What was the American Revolution?

The American Revolution was a political upheaval where the thirtheen colonies joined to break free of the British Empire. Some of the causes that caused the colonists to rebel against the british was because the British get benefited with the fur trade, shared political rights as english subjects and also they proffited the cotton and more crops from all the colonies. This were the main causes why the colonists rebel against the British and the American Revolution was created.

Sugar Act

The Sugar Act was when the Parliament declared to pay taxes on every foreign molasses of things that were being imported to the colonies. They made that the French Molasses were more expensive then the British ones so colonists decided to pay more taxes to them then to the other ones. Lord Greenville was trying to make the colonies in line of the taxes. Later on many other products were also paying the taxes like: sugar, certain wines, coffee, pimiento, cambric and printed calico. All these products were also producing taxes to the British so one day the colonists were too tired of just working to pay the taxes of the British that they were angry so what they did was the British to stop the Sugar Act and invent something else that people was afford to pay.
