Causes of the revolution

There were many causes of the American Revolution including the Boston Tea
Party, the Stamp Act, and the Boston Massacre. The Boston Tea Party took
place on December 16, 1773 and lasted from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Over
90,000 pounds (or 45 tons) of tea were dumped into the Boston Harbor.
Another cause of the Revolution was the Boston Massacre took place actually
before the Boston Tea Party on March 5, 1770. The Boston Massacre started
a group of colonists started throwing snow chunks, sticks and, rocks and
shouting insults at a passing group of British soldiers. Then the British fired into
the Patriot mob, killing 5 and injuring 3. Another cause of the Revolution was
the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act unfairly taxed the American colonists by King
George ||| in 1765. The Stamp Act was said to pay a tax on printed materials
such as, newspapers, magazines, and regular paper. The Stamp Act was called
that because the colonies were supposed to by paper from Britain that had the
official stamp on it that showed that they had to pay the tax.

The Battle of Brooklyn
The first battle of the Revolutionary War took place in Brooklyn, New York in
1776, just eight weeks after the Declaration of Independence was signed. The
British had an army of 130 ships and about 32,000 men, while George
Washington a continental general, split his about 19,000
men up between Manhattan and Brooklyn, that was not a great idea because
George badly lost the battle. When the battle was over, many of his militiamen
left the militia. George Washington learned some valuable lessons that day.
