Looking for more information regarding the underlying causes of the revolution. Other than the obvious: no taxation without representation, dependence on the outcome of the 7-year-war, etc. I know that the 'shot heard around the world' is supposed to be the "official" start. But how did that happen? Who shot first? What prompted the colonials to believe they had the right to rebel against the crown as they did, aside from the fact that Americans in general had an inherent adventurous, rebellious spirit. I guess because my own digging has been fruitless in trying to find some outside influence or anything of that nature i feel so sure there has to be some unseen force guiding their hand. Does anyone know of any good books that go into this? Documentaries? Anything?

The Declaration of Independence, which the colonials knew would prompt a British reprisal.

British blockade of Boston harbor. Battle of Lexington and Concord was a response to a rumor of an arms buildup outside of occupied Boston.
