The American Revolution: The Beginning of Independence And Equality

The American Revolution was a war that happened between 1775-1783 where the 13 colonies in America gained independence from Great Britain and became the United States of America. Over time there have been several different historical interpretations about the causes of the American Revolution. Many of these interpretations lack evidence or provide a very one sided claim. The best explanation for the causes of the American Revolution out of the 5 passages provided is “A Democratic Movement” written by Robert Brown because it had the most historical evidence to back the explanation.

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.

The American Revolution was a political upheaval that took place between 1765 and 1783 during which colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies rejected the British monarchy and aristocracy, overthrew the authority of Great Britain, and founded the United States of America.

The majority response from the colonists to the taxing was negative. Because the colonists were being taxed without their permission or agreement, they felt that their most basic of rights were being taken away from them. The colonists yearned for the complete freedom that they had come to America to obtain. But, with Britain constantly making decisions without consulting with American government, and taking their money, the colonists could not have that freedom. The following words from James Otis capture the feelings of many colonists regarding the taxation without representation, “The very act of taxing exercised over those who are not represented appears to me to be depriving them of their most essential rights as freemen.”

The American Revolution was a political upheaval that took place between 1765 and 1783, during which colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies rejected the British monarchy and aristocracy, overthrew the authority of Great Britain, and founded the United States of America. On April 19, 1775, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired in Lexington and Concord. This was the monumental start of a pivotal war in American history. During the American Revolution, both the American and British sides had their advantages and disadvantages.

“No taxation without representation!” A consequential difference of opinion had developed between British parliament and the Americans on the issues of taxing the colonists and their representation in Parliament. James Otis in 1761, reflected the resentment of American colonists at being taxed by a British Parliament to which they elected no representatives. The lack of representation in the British Parliament was clearly a breach of the rights of the colonists. Thus, taxation and all laws that affected the colonists directly and indirectly were not constitutional at all. Both taxation and representation became major sources of controversy between the colonists and the Parliament because English cities didn’t have representatives in parliament,

The American Revolution is greatly known around the United States and was a major part of American History. It was at the time when Britain was in charge of thenewly found colonies, but these colonists were not happy, since Britain is across the Ocean. After too much power being brought from the King to the Colonies, the colonists decided to rebel. The colonists had the intention of causing a rebellion against the British, they would become independent and free from the control of Great Britain and it’s government. The colonists had to be very smart and strategic if they wanted to rebel against the most powerful country in the world, to be independent from Britain.

To what extend does a nation have to go to in order to establish its own name and presence in the world? The American Revolution describes how the first 13 colonies revolted and faced off against the tyranny of the British. This was a time frame that included corruption, social disagreement, and the misuse of power. Due to all of these economic factors that ultimately occurred between two set of powerful nations, an uprising would begin to take place in order to establish an equal society and independence. The American Revolution was a struggle for independence that involved efforts to make American society more democratic by encouraging women’s rights, fighting against slavery, and solving socioeconomic issues.

Here, the colonists declared a full army, delegated a commander in chief, George Washington, and established their goal of creating independent states. Also, the Second Continental Congress decided that each colony establish a state government, because, if this new country was to succeed in obtaining their own foreign aid and supplies for its armies, a formal separation from Britain was essential.

The American Revolution was a war for Independence that started in 1775 and ended in 1783. It ultimately led to the 13 United colonies separating from Britain due to controversies that consisted over a period of time. There were many problems that could have led to the start of the American Revolution; there were many factors that played a major role in its rise for independence. One being the Colonies difference of opinion regarding the way they were treated by Great Britain and how they felt they should be treated. The Americans felt as though they should have the same entitlements as the Englishmen, and the British thought the Americans should do what every was best for the sake of the monarch and legislature.

The American Revolution began in 1776 at the battles of Lexington and Concord. Here the British and Colonists fired upon one another, this became later known as the shot heard round the world. The Revolution could not only be caused by one thing. The Revolution was caused by a buildup of events that pushed the colonists over the edge. The colonists believed that they were mistreated and taken advantage of when they were forced to house and feed British troops. The colonists also had many taxes pressing down on them causing uproar and revolt, taxes that limited trade and placed large taxes on everyday items. What pushed the colonists over that edge was that on top of mistreatment and taxes they had no say in anything that the British government did for them. The colonies were taken advantage of by the British government and were along for the ride.

The American Revolution, which took place between the years 1765 and 1783, was much more than just a physical revolution of war. It was not just fighting. It all began with the Seven Years War, which put the British into such a horrible debt that they had to tax their colonies. The Stamp Act dissolved into the Townshend Act, which began the tea tax. Eventually, this led to an up-rise in the colonies, and people revolted. The Revolution was a change in the way that countries were run. People were neglected and placed into heavy debt, religious intolerance was rampant, and there was mass persecution present. The people wanted a change, and they seized it.

One of the main causes of the American Revolution was Seven Years’ war. This war was between Britain and France in 1756-63 ended with the Victoria British being deeply in death and demanding more revenue from the colonist. The French were defeated and the colonists would be free to expand westwards. William Pitt who is the Secretary of England takes away the military power from the American colonists to England and while they were fighting,
