During the American Revolution two groups of Americans disagreed about the unfair taxation of King George III. These groups were:

There were several causes for the American Revolution (War for Independence). Which of the folowing could be considered a main cause of the war?

Many English colonists were angered by the Stamp Act because

• voting to go along with the taxation laws set by Parliament

The French and Indian Was was fought between the British and the French over
