Overpopulation puts a tremendous strain on resources. If too many people live in a place with too few resources (food, water, etc.), there are many negative effects. The biggest concern is access to water. A lack of fresh water can lead to unsanitary living conditions, which can cause disease, infection and increased child and infant mortality. Additionally, overpopulation can lead to malnutrition and increased transmission of diseases. Even more disconcerting is the fact that overpopulation is a growing issue; by 2050, the projected population of the world is 9 billion, with the developed world comprising the majority of the population.

Ghana was a kingdom in Africa that lasted from the 6th to the 13th century CE, located south of the Sahara desert and northwest of the Niger River in modern day Mauritania and Mali.
The battle of Lexington and Concord sparked the revolution and made it look like the militia/irregular warfare favored by the colonists might stand a shot against the great British Army.
This built confidence and enabled people to feel like there might be a shot.
