Britain and the colonies had just fought together against the French in the French and Indian war and won. Soon after problems started to arise and before anyone knew it the colonies and Britain were getting ready for the Revolutionary War. But don’t you wonder why the colonists declared a Revolutionary War on Britain? I think they were sick of their freedom being limited. Such as being told were they can settle, be taxed on everyday items, and being told what they could do.

Britain passed the Proclamation of 1763. It stated that colonists could not settle west of the Appalachian Mountains. In order to prevent another up rise like Pontiac’s Rebellion, Britain wanted to keep the land with the Native American allies. Another war with the Native Americans would’ve put Britain in extreme debt. Many of the colonists had no land of their own. It also caused colonists to lose their money after buying land as an investment. When the Proclamation of 1763 was passed the colonists were upset because they felt they didn’t get the freedom that they earned, after winning the French and Indian War.

Since Britain was in debt after the war they turned to the colonies for money. In 1764 Parliaments passed The Sugar Act. The Sugar Act taxed goods such as sugar, molasses, and other goods. In 1765 Parliament passed the Quartering Act. The Quartering Act required colonists to house British soldiers and provide them with supplies they needed. Parliaments also passed another law called The Stamp Act. This law required all legal and commercial documents to carry and official stamp showing that a tax had been paid. The colonists had to pay for stamps with silver coins which were a limited item in the colonies.

The Coercive Acts also known as the Intolerable Acts by the colonists, would close the Port of Boston, banned the Committees of Correspondence, allow Britain to house British soldiers wherever needed, and let British officials accused of crimes in the colonies stand trial in Britain. This act only affected Massachusetts but the other colonies felt as if this could happen to Massachusetts it could happen to them as well. The colonies offered Massachusetts their help by sending clothes, food and money. By doing this act of kindness they felt that they were helping them in their time of need.

I would keep the conclusion succinct: "We Won."

The Colonial army was eventually victorious. Not because of any great leadership but because of the English themselves. England had to use a 3000 mile supply line they had to face guerrilla(Spanish for "little war") warfare. This was something that they had never encountered. They had just finished the 100 years war on the continent and were drained. They were using German mercenaries, a practice that has never worked. And their top General, Cornwallis, would not have made Sgt in a real army.

The human beings felt abused by using the English. the government became into in England, the colonialists had no say interior the government, yet have been taxed. infantrymen have been housed in human beings's private residences with out charge. there have been regulations on commerce and price lists on products. the human beings felt like 2d type electorate not real individuals of the united kingdom. while the King found out of the unrest he desperate to disarm the human beings so as that they won't combat back. while the protection rigidity tried to take the human beings's weapons they fought back because of the fact in the event that they did not have weapons they won't shield themselves against criminals or assaults by using the nearby human beings and the French. that rather is what all started the conflict.

If you need a conclusion to your summary above maybe jus ttry tying the whole thing up. What was the end result of these events - on both sides of the ocean. What would be the next step in the birth of this conflict? Were we past the point of no return and conflict was now inevitable? A conclusion should remind the reader of your main point, and possibly entice him to delve deeper into the topic.
