1770 – The high tax demands make the colonies start to make violent conflicts.
1775 – The Revolutionary War broke out in April. This was the start of the revolution. It all started as a rebellion against the big taxes the colonies had to pay to Great Britain. Then, the idea of independence was still considered radical.
1776 – The majority of the colonists came to realize that demanding their independence isn’t such a radical idea after all. The revolutionary war was still in full swing, but this is the time when the majority of the colonists didn’t felt as part of Great Britain anymore.
July 4th, 1776 – The Declaration of Independence is signed by all the colonists, and finally, the need for independence stirred to every colonist unanimously.
1777-78 – The battle of Saratoga becomes the turning point in American Independence history
1778-83 – Battle by battle both sides lost many battles. However, the war was at its final stages and drawing to a close. Finally, in late 1782, the British troops began to retreat and finally left America. The signing of the peace treaty finally signalized the end of the war, after eight long years.
Through each battle, the founding fathers, fought bravely so they can ensure that we as proud Americans, get to enjoy this wonderful era in this wonderful land!
