The American Revolution (1775-83) is also known as the American Revolutionary War and the U.S. War of Independence. The conflict arose from growing tensions between residents of Great Britainâs 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown.
In the early 1600s, Britain established 13 colonies in what is today the northeastern seaboard of the United States. They included Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.he Thirteen Colonies were officially part of British North America, along with colonies in what is now Canada. The first settlers arrived around 1600. Many British colonists created bad relations with Native Peoples by totally misunderstanding and even mistreating them.
