America now is one of the most advanced and influential nations in the world, but did you know just less than 250 years ago America was under Britain’s control. Most Americans at the time were from Europe and believed themselves to be European, they were satisfied with their life until the British started the seven-year war with France. After the War Britain was in huge debt so they thought it was necessary to tax the colonists. But the Americans hated the taxes and started to rebel against Britain and that was the very start of the American Revolution.
