Causessss

A

The American war of independence lasted from 1775 to 1883. I think the main cause was the Boston tea party.

As a consequence parliament put Massachusetts under military rule and passed the coercive acts which included closing down the port of Boston until all of the colonists paid for all the tea that they threw into the harbour
