This battle was the final battle of the war.  On October 19th, the British surrendered, leading us to victory over not only the battle, but the war.

...and it all happened in Yorktown, Virginia.

There were many proposals given during this Congress. One of the most important proposals was whether or not, George Washington should be general and lead us to victory. George Washington did lead us to victory.

This was very Important since Paul Revere, Samuel Prescott and William Dawes warned us about the British. Without this warning, we wouldn't have been able to get ready.  A fun fact is that Paul Revere was caught and didn't lead the other two. Prescott fulfilled what Paul Revere was supposed to.

1775 The Battle of Lexington and Concord

# data[].attributes.body
The battle of Lexington made us mad since King George decided to have troops quartered in Boston. A fun fact is  that the "shot heard round the world" happened during this battle.  No one knew who shot it or from which side. Another fun yet sad fact is that the British won. The importance is that this was the first battle. The battle of Concord made us mad since they tried to capture John Hancock and Sam Adams.  In that battle we won and they retreated.

Common Sense written by Thomas Paine in 1776, challenged the British authority. The importance of this is that after this, many people joined the Patriots and helped our cause the more the merrier.

During the Boston Tea Party the colonists dressed up as the Mohawk Indian tribe. They snuck on boats and threw 90,000 lbs. of tea over board. In total that was 342 chests of tea which is equal to 3 shiploads.

The Boston Massacre was where we started mobbing the British by throwing blocks of ice and chips of wood. Although they weren't supposed to fire, they did for self-defense.  In the end, 5 of our men were killed and 6 were wounded. May they all rest in piece and G-d bless all of them.

There is much to say about this act. To summarize, I would have to say that there was now additional taxes on glass, paper, lead, paint and tea.

Parliament decided that what ever we want such as resolutions, orders and certain votes can't be passed, unless of course the British pass it.

This was one of three important congresses.  This congress was put together so they could try to repeal the stamp act.

This act said that we have to house the British and give them what they need to survive like food, water and of course shelter.

The Stamp Act is where the British made taxes on paper, legal documents and playing cards.   hey then decided to reduce taxes to 3 pence. but while reducing the taxes they made more taxes.

The currency act is when we had no silver or gold mines and we could only get them by trade. Many of the colonists felt no alternative to printing their own money. Then on September 1, 1764 the British made an act that they control our currency continuing with the pattern we were angered.

In the sugar act the taxes were now 6 pence (later reduced to 3 pence) for sugar and molasses which was something that was loved dearly in  the thirteen colonies angering us being something improtant.

The Battle was over and the British won. The colonists thought that now they would have more places to go, but the British shut us out and said you can no longer move this way angering us.

This was the battle with the French and their Indian allies versus British. One reason this is important is because this is when the British first started taxing us.
