The four events that led to the Revolutionary War are:
-
Rising taxes - The British government imposed various taxes on the colonies, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, which angered colonists who felt they were being taxed without representation.
-
Frustration among colonists - There was growing frustration among colonists over British rule, leading to a desire for greater autonomy and self-governance.
-
Land boundary disagreements - Disputes over land, such as those stemming from the Proclamation of 1763 which restricted westward expansion, contributed to tensions between the colonists and the British government.
-
Continental Congress - The gathering of representatives from the colonies in the Continental Congress was a significant step towards uniting them in opposition to British rule and coordinating resistance efforts.
