Birth of American Independence and Revolutionary War Origins
The narrative traces the Stamp Act protests of 1765, colonial resistance, and taxation debates leading to a full-scale revolt. It covers British military buildup, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the formation of a Continental Army under George Washington, key victories at Trenton and Saratoga, French aid, and the eventual American victory culminating in Cornwallis’s surrender at Yorktown and the 1783 peace establishing independent states.
