The American Revolution

Question 1

Speaking of "historical" is about "history" and history is just that, past and the past cannot be changed. There are people trying to change history but all I get is ignore the past and that only succeed in living a lie that only they are created. The historical change expressed in the American Constitution and the laws that make their contents instrumental, is a cultural and political project for the construction of a socialist society approved by referendum. The economic expansion between 1815 and 1860 was reflected in changes in American society.

Question 2

The War of American Independence was an armed conflict that lasted eight long years, from 1775 to 1783. It was also a civil war between Americans and British subjects, and a rebellion against the colonial authorities and an insurrection against the king of England (George III) and the monarchy. It was finally a war of "national liberation", the first in modern history.

For the American rebels, nothing was a foregone conclusion since they had only 18000 to 20000 men inexperienced, did not have a navy and received only a small number of general well trained (Lilly & Thomson, pp. 262 - 288).

Early in the Revolutionary War, George Washington alleged a mortal blow to Great Britain by capturing Montreal and Quebec City because these two cities were the most formidable bastions British North America. U.S. General sent two armies to the north in order to invest the city of Quebec and conquer Canada and, more specifically the "Province of Quebec. George Washington expected that Canadians will rally to them and turn the invasion of "liberation war" (Lilly, pp. 491 - 516). U.S. forces captured Montreal in 1775, but failed when they tried to take Quebec City, U.S. troops withdrew quickly, before being pursued and beaten to Lake Champlain (at Valcour Island). However, the American rebels remained in the "Quebec" until the arrival of a British fleet, May 6, 1776.
