This conflict is embodied in one of the rallying cries of the American Revolution: No Taxation Without Representation.…

The American Revolution began in 1765 and ended in 1783. It started after the Seven Years’ War, which meant that Britain had to pay off debts and enforce more protection on America. The Revolution was caused by disagreements between the American colonists and the British government, or monarchy. The charges leveled in the Declaration of Independence against the King were absolutely valid and justified.

The King’s decisions, regarding America, affected the colonists socially, politically, and economically. These decisions later created a tension and need for separation between the Americans and the British monarchy.…

The American Revolution was sparked by a myriad of causes. These causes in themselves could not have sparked such a massive rebellion in the nation, but as the problems of the colonies cumulated, their collective impact spilt over and the American Revolution ensued. Many say that this war could have been easily avoided and was poorly handled by both sides, British and American; but as one will see, the frame of thought of the colonists was poorly suited to accept British measures which sought to "overstep" it's power in the Americas.

The American Revolution was one of the biggest turning points in American history. The revolution was a huge turning point because it turned America, a land owned and manipulated by Great Britain into a newly established country. The men and women who settled in America before the Revolution experienced hardships, unjust taxations, and had to oblige by the monarch’s rule. The revolution gave these people a chance to stand up for themselves as well as govern themselves. There were about 350,000 eligible men to fight in the American Revolution and more than 200,000 enlisted to fight. This shows how strong the American people felt about gaining their independence. Once the independence was won the American people began to formulate a government that was right for them. Through the Articles of Confederation, the new democratic ideology, first state constitutions, and even the Declaration of Rights, the country was well on its way to becoming well-constructed.

The new government system was created to be different than Great Britain’s. Since it was a government created for the people by the people, it helped…
