There are many opinions on what historical event impacted the United States the most. Just about all events impacted the U.S. in some way, but in my opinion the American Revolution impacted the most because, without that event there would be no constitution. It started as all thirteen colonies joining together to break free from British ruling. The American Revolution consisted of many acts. One of the first acts done by Americans in December of 1773 was the Boston Tea Party, which was done to protest the British tax policies by dumping 342 crates of tea into the Boston Harbor.

How America became a great nation from 1763 to 1815 In a broad sense America was a revolutionary force from the day of its discovery by Europeans. The American Revolution was the political disturbance during the last half of the 18th century in which the thirteen colonies in North America joined together to free from the British Empire, to become the United States of America. Mainly two ideas had taken root in the minds of the American by the mid of eighteenth century; one was what historians called it republicanism and the second idea that shaped American political thought was derived from a group of British political commentators was known as the radical Whigs. The war between the Europeans and American may have lasted for eight years,
The American Revolution had major change in our history. The American Revolution, also called the War of Independence, took place from 1775-1783. This war was when the 13 colonies of North America united and tried to break away from Britain’s rule.

According to the documents analyzed there can be two different ways of thinking of this question.
