So for the American Revolution you must know the Road to Revolution (1763 - 1776) In 1763 England won the 7 Year's War - ending Salutary Neglect. England built up a large debt, and began taxing the colonist to pay for future protection. One of the first acts was the Stamp Act,
The Stamp Act taxed all Paper Goods like playing cards and documents and newspapers. The colonist were furious, and decided to fight back. They established the Stamp Act Congress, and got what they wanted - England Repealed the Stamp Act!
