The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a conflict between 13 British colonies in North America and their parent country, Great Britain. It was made up of two related events: the American War of Independence (1775-1783) and the formation of the American government as laid out by the Constitution of the United States in 1787. First, the war achieved independence from Great Britain by the colonies.
How Revolutionary was the American Revolution The American revolution was during the last half of the 18th century in which thirteen colonies in North America joined together to break free from British rule, combining to become the United States of America. The American Revolution had momentous consequences. Though the question is, how revolutionary was the American Revolution? Furthermore, was it a huge turn or just partial, to the shaping of the United States or the impacts it has had to this day? The American Revolution has caused changes, in such as political independence, social equality, land reform, and economics.

Evolution of the American Revolution: Causation to Sovereignty The American Revolution is described as the political uprising of the thirteen British Colonies of North America against the British Empire during the last half of the eighteenth century. Officially, the conflict lasted from 1775, starting with the “shot heard round the world,” to 1783 when the British Government recognized the independence of the colonies as one sovereign nation. The Revolutionary War was preceded by politically, socially, and economically related ideals and events that altogether inspired the unification of the independent colonies and their separation from the British Empire. The key influences of the American Revolution include: the French and Indian War; the Navigation, Currency, Stamp Tax, Declaratory, Townsend Duties, Tea, and Intolerable Acts; as well as the political and religious ideals of the colonists. The revolutionary era for the American Colonies began around 1763 after the British removed the military threat of the French from North America during the French and Indian War, which resulted in substantial economic debt for the British Empire.
AFRICA AND THE DOMINIONS To what extent did the Americans’ Declaration of Independence emerge from a failure of British Policy? BY Ademola Adebiyi Tutors name: Jane Ridley America gained independence from Great Britain on the 4 of june1776 after the American Revolution; the American Revolution was regarded as one of the greatest movements in human history. The revolution that took place in America had been argued to be triggered by varies of event happening in America and around the world at that period of time, some Americans argue that it was their uprising that allowed the British to give them their freedom while on the other hand some English historians believe it was due to their mistake they lost America but what lead to the outcome of the American Revolution can be traced back to the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and many other obstacles. In this essay, I will argue that the American’s Revolution was the making of Great Britain herself by observing the steps Great Britain took during their period in America and others underlying events that lead to one of the Greatest Revolution in history. England during the seventeenth had got more countries under their control than their European counterpart especially France, which them to be regarded as Great Britain especially after their unification with Scotland.
It is not rational to believe that being "color-blind" aids racism and our country is in a post racial space. "For example, critical multi- cultural education brings the significance of race to the fore in its analysis of social relations (Ladson-Billings, 1997), whereas liberal discourses tend to disguise racial inequality by employing the rhetoric of equal opportunity and fair treatment. Looking at race critically is the only way to closely analyze the way it effects American society. Talking about race liberally does nothing more than avoid the real problem. Recent tragedies rooted in racism, such as school shootings, mass incarceration of blacks, and the widening gap of income inequality prove that America is far from post racial attitudes.
It could be argued that there are multiple factors that could be argued to be the primary cause of the American Revolution. These factors include social, economic, and political causes, all of which branch out into far more intricate categories. However, a major precursor of the revolution was the tyrannical control with which Britain treated the Americans as an inferior people, mainly through absurd taxes. The colonists began to see the economic restraints that Britain’s laws placed on their lives. Americans grew to believe that the many taxes were levied for the enhancement of British capital at the expense of American welfare.
When they won the French and Indian War, England had to make a few reforms. King George III declared the Proclamation of 1763, which forbid American colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains in an effort the stabilize relations with the Native Americans. However this angered many colonists who had land grants there and in turn, the Proclamation Line was ignored. This was the start of a series of disagreements between the two lands, as the American citizens began to gain a stronger taste for independence. Enlightenment writers such as John Locke, who patented the idea that it

Montesquieu, in his famous ‘De l’Espirit des Lois’, he was intrigued by the British government that was a constitutional monarchy, and was mixture of representatives, especially
