The Revolutionary War officially began in 1775, starting with the fighting at Lexington and Concord. It concluded in 1781, concluding with the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
Colonists were fighting for independence due to a lack of representation in the British Parliament and opposition to various taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Act.
The initial spark for the Revolutionary War can be traced back to the Battle of Lexington and Concord, where British troops aimed to seize colonist weapons.
It's concerning that many Americans lack basic knowledge about the Revolutionary War, despite its significance in shaping the nation's origins and identity.
