Chapter 17 part one

The North American Revolution
I remember the American Revolution as a chance to gain independence from the British rule with the Declaration of Independence in 1776. I also remember that the thirteen colonies being unhappy about the imposed taxes and other things from the British rule. I thought it was interesting and right to find that the American Revolution was a conservative one compared to all the other revolutions because they still wanted to save the existing liberties of the colonies rather than create new ones like in France. I can see why they didn't break away from the British empire because of the protection if they ever went to war with some country, easy access to their markets and the status of being "Englishmen". After some time the British wanted to "extract more revenue" from the colonies which made them seek independence which i don't blame them for doing so.
