The Boston Tea Party occured before the American Revolution. In this event, Patriots dressed up as Native Indians so the English wouldn't recognize them, they brought huge crates of tea, and they boarded a ship. Once they got to their location, they began to dump out all of the tea that they brung. They did this because they were tired of being taxed for tea and many more things. But they got caught, and they were punished. This event was an another reason on why the American Revolution started. -
The First Continental Congress happened prior to the American Revolution.

The Battle of Bunker Hill was also one of the major battles during the American Revolution, it was one of the first stages of the Revolution.

The Battle of Yorktown was the last battle of the American Revolution. The Americans won this battle and forced the British to surrender. And since this was the last battle and the Americans won it, that means the Americans won the American Revolutionary War.

General Washington is such an inspiration to many people today. -
The Treaty of Paris, 1783 ended the American Revolutionary War for good. Both America and British Representatives signed the treaty to end the war completely. It is insane that America went on this crazy rollercoaster just to have their independence. it took hard work and dedication to get their independence and that is just mind blowing to think about. This win from America is deserved and I am so happy that we have out independence back!
