The American Revolution wasn't inevitable. In 1763, most colonists were proud British subjects. The decade-long path from the Stamp Act to independence reveals how imperial overreach, Enlightenment ideas, and colonial economic interests combined to make separation conceivable — and then unavoidable. The revolution created a constitutional republic, inspired the French Revolution, and established a template of written constitutionalism that spread globally. Its internal contradictions — liberty alongside slavery — would define American politics for the next century.
