American Revolution & Founding

The American Revolution and Founding Era traces the transformation of Britain’s thirteen colonies into an independent nation. Beginning with rising tensions over taxation and representation, the period includes protests like the Boston Tea Party, the Revolutionary War, and the 1776 Declaration of Independence. After years of conflict, victory secured U.S. sovereignty and raised new challenges of nation-building. The drafting of the Constitution and the establishment of the first presidency shaped the principles of American democracy and influenced revolutions worldwide.
