American Revolution

            The American revolution started when the people of England were upset about the kings decision to make the Church of England the national church of England and many of the pilgrims were angry and sailed to the New land. were they found many oppotunities, but not for alot of the settelers that were in debt to some companies in England and had to work for a few years so they could pay of the price of the trip to the new land. Well anyway many of the settelers started practicing their new religions and all was fine and dandy until the King of England Started to pack on the tariffs on good that the were imported or exported to the new land. So the settelers rebeled and the king didnt listen to them. the king also started to tax them for getting a stamp on necessary documents such as birth certificates, etc. This was called the Stamp act, many of the settelers got even angrier at the fact that the king was not listening to any of the settelers arguments. and rebeled the king also put a tax on tea (which lead to the Boston tea party event later on).well one thing led to another and the king started to see tjis as a case of a son disobeying his father and had to discipline him. so the king sent groups of armies to america and the settelers saw this as a threat and acted on it. the first battle was the Battle of lexington also known as the shot heard around the world. this set off a massive chain reaction and before you know it the Americans are at war with England.
