The last battle was fought between the forces of General Washington with the aid of General Rochembeau against the British General Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, South Carolina.\n\nFollowing the battle, Cornwallis's second in command surrendered his sword to Washington's second in command as Cornwallis was too much a coward to do it himself. The British band was playing the tune "The World Turned Upside Down."\n\nThe war officially ended with the Treaty of Paris.

By the middle of the 1700s, the 13 colonies that made up part of England's empire in the New World were finding it difficult to be ruled by a king 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. They were tired of the taxes imposed upon them. But independence was a gradual and painful process. The colonists could not forget that they were British citizens and that they owed allegiance to King George III. \n\nVirginia took the first step toward independence by voting to set up a committee to represent the colonies. The First Continental Congress met in September of 1774. They drew up a list of grievances against the crown which became the first draft of a document that would formally separate the colonies from England.\n\nThe unanimous Declaration of the thirteen (original) United States of America was drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776.\n\nIn Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress presented & debated a second draft of the document. Independence Day is celebrated on July 4 because that is the day when the Continental Congress ADOPTED the FINAL draft. \n\nThe 'Declaration of Independence' served to "...publish and declare that [the United States] are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; and that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown."\n\nFrom July 8, 1776, until the next month, the document was read publicly and people celebrated whenever they heard it. The next year, in Philadelphia, bells rang and ships fired guns, candles and firecrackers were lighted.\n\nJohn Adams, a lawyer, the first Vice President and the Second President of the United States, was one of the members of the Second Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence. He wrote to his wife, "I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival... it ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other..." \n\nThe new nation was officially recognized following the Treaty of Paris in 1783, and in that year, Independence Day was made an official holiday. In 1941, the U.S. Congress declared the 4th of July a federal holiday.

The result of the Declaration of Independence was that the people of the 13 colonies no longer saw themselves as subjects to the king of England, and told him as much. Then the American Revolution had offically begun, though there had been some skirmishes before that.

"The American Revolution ended in 1783, but the young republic it created faced a difficult time. Nowhere was this more evident than to the farmers of Western Massachusetts. A severe economic depression forced people unable to pay their debts first into court, then into jail . . . The Rebellion started with petitions to the government for paper currency, lower taxes, and judicial reform. When this failed, the farmers took more drastic measures. The first target of the Rebellion was the Court of Common Pleas at Northampton, which an armed body of farmers kept from sitting on August 29th. Similar groups of insurgents stormed the courts at Worcester, Concord, Taunton, and Great Barrington in the following weeks. They hoped to prevent further trials and imprisonment of debtors."\n\nRead more using the link below.

A stupid question these nations are allies.However some contributers to this question seem to be under the impression that the last conflict between these two countries was an american victory. This of course is untrue in fact the british made deep incursions into the us and burnt the whitehouseto the ground.Of course if they mean the war of independance, every one was british.The settlers were revolting about unfair taxes,but they were british How many of the founding fathers were british.I can never envisage a time when britain and america would even be in different camps in any conflict of war

==============================================\nThe American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,[1] was a war between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776.\n\nThe war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them. After an American victory at Saratoga in 1777, France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the war against Great Britain. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States.\n\n\n==============================================\n\nA GOOD ONE ABOUT  Revolutionary War

George Washington's home was Mount Vernon on the Potomac.  To see pictures just type "Mount Vernon" on your search engine.  Lots of pictures.  It has been called the most beautiful home in America and it is America's number one historic tourist destination.  Valley Forge Pa. is a site where Washington and the continental army spent a hellacious winter (in 1777 I think).  Many men just froze to death.  They really went through some sh*t to win our freedom from the King.

PLEASE RESOLVE, NOT REMOVE...\n\nThe Declaration of Independence was "signed" by many of America's "founding fathers" starting on July 4, 1776.  \n\nAt the time, the US was not a country yet - this document demanded and declared its independence from England.  I don't think it was 'formally' adopted by the country but it set the US on the road to BEING a country and the beginning of the Revolutionary War.\n\nHere's a timeline:\nJune 7 Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, receives Richard Henry Lee's resolution urging Congress to declare independence. \nJune 11 Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston appointed to a committee to draft a declaration of independence. American army retreats to Lake Champlain from Canada. \nJune 12-27 Jefferson, at the request of the committee, drafts a declaration, of which only a fragment exists. Jefferson's clean, or "fair" copy, the "original Rough draught," is reviewed by the committee. Both documents are in the manuscript collections of the Library of Congress. \nJune 28 A fair copy of the committee draft of the Declaration of Independence is read in Congress. \nJuly 1-4 Congress debates and revises the Declaration of Independence. \nJuly 2 Congress declares independence as the British fleet and army arrive at New York. \nJuly 4 Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence in the morning of a bright, sunny, but cool Philadelphia day. John Dunlap prints the Declaration of Independence. These prints are now called "Dunlap Broadsides." Twenty-four copies are known to exist, two of which are in the Library of Congress. One of these was Washington's personal copy. \nJuly 5 John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, dispatches the first of Dunlap's broadsides of the Declaration of Independence to the legislatures of New Jersey and Delaware. \nJuly 6 Pennsylvania Evening Post of July 6 prints the first newspaper rendition of the Declaration of Independence. \nJuly 8 The first public reading of the Declaration is in Philadelphia. \nJuly 9 Washington orders that the Declaration of Independence be read before the American army in New York \nJuly 19 Congress orders the Declaration of Independence engrossed (officially inscribed) and signed by members. \nAugust 2 Delegates begin to sign engrossed copy of the Declaration of Independence. A large British reinforcement arrives at New York after being repelled at Charleston, S.C. \n1777 \nJanuary 18 Congress, now sitting in Baltimore, Maryland, orders that signed copies of the Declaration of Independence printed by Mary Katherine Goddard of Baltimore be sent to the states.

First of all Americans are Brits, but are in different countries, and civil war occours in the SAME country, but I think I know what you are refering to.\n\nThe American Revolution was a revolution that ended two centuries of rule of the Thirteen Colonies by the British Empire and created the modern United States of America. The Revolutionary era was both exhilarating and disturbing–a time of progress for some, dislocation for others. The American Revolution is the series of ideas, and changes that resulted in the revolution and ensuing political separation of thirteen colonies in North America from the British Empire and the creation of the United States of America with a new political system. The American War of Independence which lasted from 1775 to 1783, was one part of the revolution, but the revolution by the Americans began before the first shot was fired at Lexington and Concord and continued after the British surrender at Yorktown. Years later, in 1818, John Adams wrote: "The Revolution was effected before the War commenced," and "The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people."\n\nHistorians usually agree that the revolutionary era began in 1763 as Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War, and the military threat to the colonies from France ended. The end of the period is usually marked by as Treaty of Paris in 1783. However, references to the "revolutionary era" sometimes stretched to 1789, when a new government under George Washington began operating.\n\nInterpretations about the effect of the revolution vary. At one end of the spectrum is the older view that the American Revolution was not "revolutionary" at all, that it did not radically transform colonial society, but simply replaced a distant government with a local one. The more recent view pioneered by historians such as Bernard Bailyn, Gordon Wood and Edmund Morgan is that the American Revolution was a unique and radical event, based on a new ideology of "republicanism" which produced deep changes that had a profound impact on world history.

I think the traditional answer is Pennsylvania.  From the government's website, Graff House is considered "where" he wrote it.  Note that technically they were colonies at this point, and not states, since we had not actually broken away.  See excerpt below:\n\nThe Graff House where Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence \nThe house of Jacob Graff, brick mason, located at the southwest corner of Market and Seventh Street, Philadelphia, was the residence of Thomas Jefferson when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. The three-story brick house is pictured here in Harper's Weekly, April 7, 1883. Jefferson rented the entire second floor for himself and his household staff.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest by the American colonists against Great Britain in which they destroyed many crates of tea on ships in Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on Thursday, December 16, 1773, has been seen as helping to spark the American Revolution.
