They were starting a war with the greatest military power of the time even though they did not have a mighty ghting force themselves. And they were ghting for a type of government that most people thought was impossible. In this video, Professor Sarah Burns of the Rochester Institute of Technology explains the historical and philosophical context of the American Revolution from the changing role of the British army in the colonies to Radical Whig theory.

But the concern that radicalized the colonists was less about taxes per se, and more about power.
