Passage 1
The American colonists often quarreled with British Government. They had
to buy British goods and they had to pay taxes to Britain. In 1767,
Britain put customs duty on many goods, such as tea. In 1773, some
Americans dressed as Red Indians went on to some British ships in Boston
and threw the tea into the sea. The British Government closed the port of
Boston. Then the colonists got ready for war and George Washington became
the commander of their army. During the war, on 4th July, 1776, the
American Congress drew up the Declaration of Independence and declared the
independence of American. Later, France and Spain joined the war against
Britain. The British fleet surrendered in 1781 and the Government had to
recognize the independence of the new United States of America. In 1789,
George Washington became the first president of the country.
