I was thrown in the middle of a city the city was engulfed in flames I immediately knew it was the American Revolution. I went to a nearby man and her told me that on the evening of April 18, 1775, the British governor of Massachusetts sent several hundred British troops to seize colonists’ military stores at Concord. The British intentions and movements were soon discovered by the Patriot colonists who decided to prevent the British from carrying out their plan. The local militiamen gathered at Lexington to intercept the British troops. Then all of 8th grade back to me I remembered that On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence which formally proclaimed the 13 colonies independent from the British Empire. George Washington was chosen to command the Continental army. The Battle of Saratoga marked the turning point of the American Revolution and encouraged France to openly support the Americans against Britain. Because of French support of America the French sent Marquis de Lafayette to help train American soldiers. After a successful land and sea campaign of joint American and French army in Virginia in 1781, the British army found itself trapped on the Yorktown peninsula. Armed hostilities continued but with the Surrender of Yorktown, the American War of Independence was practically won. The American War of Independence and with it, the American Revolution formally ended with the Treaty of Paris that was signed on September 3, 1783. The British Empire accepted defeat against its former colonies and recognized independence of the United States of America. Everyone was shocked that I knew this much about the revolution they told me I was unhumanly creature. But before they could arrest me time took me away.
