The years 1765-1783 were one of the most important years for America. It was the beginning of a great nation. These years were when the thirteen American colonies rejected the rule of Britain. The Revolution was America’s actual breaking point. They started this revolution due to two main things which were the being Anti-imperialistic (Imperialism is the act whereby a particular nation controls the economics and politics of a weaker nation) and the Social changes in the colonies.

In their imperialistic society, it was based on three main things;


 * 1) Mercantilism: It is the type of trading that was done in the colonies, it's main purpose is to benefit the mother country.
 * 2) Navigation Acts: These were a series of laws that prevented the use of foreign ships for trade between Britain and it's colonies.
 * 3) Taxation without representation: The stamp Act.
