Seeds of Independence

The Seeds of Independence refer to the growing desire for self-governance and freedom from British rule among the American colonies in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Influential events, such as the Boston Tea Party and the imposition of taxes like the Stamp Act, fueled discontent among colonists.

Many began to question British authority, leading to a stronger sense of American identity. This period marked a significant shift, as colonists moved from loyalty to Britain towards a determination to establish their own independent nation.
