INTRODUCTION
The American Revolution, culminating in the American war of Independence, was a
momentous happening in the world history as it marked the first successful struggle for
freedom and liberty in modern history. The ideas and ideals born out of the War of
Independence influenced not only the French Revolution of 1789 and the English Liberal
Radical Movement of the 19th century, but almost all the subsequent struggles for freedom and
liberty.

JOHN ADAMS, the second President of the United States, in a reminiscent letter written in his
later years, viewed that the history of the American Revolution began as early as 1629. He
asserted that the Revolution had affected much before the war commenced. He added, "The
Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people. The principles and feelings which led
the Americans to rebel out to be traced back for two hundred years and sought in the history of
the country from the first plantation in America." In a practical sense, the over parting of ways
between England and America began in 1763. By this time, remarkable changes had taken
place since the first settlement at JAMESTOWN, VIRGINIA, more than 150 years. ago.
Several colonies had grown in economic strength and cultural attainments. All of them gained
considerable experience in self-government. This brings to the fundamental causes of the
American war of Independence.
