The American Revolution, 1763 - 1783
Overview
Until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, few colonists in British North America objected to their place in the British Empire.
Colonists in British America reaped many benefits from the British imperial system and bore few costs for those benefits.
Indeed, until the early 1760s, the British mostly left their American colonies alone.
The Seven Years' War (known in the United States as the French and Indian War) changed everything.
Although Britain eventually achieved victory over France and its allies, victory had come at great cost.
A staggering war debt influenced many British policies over the next decade.
Attempts to raise money by reforming colonial administration, enforcing tax laws,
and placing troops in America led directly to conflict with colonists.
By the mid-1770s, relations between Americans and the British administration had become strained and acrimonious.

Do you know what sparked the American Revolution?
Yes, It was due to taxes such as the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and incidents such as the Boston Massacre.
However, there is one piece that few know about.
The proclamation of 1763.
This proclamation limited the freedom of where colonists could colonize, and contributed more anger towards the monarchy.
Author Patrick Spero talks about what the Proclamation of 1763 was and how it affected colonists at the time.
