The American Revolution was a political upheaval during the latter half of the 18th century, in which the Thirteen Colonies of North America desired to obtain their independence from Great Britain.
After the French and Indian War, Britain had massive war debts; one solution was to directly tax the Thirteen Colonies. After a series of acts were passed and revoked, protesters in Boston boarded ships from the British East India Company docked at Griffin's Wharf and threw hundreds of tea crates into the sea. This event became known as the Boston Tea Party, which is commonly accepted as the start of the Revolution, and led to the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783.
