The Declaration of Independence included a list of grievances in order to show the world why the American colonists were breaking away from Great Britain. Within this list of grievances, the American colonists discussed several different topics including no taxation without representation.
After the French and Indian War, the British government turned to the colonies for revenue to help pay off their debt. This was considered unfair to the colonists, as they had no representation in the British parliament (aka the people passing the taxes). This was one of several disagreements that ultimately resulted in the American Revolution.
The Continental Navy was created by George Washington in 1775 to protect the American colonies from attacks by the British. At the end of the Revolutionary War, the Continental Navy was disbanded. However, American merchant ships were under continuous attacks by North African pirates so the Department of the Navy was created by Congress in April 1798. Also, after the American Revolution, the British refused to leave American territory along the Great Lakes and continued to attack American merchant ships. This led to the War of 1812.
