The colonist dressed up like mohawk Indians and dumped the british tea in the harbor
The first military battles of the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord and again at Bunker Hill showed the British that the colonists were serious in seeking change. The surrender of Britain at Saratoga and their further defeat at Cowpens brought the war to full seriousness and made it a true fight for independence.
The harsh taxes put on the colonist after the French and Indian War. the British needed a way to pay for their war debts so the taxed the colonist heavily. No taxation without representation. And the King of England (George III) didn't listen to them.
Several events led to the Battle of Lexington. It started when the British government heavily taxed American colonies. Then came a chain of reaction that urged American colonies to take up arms against the British.
The British had fought a 7 years war against the French. This effort was to protect the colonist. The war ended in 1763. A standing army of 10,000 men remained to ensure protection. The British government decided that the colonist should in part pay the cost of this army. The Sugar tax and other measures (tax on tea -tax on paper etc.) were all in -direct taxation system designed to raise revenue to help with the costs. They all failed. They simply encouraged smuggling. Too many colonists did not want to pay and more importantly did not want the British to impose taxes in general on them. Those colonists who wished to be independent from Britain used this opportunity - events led to the War of Independence. Those who rebelled against the British became known as patriots.
