America Makes Trouble
Increasing troubles and riots led to the presence of British troops, particularly in the Boston area. On April 19, 1775, in the village of Lexington outside of Boston, a group of American farmers clashed with the British army, and a long, bitter revolutionary struggle began. The United States declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. The war ended with American independence in 1783.
