WHY WAR?
The Revolutionary War (1775–1783) began as a struggle between the world’s most powerful country, Great Britain, and its 13 American colonies. Before the war Great Britain ruled over the colonies, and most colonists were proud to be British subjects. They also enjoyed the freedom of living in America—an ocean away from Great Britain’s rule. But during the war, many colonists sacrificed their lives so the colonies could become independent from Britain. How did the once-proud British subjects get to the point of war?
The first colonists came to America in the 1600s. For the next 150 years, government leaders in London largely left the colonists alone. Each colony set up its own government and methods for collecting taxes. The money collected through taxes was used within the local colonies.
Colonists in Jamestown, in what became Virginia colony, worked hard to establish homes and jobs. Because Great Britain was so far away, they did so without much government control.
As Great Britain’s empire grew, the task of ruling became harder. Parliament passed new laws that directly affected colonists. Great Britain showed it had ultimate power over the colonies.
Colonists felt like they were being treated unfairly. They had not elected any representatives to Parliament. So they didn’t have anyone in the British government to defend their rights.
Their frustration turned into anger when British officials began inspecting ships carrying goods in and out of the colonies. Then Great Britain stationed its soldiers in the colonies. The tension between colonists and Great
