Revolutionary War
Revolutionary War
The American Revolution also known as the Revolutionary War was a war that ended with many sacrificial deaths but, it was the beginning of the formation of the United States of America. Neither, the United States nor, our identity as Americans would have ever existed, without this war. Down to 1774, the structure of the imperial controversy reinforced the colonists’ provincialism even as it exposed its limits. Americans repeatedly insisted that they sought only the restoration of their traditional political rights (Rakove, 2010). In 1760, there was a controversy over political rights in America; everything had seemed to subside except for in Massachusetts. There were existing problems that made politics more volatile and less manageable. Massachusetts had an unusually cohesive cluster of political leaders, centered in the capital of Boston but with reliable contacts in outlying towns, who remained suspicious of the secret designs of the British government (Rakove, 2010). The British Empire was in control of the northern land, which is now known as our homeland. The war was a political issue; colonists that lived in the British controlled land wanted the right to the liberties they thought they were entitled to. These liberties included the right to bring their legal cases before truly independent judges rather than ones subordinate to the king; to be free of the burden of having British troops quartered in their homes; to engage in trade without burdensome restrictions; and, of course, to pay no taxes voted by a British Parliament in which they had no direct representation (Wilson, Dilulio, & Bose, 2011). In order, for self-government, or for the colonists to be entitled to the liberties they expected, they would have to be independent. Therefore, thirteen colonies of the North American land rebelled against the powerful country of Britain to pursue their independence.
