Why the American Colonists Rebelled
The American colonists' rebellion against British rule was fueled by a series of oppressive measures imposed by Parliament. Key grievances included taxation without representation and violations of fundamental rights, which ignited tensions leading to events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. The unity among the colonies grew as they rallied against British authority, culminating in the formation of local militias and the endorsement of the Suffolk Resolves.
