    The American War of Independence 3

    [ 1775-1783]

    The American Revolutionary War, also known as


    the American War of Independence, was fought
    primarily between the Kingdom of Great Britain
    and her Thirteen Colonies in America, resulting
    in the overthrow of British rule in the colonies
    and the establishment of the United States of
    America. 

    Dates: 19 Apr 1775 – 3 Sep 1783


    Location : Eastern North America and the 
    Atlantic Ocean

    Final battle: Siege of Yorktown


    CAUSES 4

    1. •
    Founding of the colonies
    :
    The discovery of the American continent-the
    New world in the 16th century.

    By the middle of the 18th C,13 British colonies


    had been established along the Atlantic Coast
    of North America.

    By the mid-18th C , these colonies developed


    into prosperous agricultural settlements,
    mainly in the south, with small but flourishing
    industries in the north and a thriving overseas
    trade.

    Each colony was exploited by the British


    government as being imposed by series of
    heavy taxes followed by laws.

    2. No Taxation without Representation

    • Prior to 1764, the British government had pretty much left the colonists
    alone to govern themselves. In 1764, they began to impose new laws and
    taxes.
    • They implemented a number of laws including the Sugar Act, Currency
    Act, Quartering Act, and the Stamp Act.
    • The colonists were not happy with the new taxes. They said they should
    not have to pay British taxes because they had no representatives in
    the British Parliament. Their motto became “No Taxation
    Without Representation."

    3. Protest in Boston
    • Many colonists began to protest against these new British
    taxes and laws. A group called the Sons of Liberty formed in
    1765 in Boston and soon spread throughout the colonies.
    During one protest in Boston, a fight broke out and several
    colonists were shot and killed. This incident became known as
    the Boston Massacre.

    • In 1773, the British imposed a new tax on


    tea. Several patriots in Boston protested this
    act by boarding ships in Boston harbor and
    dumping their tea into the water. This protest
    became known as the Boston Tea Party.

    4. Intolerable Acts

    The British decided that the colonies needed to be punished for the Boston Tea Party.
    They issued a number of new laws that the colonists called the Intolerable Acts.

    Boston Blockade
    One of the Intolerable Acts was the Boston Port Act which shut down the port of Boston
    for trade. British ships blockaded Boston Harbor, punishing everyone who lived in Boston,
    both patriots and loyalists.
    This angered not only people in Boston, but also people in other colonies who were
    afraid the British would do the same thing to them.
