I need help with homework, Can anyone give me four major events that happened in America before the American revolution happened and A short sentence for each describing what it was?

The American colonist's breakup with the British Empire in 1776 wasn’t a sudden, impetuous act. Instead, the banding together of the 13 colonies to fight and win a war of independence against the Crown was the culmination of a series of events, which had begun more than a decade earlier. Escalations began shortly after the end of the French and Indian War known elsewhere as the Seven Years War in 1763. Hope this helps you
