=The American Revolution (Part I)=

The colonists and Great Britain have come to a crossroads. Great Britain refuses to relinquish its ability to tax its colonists and the colonists refuse to pay any type of tax without it having proper representation in Britain's Parliament. With the passing of the Coercive (Intolerable) Acts, the stage has been set for armed conflict between the two to now occur. The colonists will make two peaceful attempts at reconciliation between them and King George III, but in the end it will be to no avail, and the "shot heard around the world" will soon be fired at the Battle of Lexington.
