The course text notes that tensions and differences in the 1770s led to the American Revolution that eventually produced independence for the United States from Great Britain. When the War for American Independence broke out, both the British and the Americans maintained what they viewed as very significant reasons for going to war based on that rift that had developed between the two groups. Explain the reasons why each side went to war. In doing so, discuss two distinct reasons the Americans justified war and two distinct reasons the British justified war. Be sure to explain why each reason helped to justify the war for its side. Also, be sure your answer does justice to both sides - i.e., that you demonstrate understanding of why each side would see its reasons as significant and legitimate.
