{(Wattpad Featured Story)} It's kind of you to pick me up like this. Most people wouldn't take the time to do this sort of thing anymore. I sometimes feel like the world is getting smaller and smaller the more connected things become. That reminds me of a time in my life that nothing seemed to make sense and every step took me closer to uncertainty. Let me tell you a little about myself.

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), also known as the American War of Independence and the Revolutionary War in the United States, was the armed conflict between Great Britain and thirteen of its North American colonies, which had declared themselves the independent United States of America. Early fighting took place primarily on the North American continent. France, eager for revenge after its defeat in the Seven Years' War, signed an alliance with the new nation in 1778 that proved decisive in the ultimate victory. The conflict gradually expanded into a world war with Britain combating France, Spain, and the Netherlands. Fighting also broke out in India between the British East India Company and the French allied Kingdom of Mysore. The American Revolutionary War had its origins in the resistance of many Americans to taxes, which they claimed were unconstitutional, imposed by the British parliament. Patriot protests escalated into boycotts, and on December 16, 1773, the destruction of a shipment of tea at the Boston Tea Party. The British government retaliated by closing the port of Boston and taking away self-government. The Patriots responded by setting up a shadow government that took control of the province outside of Boston. Twelve other colonies supported Massachusetts, formed a Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance, and set up committees and conventions that effectively seized power. In April 1775 the battles of Lexington and Concord, in Middlesex County, near Boston, began open armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and thirteen of its colonies. The Continental Congress appointed General George Washington to take charge of militia units besieging British forces in Boston, forcing them to evacuate the city in March 1776. Congress supervised the war, giving Washington command of the new Continental Army; he also coordinated state militia units.

The close of the Seven Years' War in 1763 (called the French and Indian War in America) saw Great Britain triumphant in driving the French from North America. Though triumphant, Britain had been forced to borrow heavily to win the war, in particular in using the American colonies as a base for invading and seizing French territories. In the year between 1763-4, the British revenue service in America cost four times more to administer than it collected in duties,[29] and London therefore decided that it was time to end the policy of Salutary Neglect, and enforce a more vigorous approach to collecting legal revenues from the thirteen colonies. Since the earliest times, Americans had experienced an extremely relaxed approach towards smuggling. Nowhere in the British Empire were taxes as low as in the thirteen colonies - India and Britain itself were subjected to much higher levels of exploitation. For example, the 1733 Molasses Act, introduced to protect the plantations from their more productive French counterparts, imposed a tax of sixpence per gallon on imports of molasses from non-British West Indian colonies. But it was so heavily violated that it produced only a trickle of revenue; twenty years later, only 384 hogsheads of molasses officially entered Boston, a town housing 63 rum distilleries that together required an annual 40,000 hogsheads of molasses to maintain normal production. Parliament passed the Stamp Act in March 1765, which imposed direct taxes on the colonies for the first time starting November 1. This was met with strong condemnation among American spokesmen, who argued that their "Rights as Englishmen" meant that taxes could not be imposed on them because they lacked representation in Parliament.[31] At the same time the colonists rejected the solution of being provided with the representation, claiming that "their local circumstances" made it impossible.

You probably like all people think that all of that Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, french revolution, and all of those wars and famous points in history are actually true. Well, i'm here to tell you that none of that stuff actually happened, I know, shocker right? Well I would be more surprised if I actually wrote something, but here I am writing something, now close your surprised jaw that it probably hanging open from being so surprised by this news, but of course your probably thinking to yourself in that annoying voice of yours that you use to complain when the super market runs out of your favorite flavor or ice cream "But that is impossible! I KNOW what happened," well, allow me to ask you how do you know that it happened? Your probably thinking, "I read it in my book," well, I bet your book was non-fiction right? Well, you probably also think that non-fiction books are true and fiction books are not true right? Well how do you know that, both contain stories, so what really makes them that different? You probably think that since your teacher in kindergarten told you that they were non-fiction and fiction, well how do they know? probably from their teacher, well how do they know? How does anyone know that anything is ever true that is ever said to them by anyone or anything? Well that is a very deep question which is solved with faith and trust, I could go on for hours explaining it but for the sake of time I am going to have to cut it short, I shall try to leave more information for you to read at a later time, but for now just remember, nothing is as it seems and never forget that the world is full of mysteries, mysteries waiting to be explored.
