These taxes imposed were one major factor that triggered anger and outrage in the colonists in America. This led to a boycott by the colonists on the British goods to avoid taxes; the colonial masters had to take action. One other major cause of the American Revolution is the point where the colonists’ spoilt tea shipped by a young ship owner and consequently the King of Britain reacted through the intolerable acts to what is commonly referred to as the Boston Tea party. Considering the quartering act that required the colonies to house the British soldiers in their homes, the colonists were pushed to take action as it infringed on their peace at home. This quartering act that is part of the intolerable acts is a major cause of the American Revolution. The colonies through a declaration made by the congress sent their grievances to the King who seemed not to respond, this led to them acquiring weapons as they prepared for battle. That came to be on 1775 when the British attacked. The main battle in the American Revolution was the battle of Saratoga; this provided the most crucial turning point for the revolutionary
