The History Channel presents a detailed look at the first days of the war for independence in American Revolution, Vol. 1: The Conflict Ignites. British rule over the colonies was costly to the Crown. In order to subsidize its outposts, it passed the Townsend Act which raised taxes on basic goods. The Boston Tea Party demonstrated American's rising resentments toward England. When the British insisted on taxation without representation, the Americans responded violently.
