Prologue to a Revolution

The American Revolution started, and stemmed, from a plethora of issues—not just the Tea Act and the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Rather, unintended forces from Great Britain and the colonies merged to create the divisions that ultimately ignited the Revolutionary front. This article provides a survey of the facts—from the New Imperial Policy to the Boston Tea Party and First Continental Congress—to show the progression of colonial and British thought that caused the revolutionary rifts. More importantly, this piece reads like a well structured "history brief" so that the reader will be informed and enlightened upon finishing it.
