Isaiah 59:17 KJV
17 For he put on
righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head;
and he put on the
garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

The Revolutionary War was a war unlike any other -- one of ideas and ideals, that shaped "the course of human events." With 165 principal engagements from 1775-1783, the   Revolutionary War was the catalyst for American independence.

Our inalienable rights, were laid out in the Declaration of Independence.

The United States was created as a result of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION, when thirteen colonies on the east coast of North America fought to end their membership in the British Empire. This was a bold, dangerous, and even foolish thing to do at the time, since Great Britain was the strongest country in the world.

Over the decade following passage of the Stamp Act in 1765, a series of unpopular British laws met with stiff opposition in the colonies, fueling a bitter struggle over whether Parliament had the right to tax the colonists without the consent of the representative colonial governments.

This struggle erupted into violence in 1770 when British troops killed five colonists in the Boston Massacre.

Three years later, outrage over the Tea Act of 1773 prompted colonists to board an East India Company ship in Boston Harbor and dump its cargo into the sea in the now-infamous Boston Tea Party.

In response, Britain cracked down further with the Coercive Acts, going so far as to revoke the colonial charter of Massachusetts and close the port of Boston. Resistance to the Intolerable Acts, as they became known, led to the formation of the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia in 1774, which denounced "taxation without representation" - but stopped short of demanding independence from Britain.

I John 5:4

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
