Timeline:
Why did the Pilgrims/Puritans leave England?
The Pilgrims left England for religious reasons because they believed that they were true Christians, determined to purify the Christian church and return to a scripture-based service. Pilgrim groups of Puritans gathered on their own until the English parliament outlawed independent congregations. Due to living under the constant threat of imprisonment or even execution, they were forced to flee after three years.

What happened during the Revolutionary War? Why were we fighting?
The American Revolution began in 1775 as open conflict between the united thirteen coloniesand Great Britain. By the Treaty of Paris that ended the war in 1783, the colonies had won their independence. While no one event can be pointed to as the actual cause of the revolution, the war began as a disagreement over the way in which Great Britain treated the colonies versus the way the colonies felt they should be treated. Americans felt they deserved all the rights of Englishmen. The British, on the other hand, felt that the colonies were created to be used in the way that best suited the crown and parliament. This conflict is embodied in one of the rallying cries of the American Revolution: No Taxation Without Representation.
Meaning, the 13 colonies have lived a hundred or so years setting up their own laws and means of living. They were happy with how things were going, why? Their bottom line, what they were grounded in, The Bible and the Word of God. The fighting began because they thought that they were being infringed upon, taken over, if you will.
After the final battle and independence was won, the Continental Congress set forth with 56 men, to write, edit and eventual agree to and sign the Declaration of Independence.

    What caused the American Revolution? In general terms, the American Revolution came about because the British government did not fully realize the seriousness of the unrest and dissatisfaction which soon developed in its colonies in North America. The British government in London considered the distant colonies more as a possession than as an extension of its territory and people. Ill-will between the British government and its colonies in North America began to develop after 1763. With France defeated in Canada, the British government then wished to strengthen its authority in North America. Political leaders in London decided to maintain a standing army in their colonies, and they imposed new taxes on the colonists to support the army.

    The Pilgrims separated from The Church of England because the church was too strict. They were told that they had to go to the church the government picked. This form of dictatorship was called "State Church." If one went against the states church they would have been arrested and thrown in jail. They were then tortured in an effort to make them changed their beliefs. If this was unsuccessful, they were put to death in very painful ways such as being hung, burned, or death by intense weight.

    The Revolutionary War began a rebellion for the colonial purpose of ridding themselves of the cruelty and tyranny placed on by the British. The British Empire in the late 1700’s had largely deepened in its rule over the colonists. Social regulations such as taxes and trade limitations had become imposed by the British army restricting many colonial Americans from living free. Taxes would soon be put on just about every imported British good to help clear off Britain’s debt after the Seven Years War. Once these taxes such as those on stamps, tea, and so on were set by the British Parliament, Americans became furious with it and began proclamation “No proclamations without representation”! The colonists of America slowly came to realize that they must break from Britain due to the growing feeling of being considered lower than the British.

After the war, in 1763, the British were starting to feel the strain that often follows war.

Because the British didn't back off and find other ways to pay off their debt, it forced the colonists to rebel and take up arms to fight back.…

    The American Revolution was a result of growing discontent between the thirteen colonies and Britain. The war began in April of 1775, when shots were fired in Lexington, Massachusetts. Eight years later, the war was put to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. A major conflict surrounding the war was “no taxation without representation”. The colonist believed in actual representation (the people) versus virtual representation (Parliament), “Distance weakens authority; great distance weakens authority greatly” (114). As Britain established a powerful military during the Seven Year’s War, the neglected colonies established a desire for independence.…

When started, Britain had complete control over all of the colonies, but over time the colonies began to establish their own ways to survive and prosper.
