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.
By the time of the American Revolutionary War the colonies were split into 13 different colonies. Massachusetts Bay Colony became the cradle of the revolution with men such as: Samuel Adams, John Adams, John Hancock, James Otis, Paul Revere and Joseph Warren leading the way. The puritanical ideas of the past influenced these men significantly and their ideas of government.
