The American Revolution was a conflict between the thirteen British colonies in North America. Consisted in two events: The War of Independence (1775-1783) and the formation of the government establishing the Constitution of the United States of America (1787) The War of Independence, the colonies managed their independence of Britain. Thanks to that, a new republic was established where the Governor was in the hands of the people. In 1783 Britain recognized the colonies as an independence nation. Some of the main causes of this revolution were: Intolerable Acts, Proclamation 1763 and Common Sense.
The government spent a lot of money on troops and equipment in his attempt to conquer Massachusetts. On May of 1773, the Parliament accepted the Tea Act to help with the expenses that caused the conquest. For several years, the colonies were boycotting British rules and they created their own tea. Groups like the Sons of Liberty rose up against them. In the night of December 16 the Sons of Liberty dresses as Native Americans and boarded the ship to cause a revolt on taxes of tea. They tossed 342 chests if tea into Boston Harbor and the Parliament took action against the colonies.
