The American Revolution

The American Revolution mainly consists of the American colonists and the British army fighting against each other for years. The French then joined the revolution to help the colonists. Now this revolution consists of lots of different events. Take the Boston Tea Party as an example, when the colonists dressed as Native Americans and snuck onto a British cargo boat to hijack around 1 million dollars worth of tea. Or Lexington in Concord, the first battle between the British and the colonists, this happened because the British wanted to confiscate the colonists weapons. As you can see this revolution consisted of many different battles, these did not stop until the late 1770s. The revolution was declared over after the peace negotiations so that the British  and Americans didn’t have to live with the uncertainty that war could break out at any moment.

For this video we wanted to show lots of examples of the different battles to emphasize the hatred and tension between the British and the colonists.
