Another main cause of the American Revolution was when the Declaration of Independence was written and signed. It was what declared America’s Revolution and independence of England.. The Declaration of Independence was drafted by the committee of five, but mainly written by Thomas Jefferson in June of 1776.

America’s declaration inspired several other countries to do the same thing, like the French, Dutch, Venezuelan, etc.

Maybe the English would still control America’s towns, or maybe there would still be colonies. Overall, America is America
