About this quiz
The road to independence ran from a decade of quarrels over taxes, through eight years of war, to a peace treaty signed in Paris in 1783.
- The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first direct tax on the American colonists.
- The surrender of about 6,000 British regulars at Saratoga helped bring France into the war.
- At Bunker Hill more than 1,000 of the 2,200 British troops in action were killed or wounded.
- The fighting moved south from 1779, ending with the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781.

Where the timeline gives only a month, the event is placed by that month; no two events here fall in the same month without an exact day. The Declaration is shown as July 1776, as the timeline gives it.
