∙ 14y agoIt is a debatable fact since the number of Loyalists would have included those wary of antagonizing their Patriot neighbors. However, it is doubtful that the Colonial Army could have survived without the support of the majority of the residents of the respective colonies. There were probably an equal number of businesses within the British-controlled areas that dared not openly support independence.

True
americas war of independence is also known as the revolutionary war, but that is not what is meant to be called, it is actually the war of indepence.
The Declaration of Independence actually declared the rights of only men, not women or slaves. The Constitution addressed all colonists rights including women
The American Revolution came first. King Louis XV who was the King in France (the one that was overthrown and sent to the guillotine during the french revolution) actually gave money to help the American cause. The Americans could not have won the war if they had not received financial & political support from France.
The Treaty of Paris. Although a document actually sealed the independence several prior events did so in a more graphic manner. Perhaps the most notable was the willingness of the 'colonists' to stand up and fight for what they believed was correct and right.
Some people were imprisoned for being loyalists during the Revolutionary War. Most of then were put in jail for actually helping the British.
True, only 33 percent of the colonists actually supported the fight for Independence during the American Revolutionary War.
They declared independence in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence.However, they were not actually their own nation until the end of the Revolutionary War, in 1783.
The colonists were the people who started the revolutionary war. They wanted freedom from Britain, so they made the Declaration of Independence. They also chose George Washington as the leader for the army. Actually King George the 3rd started the tax acts which then led to the Revolutionary War

The UK relatively left the colonies to themselves. But once they saw that the colonies were prospering and actually doing better than the homeland, they got more involved, mainly by imposing taxes on the colonists. This angered the colonists and this is the main reason for the Revolutionary War and American independence.

Maybe to scare them to get them annoyed and then they would actually do it at the end.Cause they wouldn't take the pain.

Actually it was there since the revolutionary war and colonists back then had a parade under it for there freedom from the king of England or somewhere else. I'm pretty sure it is still there today :]
France and to a lesser degree The Netherlands (Holland) and Spain helped the colonists during the American Revolution (actually war for independence).
The Colonist called themselfs Americans because they were independent from Britain when they signed The Declaration of Independence. Actually they were called americans because they were colonized in the Americas
our independence from Great Britain
