Revolt is the only way out of the colonial situation

 Memmi wrote a book named "Wasaʹse: Indigenous Pathways of Action and Freedom". He said that "revolt is the only way out of the colonial situation, and the colonized realizes it sooner or later. His condition is absolute and cries for an absolute solution; a break and not a compromise." 

I somewhat agree with this statement. In 1775, April 19, American revolution began. This revolution against British created the United States. The war lasted from 1775 to 1781. These are some fast facts of American revolution.

• In the mid-1700s, Britain bested France in a struggle to control the American colonies.
• In an attempt to raise revenue, Britain imposed a series of taxes on the colonies. These taxes severely strained American-British relations.
• British soldiers and American patriots started the war with battles at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts.
• Colonists in America wanted independence from England.
• The British government attempted to pass some laws, enforce several taxes, and increase more control over the colonies. The colonies strongly objected to these laws and taxes.  They wanted England to have no control over them.
• For ten years before the war actually started, there was a lot of tension between England and the colonies.
• The colonies had no central government at the beginning of the war, so delegates from all the colonies were sent to form the first Continental Congress.
• George Washington, a former military officer and wealthy Virginian, was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.
• Members of the Continental Congress wrote a letter to King George of England outlining their complaints and declaring their independence from England.
• On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, in which the colonies declared their independence from England.
• The war ended in 1783, and the United States of America was born.

Glossary

Just for fun

• Continental Congress: an assembly of colonial delegates that first convened in 1774 to address the colonies increasingly strained relationship with Britain.
• Declaration of Independence: a document written in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson that proclaimed American freedom from British rule.
• Hessians: mercenary soldiers recruited by the British from Hesse-Cassel and other German states to fight against colonial rebels.
• Minutemen: special groups of American militia that excluded men loyal to the Crown and that could fight at a minute notice; best known for service at Lexington and Concord.
• patriots: Americans who opposed and/or fought the British.
• redcoats: British soldiers, so named for their crimson jackets

 As the result of the American revolution, I see that revolt is one way to be independent. However, I do not think it is the only way.
