The war of Independence of the United States was a warlike conflict that faced the Thirteen original British Colonies in North America against the Kingdom of Great Britain. It took place between 1775 and 1783, ending with the British defeat at the Battle of Yorktown and the signing of the Treaty of Paris. In this situation, we see citizens and states that were very different among themselves, united with a common goal, independence.The Civil Rights Movement in the United States was a long, and mainly non-violent, struggle to extend full access to civil rights and equality before the law to groups that do not have them, especially black citizens.
