    The document summarizes key events of the American Revolution, beginning with colonists' unrest over new taxes imposed by Britain after the French and Indian War. This led to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, when colonists dumped British tea into Boston Harbor in protest. In response, Britain instituted harsh measures in Massachusetts that escalated tensions and led to the start of the Revolutionary War at Lexington in 1775. During this time, the Second Continental Congress established an army and printed money and eventually produced the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The war concluded in 1781 with the American victory at Yorktown and Britain's recognition of American independence with the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
