independence. It continued for more than a decade before the American Revolution took
place.
The earlier British government allowed colonist to take part in daily economic activities
without any interference from the British government, The American Revolution began when
the British government began secure their territory. Its land policy prohibited colonist from
settling in the west. Various attempts were taken by the British government to raise money
and controlling trade which led to increase in resistance form colonist.
The British government was stronger as compared to colonist as they had a trained army and
Loyalist. The British government attempted to raise taxes by collecting revenue from
colonies. That lead to protest among many colonists and they demanded the same right as the
British. Actions were taken against the government where a group of liberates boarded
British ships and destroyed tea which was transported in the ship. The parliament took action
by closing the ports and shipping to claim authority.

that the American Revolution which began with civil war between the British and its colonies
had become a world war.
At that time the British colonies in America revolt against the rule of Great Britain. As a
result colonies fought many battles with British government and attained freedom and
become the independent country of the United States. Colonist felt that they were not equally
represented in the parliament by the British government that was one of the main reasons
behind the revolt.
Initially, the colonist protested against the British government and small conflict among the
British army and colonist took place. After few such disputes in multiple years, the war took
place against the British government. Each Colonist appointed their own government and
their officials represented them in the first continental congress meeting. Later in the Second
Continental Congress meeting colonist got independence from the British government and
formed the United States.
The government formed by the unity of the entire colonist named as United States that was
different from British government. The concept of the rule of the king was removed as a part
of the government and democracy was formed where people can choose the government.
In other words, it can be stated that the American Revolution was related to trade and
economic influence.it was fought over the moral issue of slavery economics and political
system. It was the struggle to free slaves and to preserve the union. Congress passed laws
permitting the seizure of slaves from the property of rebellious Southerners. Slaves got
freedom from slavery and the northern states adopted liberating plans. Constitutions were
created that guaranteed freedom and made taxation adaptable.
