Long term causes of the American revolution?

Answer 1

Taxation without representation. Significant distance of the ever-growing American colonies from Great Britain. Recognition of the value of goods produced by American colonists, combined with the desire of both parties (The Americans and the British) to exploit this value for themselves. Of course, there are several more, but this should serve as a good start.

Answer 4

The American Revolution's most important short-term effect was the creation of a small but resourceful new nation in North America, with the corollary effect of shutting out the British from the richest portion of North American lands and resources. The long-term effects of the American Revolution are difficult to summarize cogently, as they have been so many and so important, such as the rise to super-power status of the United States in the 20th century and the gradual spread of American political ideals throughout the world.
