What happen in the time period of 1773-1776?

Between 1773 and 1776, tensions escalated between the American colonies and British authorities, primarily over issues of taxation and governance without representation. The Boston Tea Party in December 1773, a protest against the Tea Act, marked a significant turning point, leading to the Intolerable Acts in 1774, which further inflamed colonial dissent. In 1775, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War occurred at Lexington and Concord, and by July 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, formally severing ties with Britain. This period laid the groundwork for the ensuing conflict and the quest for American independence.
