Definition of Revolution (mention that revolutions are usually fought in order to gain freedom and peace. 2-3 sentences). Throughout history, there were many revolutions. From 1775 to 1783, there was a conflict between Great Britain and the 13 North American Colonies known as the American Revolutionary War.

Originally called the American War of Independence, the American Revolutionary War started in April 1775, when British soldiers exchanged gunfire at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts, where many colonists were killed. Described as "the shot heard round the world," it signaled the start of the American Revolution. The colonist were already upset at Great Britain because of the increases in taxes and laws. The colonists wanted there freedom, so in April 19, 1775, the war began.

The reason why the war during the 1770s and 1780s is called the American Revolutionary War is simple. The 13 colonists, later to be known as Americans, sought for their freedom, and rebelled against Britain. They fought back, wanting a revolution in order to make this newly known land (North America) their own. They wanted to govern it without being withheld by Great Brtain. They created the Declaration of Independce and the Bill of Rights because they wanted that, hence the name: the American Revolutionary War.
