REVOLUTIONARY WAR What was the American Revolution? The American Revolution was the name of the war that the colonists fought to gain their freedom from Great Britain. A revolution is an overthrow of one's government. Why did the American Revolution take place? The American Revolution took place because the colonists and Great Britain disagreed about: • Taxation without representation: the colonists had no say over the taxes that Great Britain wanted them to pay; • Trade agreements: the British would allow the colonists to trade only with them; • Self-government: the colonists wanted more say in their own government. The American Revolution began on April 19, 1775 in the towns of Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, and lasted until 1782 when peace talks were begun. © Copyright NewPath Learning.
