough claimed to not receive their rights as freeborn englishmen. To avoid further conflict the english government tried to arrange a deal in 1773 stating they only needed to pay extra for the

It was the first revolution to majorly succeed and change how people saw their countries, it was the American Revolution. The American Revolution was the first successful revolution against a European empire that provided a model for many other colonial peoples who realized that they too could break away and become self-governing nations (New world Encyclopedia, 1).The American Revolution was vital to history because ideas seen by other countries started a chain reaction. Many ideas were taken into account when the Americans revolted against Europe and all of these played important factors throughout history. Ideas about liberty, equality, representation, and natural rights were first seen as properly put into action to change old systems in the American Revolution. As the American Revolution was the first to succeed and earn freedom, it greatly affected countries all around the world on how they made freedom and equality a part of their government
It is generally agreed upon that the Revolution was guaranteed- even foretold- since the idea of settling on it was even suggested- no one can give a large group of people the idea to run themselves and still keep control from thousands of miles away. England had it, but lost that control of their child nation in 1766 when they revoked the Stamp Act and gave the colonists the notion that they had the power and authority to independently run the budding country. After being allowed this minute freedom, the colonists were not pleased with Parliament 's taxes and attempts of an iron fist hold on the Americas- and along with their opposing views on nearly everything, decided that they were no longer pleased with being considered British. Salutary neglect also contributed to the colonists ' inflated sense of pride- aptly named because at this time England 'neglected ' the colonies, giving them room for individual theories, politics, beliefs, and the abilities to run their own lives for a while. The freedom was too much for them to go back to how things were before when England decided to tighten their grip. At this time, the colonists started a war to free themselves.
The American Revolution was undeniably the most pivotal time period in respect to United States History, but who was really to blame for initiating the conflict? While both the British politicians and American colonists shared the blame for the kindling of the revolution, one party was certainly more at fault than the other: the British. Through short-term causes of taxation and incommodious trade acts, and long-term causes of salutary neglect and involvement in the burdensome French & Indian War, the British politicians proved to ultimately be the most responsible for igniting the Revolutionary War.
The British began plodding up a hill with their soldiers in two by two columns, when suddenly the patriots appear with their bloody guerilla war tactics. Unbeknownst to the British this war isn’t going to be just another piece of land conquered. This war isn’t going to be easy.
When the American Revolution first broke out, many countries did not give the colonies more than a passing thought; most assumed that this rebellion would quickly be quelled by the world renowned British army and the colonies would once again be under their control. However, under the leadership of military officers and the guidance of laws and proclamations set forth by the Founding Fathers, America succeeded in their revolution against the control of Britain. Textbooks and teachers have praised America for years, stating that the revolution was a major turning point in world history, setting precedence for future revolutions, such as the French Revolution just a decade after the American Revolution ended. However, in later years, historians have begun to argue that the American Revolution was not the first of its kind, or unique in the way researchers previously stated. The Declaration of Independence, though groundbreaking in its own right, was influenced by documents and declarations in the English Civil War, such as the Petition of Rights and the English Bill of Rights. The Declaration of Independence, in turn, was a base for the authors and contributors of France’s Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen. Furthermore, for all the connections in the chain of antecedents for these documents and the documents themselves, such as philosophical and religious writings, they did not build off of each other in terms of giving rights to more and more people; women and other
Some people believe the American Revolution is strictly liberal, in truth it is conservative evidenced by the new British policies, colonial reactions and the examinations of what it means to be conservative vs. liberal.
In the event of the American Revolution, the general feeling of the colonists can be understood by reviewing the acts of the British Parliament, and how it affected the british subjects across the Atlantic. While some argue the actions taken by American Patriots were completely radical, one can understand that, while this is truly an unprecedented event, it is also quite justifiable. The 7 Years War caused the British to place levies on its colonies, but failed to do so in a manner that appealed to its subjects. In opposition, Americans reared up and acted with utter disdain towards its head of state, and went out of its way to pull away and form its own government, a movement never before witnessed by subjects of the British Empire,
In regards to the American Revolution, the point that armed rebellion became inevitable arrived when after nearly five constant years of American colonist protesting. American 's had enough and needed to take a stand for the numerous inequalities they were forced to deal with. It was foreseeable that the American Revolution took place due to the unfair taxes that the British were giving Americans. Also, England was not allowing Americans their freedom, along with violence and the political dominance by the Parliament over the colonies by announcing the Stamp Act in 1765, which happened to nearly affect all Americans tremendously.
