In May 1754, tensions between American colonists and the British Crown escalated over issues of land, taxation, and sovereignty, culminating in violent confrontations. The Boston Tea Party in 1773 prompted the British government to impose martial law in Massachusetts. The conflict reached a critical point with the battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, marking the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. This episode examines the events leading up to the war and the growing desire for independence among the colonies.
