THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION BETWEEN 1763 AND 1783 STUDYOFSOCIALANDPOLITICALEFFECTS

Abstract

The Treaty of Paris put an end to the nine-year conflict between France and Great Britain in America known as the French and Indian War. France gave up all of its lands in North America east of the Mississippi River to Britain as a result of the conflict. The costs of the war contributed to the British government’s decision to impose new taxes on its American colonies, but the British colonists of mainland North America had great hopes for the future, however, a triumphant Britain took title to Spanish Florida, French Canada, and all of Louisiana east of the Mississippi. The colonists anticipated an era of unbroken peace, expansion, and wealth because the British banner flew over such a large portion of North America. They were deeply proud of the British triumph and of their status as "free Britons," but they had no idea that the following 20 years would bring independence, revolution, and yet another war—the American Revolutionary War, which lasted from 1775 to 1783. As the American War of Independence, it was also known as that. This paper tackles the rebellion between the American colonists and the British which developed in revolutionary war that lasted two decades and was crowned with great victory although it had resulted in far too many material and human casualties. The United States has become a symbol of freedom and democracy thanks to this major conflict, and it has also exerted an excessive amount of influence on other nations
