5. Events and Personalities in the Revolution The American revolution was a key event in American history. The thirteen colonies established in America, first rejected the authority of the parliament of Great Britain to govern them overseas without representation. Many events took place in 1774 that sparked American interest in their own morals and principals. The Coercive Acts in 1774 provoked open rebellion among the colonists. One sudden impact was the departure of tens of thousands of British loyalists, and most of them ended up fighting in the war for the crown. The ambitions of the revolution targeted the expulsion of tyranny from the colonies present situation, and to create a government that was immune to any possibility of tyranny in the future. This was achieved by limiting the power of government, and making people citizens instead of subjects.
