A Piece of Revolutionary War History

During the beginning of Colonial America, there were many people who migrated from Europe to settle the new founded American Continent. They traveled from Europe to escape the laws, taxes, demands, and nobility brought upon them at the hands of King George III and Parliament. They wanted to be free from the tyranny of King George III. When the colonist arrived on the American Continent they felt freedoms that they had never before felt.

There were many harsh words written to King George III which made the revolutionary war impossible to stop.

Once this document was received King George declared war and was not willing to give up his rights to the Colonies without a fight. In my opinion there was nothing going to stop the revolutionary war from happening. There were too many harsh words, taxes imposed, rights taken away, and protests from both sides. The colonists wanted freedom and the British wanted to remain in control. There was nothing that could have prevented war it was inevitable
