The Origins of the American War for Independence
The American War for Independence was not a true revolution but a struggle for equal rights and protection under the colonial charters. The catalyst came with the killing of American colonists at Lexington and Concord in 1775, leading to grievances regarding unwanted mercenary presence, loss of jury trials, and religious freedom infringements. These injustices culminated into a call for self-defense following British attacks on American citizens.
