I think you guys already have a brief idea of the revolution. Then we are going to go more deeply about it.........Ready? Go!

Many things contributed to the beginning of the American Revolution, mostly because of the new laws the British were passing on to the American colonies. As the "mother" country Britain expected obedience from its "children"colonies. But the colonists believed the British should respect certain rights. Starting in the mid-1760's, the Britishpassed a series of laws which would increase control over the colonies. The Americans however, were used to alarge measure of self-government. They strongly resisted the new laws, espescially the new tax laws. A fiercedebate developed over the British Parliament's right to tax the colonies without their consent.

The Sugar Act of 1764 not only aroused resentment among many American colonists, but the plan was also afailure. British officials barely collected enough money to pay their own salaries much less the costs involved incatching smugglers. The British government had to think of a better way to raise money to help pay for British soldiers in colonies. In 1765, British Parliament passed the Stamp Act. The law required all newspapers, pamphlets, and legal documents to bear stamps that were purchased from the British government. The Quartering Act that was passed soon after made matters worse. The law stated that colonists would have to supply food and housing for the British Army in America. The British government finally proclaimed Massechusetts, which was the sight of much
protest, to be in rebellion.

Well....Let's move onto the process of the American Revolution. It will be an exciting adventure!
