The American Revolution
The American Revolution was a very important event going on at the time an it was a war that would either secure America for the British for a very long time or free it from there grasp for forever. The American Revolution was led up to by a number of events caused by either side Such as the Boston Tea Party, The Boston Massacre, and the Stamp Act of 1765. In 1775 The American Revolution began with "The Shot Heard Round the World" on April 19, 1775. During The war many memorable events occurred such as General Benedict Arnolds, one of George Washington's trusted friends betraying the American cause and defecting to the British. One of the British's most important Generals was General Cornwallis who helped the British a lot. During the whole war there was people constantly fighting for control of New York, however all the battles ended in stalemates. Near the End of 1781, American forces stopped Cornwallis in Yorktown and forced him and his forces to surrender. The British finally started to leave the New York Frontiers and retreat to Britain and on September 3, 1783 Britain signed a piece treaty to end the war. The Americans were victorious
