Category - American Revolution
We believe most americans know that the American Revolution was a colonial revolt that took place between 1765 and 1783.
Americans also know that The American Revolutionary War is also known as the American War of Independence and that it was a global war that began as a conflict between Great Britain and her Thirteen Colonies.
The American Patriots in the Thirteen Colonies won independence from Great Britain, becoming the United States of America. With the alliance with France and others, America defeated the British in the American Revolution.
At times we are requested to search the records of the American Revolution, but people don’t know that most of the records were destroyed by fire in 1800 or in 1814. For records that are remaining, they can be located at the National Archives index on microfilm.
At Record Click, we can help you find those available records. We have professional genealogists around the US to help you search and discovery any available records from the American Revolution.
