impossible to point out one cause for the American Revolution as there are a number of reasons for it to start. But some of the main reasons were: intolerable acts passed by British government which has increased the tension between Britain and American colonies; the Boston Massacre; and the Boston tea party. The first Continental Congress, the battles of Lexington and Concord, and the second Continental Congress have taken the revolution further and have led America towards the path of

them yearning for freedom. The Tea Act, Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts were the most important in leading the colonists to writing the Declaration of Independence. The ratification of the Stamp Act, Tea Act, and Intolerable Act occurred within 1765-1774. Each act forced colonists to pay a tax or limit their rights, whether to create revenue for the British government or keep tighter controls on the country and economy.

George Washington, we’ve all heard of him but few people can fully understand him and what he did for our great country.

One of George Washington’s many quotes was this “ It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”(George Washington)(Brainy Quote) George Washington was born on February

In 1775, British forces in Massachusetts were ordered to disarm the American rebels and arrest the leaders. The Revolutionary War broke out on April 19, 1775 when fighting broke out the two sides (British and Americans), at the Battle of Lexington and Concord. There were many factors leading up to the war. One factor was that Stamp act. This was a factor due to the colonists having to pay a tax on every piece of paper they used. Many colonists didn’t agree on this act and other acts such as the

But, the main reason for creating a congress in the beginning was because of a growing outcry against British rule over the colonies. In 1774, delegates from 12 of the 13 colonies met in Philadelphia for the First Continental Congress. “The announced purpose of the congress was to deliberate and determine on wise and proper measures . . . for the restoration of union and harmony between Great Britain

The Thirteen Colonies rebelled against their owners the mighty British Empire, the Empire on which the sun could never set would be rattled to its core by this small yet powerful colony. When the war for the colonies independence erupted a leader was needed for the rebellious colony to rally behind and unite under a common enemy and cause. The most ideal man was George Washington, the United

the French Revolution. Between the years of 1775-1783, The American Revolution was fought between the thirteen British colonies in North America and Great Britain, their mother country. Thomas Hutchinson, the royal governor of Massachusetts at the time, sums the reason for war best, saying "‘No middle ground exists between the supreme authority of Parliament and the total dependence of the colonies: it is impossible there should be two independent legislatures in one and the same state'" (Van Tyne

triggering and commencement of the revolution. The discussion below critically exploits and explores various reasons that led to the start of the revolution. The French and Indian War The wars which happened between 1754 and 1763 had a high impact on the colonies that were initially proud to be part and parcel of Great Britain. However, as it was noted later after the war, most colonists got increasingly bothered by various Acts passed by the Britain
