CAUSES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Chapter 5
Maybe its just too catchy, but the question here is "Should we stay or should we go?" (and understand why of course). Along the lines of this question, we will be looking at what led up to the American colonies declaring independence from Britain in the midst of a war for independence. Parliament, a Tea Party and Common Sense all played a role in increasing tension and conflict between the colonies and Britain.
