Industry was never allowed in the colonies of Britain. The colonies had felt like there rights were being trampled. The British insisted on direct taxation, the Americans refused to go along, leading on the revolution. Then the Americans turned to the French, who were still anti-British, for some assistance.

They assessed taxes on the colonies without having American representatives. * The conflicts were a training ground for the colonial troops. Many of leaders and soldiers on the fields that day were experienced veterans from the French and Indian wars. While the British leaders were experienced, but most troops had never seen combat.
