The people living in the colonies where not happy with the decisions of the Crown and with the amount of
taxes that they needed to pay. In 1773 serval people gathered
in Boston, then raided three ships transporting tea, and they
dumped the tea in the sea, this event is known as ``The Boston
Tea Party´´. In 1775 the first battle ocured in the regions of
Lexington and Concord, then the Independence war trully began.
In 2 of July of 1776 the Declaration of Independence is signed.
The war ends in 1781, but the first time this the Independence
