Revolutionary War Era

The Revolutionary War Era (around 1775–1783) was a period when American colonies fought for independence from Britain. Tensions grew over issues like taxes and lack of representation, leading colonists to seek self-governance. Key events include protests like the Boston Tea Party, battles such as Saratoga and Yorktown, and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The war resulted in the colonies winning freedom, founding the United States, and establishing principles of democracy and liberty that shape the nation today.
