The American Revolution occurred throughout the thirteen colonies in what was once controlled under British Law. The people who had helped to develop America were fed up with paying taxes to England and having to share profits with a government that provided them with nothing in return. The colonists were fed up with Parliamentary rule and wanted to govern themselves.
The British had a lot to lose and had not wanted any changes. There were still people in America who supported the presence of the British. They were often afraid of change and the problems that would develop. The problems did rise ad the colonists and the British went to war. The war we now refer to as the Revolutionary War.
