The American Revolution. Otherwise known as the revolutionary war. It started because Britain was making the colonies pay unfair taxes. The colonists sent letters over and over again complaining. But Britain's king (King George the 3rd) just ignored the letters. Soon King George the 3rd sent British solders to make sure the colonists paid there taxes. This crossed the line. In Massachusetts a group of men threw snowballs at the solders calling them bloody backs because of their red uniforms. The British solders fired their guns at the men who were not armed. The solders were sent to court for their actions. Therefore the result of the issue between the colonies and Britain resulted in the American Revolution.
