The American Revolution was an upheaval that ended British control of middle North America, resulting in the formation of the United States of America in 1776. An account of the military actions of the American Revolutionary War appears in a separate article.
The Revolution was also a series of broad intellectual and social shifts that occurred in American society as new republican ideals took hold in the population. In some states (especially Pennsylvania), sharp political debates broke out over the role that democracy should play in government. The American shift to republicanism and gradually expanding democracy was an upheaval of the traditional social hierarchy; the new republican ethic (augmented by classical liberalism) formed the core of American political values.
Historians usually agree that the revolutionary era began in 1763, when Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War and the military threat to the colonies from France ended. The end of the Revolution is usually marked by the Treaty of Paris, in 1783 with the recognition of the United States as an independent nation. However, references to the "revolutionary era" sometimes stretch to 1789, when the new national government under George Washington began operating.
