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.
The year was 1776. The colonies had technically been in a state of war (or rebellion) for over a year, since the battles at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. The Declarâ¦ation of Independence is an open letter to George III, explaining why the American colonies considered themselves free from British rule.
