The American Revolution (1775-83) is also known as the American Revolutionary War and the U.S. War of Independence. The conflict arose from growing tensions between residents of Great Britainâs 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown.
The 13 colonies whose delegates signed the Declaration of Independence were:     Delaware Pennsylvania Massachusetts New Hampshire Rhode Island New York   Georgia â¦ Virginia North Carolina South Carolina New Jersey Connecticut Maryland.17 people found this useful.It is important to note that not all colonists wanted independence. There was still about 500,000 whigs that were loyal to the British crown. It can be argued that the Revolutionary War was precipitated by leaders in society such as Ben Franklin, George Washington, Samuel Adams, John Adams, and many more.
