 The American Revolution, a social and cultural shift of allegiance from aristocracy and monarchy to sovereignty of the citizens with a system of law and elected representatives (republicanism), began as struggle for justice and morality against the British Empire.
The Revolutionary War, also known as the American War of Independence, was fought between 1775-1783 primarily in eastern North America and at sea. The thirteen British colonies (Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia), joined forces in declaring independence from Great Britain in 1776. The British recognized the independence of the United States of America in the Treaty of Paris.

Founding Fathers
Poster Text: While there is no absolute standard of determining who is a "Founding Father," it is possible to designate a relatively small group whose courage, intelligence, and patriotism played a critical role in winning our independence and establishing our nation. We have gathered here that group of individuals for which the National Portrait Gallery possesses images. They are men who participated in at least one of these: the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitutional Convention, the First or Second Federal Congress, and the Washington administration. These names, beginning with the Revolution and lasting through George Washington's presidency, set our national course and remain today as pivotal events in our history.

Benjamin Franklin first published his famous political cartoon in 1754. Orginally entitles "Join, or Die", it was meant to bring the colonies together with the British to fight the French and their Indian allies for the land west of the Appalachian Mountains. The cartoon was resurrected in the lead up to the American Revolution to rally the colonies to unite against Britain.
