The American Revolution is one of the greatest struggles for freedom the world has ever seen. "No Taxation Without Representation!" Went the cry of the colonists, and indeed they rejected the right of the English Congress to tax them without having any representatives of their own in British Parliament. The small revolt grew to an all-out war, to which the French and other countries joined as well and culminating with the independence of the United States and ultimately to the creation of the United States as we know it today.
