American Revolutionary War (17751783) The American Revolution began in 1775 as open conflict between the united 13 colonies

and Great Britain. Causes The British government decided to make the American colonies pay a large share of the war debt from the French and Indian War. Through the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and other taxes, the British tried to collect taxes that the American people. The inability to send American people to Britain's Parliament or at least vote for Britain's lawmakers. The combination of the harsh taxes and the lack of an American voice in Parliament gave rise to the famous phrase "taxation without representation" and the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Another cause of the Revolutionary War was the spreading of Enlightenment ideas in North America. (*) Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine The American boycott of taxed British tea led to the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, when shiploads of tea were destroyed.
