Summary: The Revolutionary Movement
The revolutionary movement was about independence. The Revolution broke out because “Britain failed to recognize an emerging nation when it saw one” When it comes down to it, the founding father themselves had the revolutionary ideas. The revolution was primarily powered by the need for the colonists’ traditional rights to be reserved. The colonists were already growing a sense of their own national identity after the French and Indian War, they slowly started to not feel the urge to depend on England as much as they did before. The colonists began to become angered by the British’s outrageous taxations and Acts.
