In the initial years leading up to the American Revolution, the Sons of Liberty, and those arguing against Great Britain’s treatment of the American colonies, petitioned for equal representation under English law.

With the effort largely centered around issues of “taxation without representation”, there was initially little consideration for a total separation from Great Britain. However, as tensions grew following events such as the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party, as well as the passage of the Coercive Acts, ideas of American independence began to spread.

One of the key causes of the Revolutionary War would be Parliament’s punishment of Boston following the Destruction of the Tea in 1773. The Coercive Acts, or “Intolerable Acts” as they would be called, would inspire outrage across the colonies and lead to a growing sense of the “common cause of America”. This sense of an American identity would become one of the main causes of the American Revolution.
