In the event of an American victory in the American Revolution, it would result in the birth of a new nation. However, before the American Revolution, the early American colonies were already growing impatient with British rule. This was mostly the result of a foreign country trying to rule people an ocean away, and by rule that meant collecting taxes that Americans found unfair. This rebellion against British rule became more widespread since the passage of the Stamp Act of 1765, created primarily by George Greenville. Adopting this tax was a way for Great Britain to strengthen its authority in the colonies and ease their financial burden. However, from the British perspective, this was not the only goal of these acts, as they also wanted to build a defense against foreign nations and ensure that Britain benefited from their acts of trade (Alden 4). This ideology of easing their burden by taxing the colonies failed instantly, as the colonist refused to pay the taxes at any cost. It became impossible to sell the stamps and anyone who dared to try was threatened with violence. The rebellious nature of Americans against new methods of taxation led to the creation of the Stamp Act Congress. The Congressional Stamp Act denied Parliament's right to levy an internal tax in the colonies and expressed American discontent. The colonists insisted that the law be repealed and reinforced their demand by refusing to import British goods. Which led to Britain becoming furious with its estranged subjects when the colonist began to declare acts of tyranny against them. With the refusal of British imports to America and constant rioting, British troops were sent to Boston to protect the customs commissioners, but were met by angry colonists, leading to the Boston Massacre...... middle paper......as the war became more costly and no longer worth Britain's trouble, as America made it clear it would continue the fight. As a result, the Thirteen Colonies became the United States of America and no longer separated from the British Empire by the summer of 1776. In conclusion, the American Revolution was not just another war, but, for lack of best words, a teenager fighting their parents achieve their independence. However, Britain felt that this was an attack by the colonies it was desperately trying to protect through misguided actions, such as imposing taxes that were considered unconstitutional. Without the consolidation of the settlers of the time, the United States would not be the global superpower that it is today. The American Revolution was essentially the start of something great and a defining moment in establishing the identity of the United States as a separate entity..
