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.
In 1776, the Continental Congress wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence. This significant event was the official founding of the United States of America. However, her independence from Britain was not yet obtained.
In 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, and the United States had finally gained their independence.
In Assassin's Creed III
The American Revolution was a result of the conflict between the Assassin and Templar orders in the New World.
After Haytham Kenway and the Colonial Templars nearly wiped out Assassin influence in the Thirteen Colonies, Achilles Davenport recruited and trained Kanien'keha:ka Ratonhnhake:ton to be an Assassin.
Ratonhnhake:ton, more commonly known as Connor, had a significant role in the Revolution. Although his original motive was safety for his tribe, his goal turned into safety and freedom for Natives and Colonists alike. Connor had a hand in major events such as the Boston Tea Party and the Battles of Lexington and Concord and interacted with several Revolutionary leaders like Samuel Adams and George Washington.
While attacking the Templars, Connor helped the Revolution to gather support from the other colonies and France and eventually gain independence for the United States.
