The American Revolutionary War (1775\u20131783), also known as the War of Independence, had its origins in the objections of many American colonists to the taxes imposed by Britain. After the boycotts known as the Boston Tea Party<\/a>, the colonists formed the Continental Congress, which declared independence from the King in July, 1776. War erupted soon afterwards.<\/p>\n

The American Revolution

Nicely organized into Battles, Important People, Historical Events, Historical Documents and a Timeline, this site has lots of concise American Revolution information for homework and school reports. Best clicks are transcripts of many primary source documents, such as George Washington’s first inaugural address and Patrick Henry’s famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nussbaum: American Revolution for Kids

Visit to learn about the battles of the American Revolution, see a timeline of the war, play word games, make your own Revolutionary War map, and scroll through some Revolutionary War flags. “The Betsy Ross flag is probably the most well-known of all revolutionary flags. Its 13 five pointed stars in the blue canton (corner box of a flag) represent the original 13 colonies. Despite the fact that many historians cast doubt on the assertion that Betsy Ross designed the flag, it has become a popular and generally accepted story.”<\/p>\n

Our American Revolution: Roads to Revolution

Created by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, this site tells the story of the American Revolution with articles, a timeline, biographies, and objects. “Between 1764 and 1775 thirteen British colonies in North America each started down their own road to revolution against the British Empire. As John Adams recalled, the colonies were so different in their government, religions, and customs, and had so little to do with each other, \u2018that to unite them in the same principles in theory and the same system of action’ would be an extraordinary feat.”<\/p>\n
