During the Revolutionary War, it was the newly formed America versus good ol' England. This is where we Americans fought for our rights and for our freedom. A lot of different associations formed during the war, including the Free Masons. One of the main events that happened was the Boston Tea Party. A man named Benidict Arnold was an American general, who was actually working for the British. He was found out and he ran off to the British side. The reason why the war was started was because the British was raising the taxes on everything. Tomatoes, tea, fruit, and other foods. The war ended with the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
