American Revolution Concept Map Overview
The American Revolution (1765 to 1783) was the conflict in which the thirteen colonies broke from British rule and formed the United States. It is usually split into causes such as the Stamp Act and the Intolerable Acts, the war itself from Lexington and Concord to Yorktown, and the outcomes, including the Treaty of Paris. A map keeps these stages linked.
- Causes: taxation without representation, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Boston Massacre
- Early war: Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, the siege of Boston
- Turning points: Declaration of Independence, Saratoga, French alliance
- Key leaders: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin
- Final stage: Yorktown surrender and the Treaty of Paris (1783)
Use the map to review cause and effect before an exam, or check each branch against your textbook. Build a version from your own notes with CogniGuide to get a map that matches your course.
