how long was the revolutionary war fought
The war was the culmination of the political American Revolution, whereby the colonists rejected the right of the Parliament of Great Britain to govern them without representation. It stretched over the time period of 1775 to 1783. The American Revolution lasted for only 7 years. It is considered to be an anomaly among wars that involve the use of guerilla tactics and ungainly militias. Although there was no dearth of equipment on the part of the British but they lost the war to the passion of the Americans. The revolutionary era began in 1763.
