What caused the revolutionary war was that Britain didn't like the fact that the colonists were taking maters in to their own hands under their control so they tried to re-gain control. The bad relations between Britain and the patriot colonies got worse during the 1760's and the 1770's.what first started conflicts between the nations was the proclamation of 1763 that stated that the colonies were prevented from expanding west towards the Appalachian Mountains.
Also what added to the bad relations were the harsh policies toward the North American colonies after 1763 that had been passed by Britain. The colonist's stated that those 13 laws and acts violated their rights the laws of nature their natural rights as humans and they had no privacy and that they had to shelter British troops. Early 1770 really heated up things between the two conflicting countries. Then the colonies declared their independence with all the colonies as one nation united. The Declaration Of Independence was suggested and created by Benjamin Franklin. All major political leaders gathered to sign The Declaration Of Independence.
Those people included Samuel Adams, John Adams, John Jay, Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry and George Washington. The Declaration Of Independence repealed the 13 acts passed by The Parliament from 1763. This angered the British to their peak so they decided to send an average sized force with General Thomas Gage to surprise attack concord. That's what started a period in time no one will ever forget “The Revolutionary War”.
