| | American Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The American Revolution is the series of events, ideas, and changes that resulted in the revolution and ensuing political separation of thirteen colonies in North America from the British Empire and the creation of the United States of America with a new political system. | | | It is generally agreed that the revolution originated around the time of the French and Indian War (1754–1763), and ended with the election of George Washington as the first President of the United States in 1789. | | | The Intolerable Acts, called by the British the "Coercive Acts" or "Punitive Acts", were a series of laws, passed by the British Parliament in 1774, in response to the growing unrest in the thirteen American colonies, particularly in Boston, Massachusetts with its Boston Tea Party. |

| | The time was one of indecision, and the division of the people was symbolized by the split between Benjamin Franklin and his Loyalist son, William Franklin. | | | The leaders in the new country were those prominent either in the council halls or on the fields of the Revolution, and the first three Presidents after the Constitution of the United States was adopted were Washington, Adams, and Jefferson. | | | John Sullivan led an expedition (1779) against the British and Native Americans in upper New York. |

| | Among these qualities were a determination and a steadfastness of purpose rooted in an unshakable conviction of the righteousness of the American cause, a scrupulous sense of honor and duty, and a dignity that inspired respect and confidence in those around him. | | | This first American wartime draft was applied irregularly in the various states and succeeded no better than had earlier methods in filling the Continental ranks. | | | On the Americans, the effect was hardly sobering, and in the long run was perhaps not salutary. |
