Geschichte der USA | 17.-19. Jahrhundert
The American Revolution
Since the 1760s, the colonists have been increasingly protesting against the tax hikes of the British parliament - especially since they are not represented there themselves. The demand “no taxation without representation” becomes the slogan of the American revolutionaries. The conflict escalates after such actions as the Boston Tea Party, fueled by the Common Sense paper in which Thomas Paine demands independence for the colonies and on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is adopted. The colonies have long been at war with the motherland, which ends in 1781 with an American victory, led by George Washington. 1789: the American Constitution comes into effect - the first modern constitution, which establishes the separation of powers, sovereignty of the people and their inalienable basic rights.
