The people were getting tired of the overarching rules, regulations, and taxes of the British Crown, perhaps no more so than in Boston where a massacre would occur. So a Tea Party would be held, declarations and Congresses made, then a war with shots ringing out from Princeton to Saratoga to Yorktown. But it would take much longer than this one decade to win that war and to form a true government. The American Revolution would seep into the next decade and the first President not in office til after that.
