At the conclusion (in 1763) of the French/Indian War on the North American continent, tensions between the colonists and their British overlords increased due to economic pressures imposed by Great Britain and a surging self-confidence (and sense of independence) on the part of the colonists themselves. The Revolutionary War was not, however, inevitable as a result -- and for one reason alone: these tensions calmed through a conscious decision on the part of Great Britain's government to rescind the pressure-causing economic measures. Some years later, Great Britain again (under the moderate guidance of Lord North in Parliament) backed off from controversial economic measures. It would take more than economics-generated pressures to instigate the War of Independence.

A major new political innovation that emerged in the revolutionary era was?
One underlying ideological cause of the Revolutionary War was the concept of "no taxation without representation." Colonists believed that they should have a voice in the British government and should not be subjected to taxes imposed upon them without their consent. This belief in representative government and political autonomy played a significant role in driving the colonists to seek independence from Britain.

During the Revolutionary War, the political views of the colonists were largely divided between Loyalists, who remained loyal to the British Crown, and Patriots, who sought independence and self-governance. Patriots advocated for individual rights, representative government, and resistance to British taxation without representation. Many colonists were influenced by Enlightenment ideas, emphasizing liberty and equality. The clash between these ideologies ultimately fueled the desire for independence and shaped the formation of a new nation.
