The American Revolution surveys the imperial crisis that transformed thirteen British colonies into an independent republic. It traces taxation disputes, popular protest, the outbreak of war at Lexington and Concord, the Declaration of Independence and the military struggle against Britain.
The account follows major campaigns, foreign alliances and the different experiences of loyalists, enslaved people, Native nations and civilians. It concludes with Yorktown, the peace settlement and the constitutional problems created by independence, showing that the revolution changed political authority without resolving every conflict over rights and citizenship.
