Document: "The Road to Revolution"

"The Road to Revolution" describes the series of events and factors that led American colonists to seek independence from Britain. Tensions grew due to unfair taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Tea Act, along with restrictions on self-governance and economic freedom. These actions ignited protests, like the Boston Tea Party, and fueled a desire for autonomy. The colonists increasingly disagreed with British authority, culminating in acts of resistance and the push for independence, eventually leading to the American Revolution. The document highlights how economic, political, and ideological differences fostered a movement toward self-rule.
