Why Was The American Revolution Inevitable

“Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” This quote originates from John Parker during the time period that leads up to the inevitable war against Great Britain, the American Revolution. This particular quote explains that the American colonies would not be hesitant in fighting against the British, if their actions hinted that a war was going to occur.
