Throughout the history of the United States of America, the American Revolutionary War was undoubtedly the event that was most impactful and decisive towards the ultimate fate of this country. Without it, this country wouldn’t have seen its formation in the first place. It began in the 1750’s and 1760’s, when British colonists who settled in the 13 colonies became fed up with British rule, taxation, and laws set on them. For example, when the taxes for tea were imposed on the colonies, a large majority started revolting, and strived for liberty from the British, so that they could govern themselves and create their own laws. As a result, many who lived in the colonies, including famous patriots, eventually sparked a revolution until a full-out…

The Revolutionary war is a critical moment in U.S history. The whole thing started when Christopher Columbus discovered “The New World” in 1492. England gained control of “The New World” and many settlements were created in The Americas. Most of the settlers came to The Americas for economic advance and religious freedom. Eventually, ing George attempted to tax the colonies which started it all.Many taxes were sent which sparked a revolt. The sugar act taxed any import goods making merchants lives harder. The Stamp act taxed everybody for stamps, and if there were no stamps; you go to jail. The townshend act sparked the revolt. This act made tea, lead, and paint. Colonists tarred and feathered tax collectors and drove them out. In Boston (one of the most populated cities) thousands of Redcoats were sent to tax and hold them in control.…
The Revolutionary War was incredibly radical and revolutionary with evidence of the changes being permanent. One reason why this war was revolutionary, was that individuals were either questioning their rights or gaining their rights. For example, in document 6, a young African American had a speech on how discouraged they felt to live among the whites. They said they felt “weak and insignificant” in comparison to the whites. In addition, they stated that there are racial borders when it comes to employment, for the whites won’t work with African Americans leaving them unemployed. Using the data from document 5, many of the states were gradually abolishing slavery. The Northern states including Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, abolished slavery earlier in comparison to the southern, eastern and western states.…

The old "taxation without representation" argument said it all. Colonists were tired of having things like taxes passed onto them in Parliament all the way out in England without any representation. It was as if they were being treated like second class citizens who had no say in their own rights within the colonies. But instead of listening to its citizens, England decided to clamp down even further on the colonies, sparking even more grievances. The war was the result of the political American Revolution. Colonists galvanized around the position that the Stamp Act of 1765, imposed by Parliament of Great Britain, was unconstitutional. The British Parliament insisted it had the right to tax colonists. The colonists claimed that, as they were…

The effects on America from the revolution were liberty, freedom, and self government. It made a huge impact on the society today. The Americans would not have as many rights today without the war. Pros of the American Revolution we have freedom, liberty, and a self-government. Because of the people who fought in the war had a lot of dedication and motivation. If we would not have had the war, we would not have influenced England to give our country more rights. “Once more we are again collected and collecting our new army of both ends of the continent recruiting fast, and we shall be able to open the next campaign with sixty thousand men, well armed and clothed.” by, Thomas Paine.

The side I chose to support the British. I've decided to step into their shoes and look at the war from their viewpoint. In the 17th century, american settlers moved further west while the British fought the Native Americans in the Indian Wars. The colonists were grateful for the protection of Great Britain and many colonists were proud to be a part of the most powerful nation at that time. The colonists profited from trade with Great Britain and they held certain political right as British subjects such as No Taxation Without Representation.…

Have you ever wondered just how the American Revolution began? The Revolution mainly started with the navigation acts of 1660; however, many other things caused the revolution to happen.
