When history looks beyond the immediate cause of the American Revolution for.
the justifying principles, it is very soon brought back to the spirit of English liberty. The.
American Revolution occurred because of Great Britain's failure to adjust to conditions.
brought on by the growth and development of the colonies and by the aggravation of a.

subconsciously aware of the situation, led their lives as they pleased, with or without.
having the guidance of Great Britain.
After winning the French and Indian war, Britain felt it had the right to start.
