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 American Colonies revolted in 1775-1781. One cause was the high tax rates, which the colonies unified in rejecting. However, the colonists should have paid the taxes, the whole reason Britain needed the money in the first place was because of the French and Indian War.
