It was a political and economic revolution against the repressions in British America. 13 colonies lying on the eastern coast of America came together and defeated the British to establish the first ever written democratic constitution and country in the world, examples which were followed later by many around the world.
Revolutionaries protested against the nonrepresentative government, exacting taxes, restricting economic avenues under Tea Act, Iron Act, etc. It was also a reaction against the brutal Boston massacre that led to the deaths of many unarmed and peaceful protestors. Thus, in American Revolution, revolutionaries tore down a repressive regime and established a democratic institution in its place.
