History

Answer:

In the 1600s and 1700s, Europeans came to  

North America looking for religious freedom,  

economic opportunities, and political liberty.  

They created 13 colonies on the East Coast of  

the continent. Later, when the colonists won  

independence, these colonies became the 13  

original states.  

Each colony had its own government, but the  

British king controlled these governments. By  

the 1770s, many colonists were angry because  

they did not have self-government. This meant  

that they could not govern themselves and make  

their own laws. They had to pay high taxes to  

the king. They felt that they were paying taxes to  

a government where they had no representation.  

They were also angry because the colonists were  

forced to let British soldiers sleep and eat in  

their homes.  

In 1774, leaders from the colonies met in  

Philadelphia to discuss British laws that they  

believed were unfair. They believed that Great  

Britain did not treat the colonists as equal  

citizens. They thought the people needed more control over their government. In 1775, colonists  

fought against the British army in Massachusetts.  

The leaders met again and decided to organize  

an army. George Washington became the  

commander in chief of that army.  yw lol
