The American Revolution (1775-1783), also know as the American War of Independence, was a conflict between thirteen British colonies on the east coast of North America and their mother country, Great Britain. The war resulted in the colonies becoming a separate nation, the United States of America. Even though “it’s causes were so complex as to defy complete analysis” (“American” 59) taxation was a leading cause of the war. The colonists felt they should not have “taxation without representation” (“Revolutionary” 277). Three of the main taxes were the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Act, and the Tea Act.
