About The American Revolution
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit follows the Revolution from its causes to its end. Early items look at the French and Indian War and the Sugar Act and Stamp Act. Others cover the Boston Tea Party, the Intolerable Acts, the First Continental Congress, Lexington and Concord, the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of Paris.
There are also resources on people and groups, such as the mind maps Women in the War and African Americans in the American Revolution, and a note on Salem Poor. A quiz on John Laurens adds a personal angle.
Where to start
- Try Road to Revolution quiz or Boston Tea Party to see what you already know about the causes.
- Open the mind map Causes of the American Revolution to fill in what you missed.
- Move on to The path to the war of independence 1770-1775, which asks about Lexington and Concord and Paul Revere.
- Finish with 8 America Secedes from the Empire 1775-1783, which asks you to put events in chronological order.
Using quizzes and maps together
Quizzes show you where you are unsure. Mind maps then give you the wider picture, so you can see how one event led to the next. Flashcard decks such as Intolerable Acts and American War of Independence Dates help with vocabulary and dates. Notes and flowcharts, like the one on the Stamp Act crisis, suit slower reading.
Exams and levels
Most resources are pitched at secondary level. Some mention AP US History, A-level History or GCSE History, so check each resource against your own course. APUSH Period 3 Multiple Choice is one example for AP students.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the strand The Americas within History. Teachers can use the quizzes as ready-made starters or review tasks, and students can pick whichever format suits them.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with a quiz on the causes, such as Road to Revolution quiz or Boston Tea Party. They show quickly which events you know. Then open the mind map Causes of the American Revolution to fill gaps before trying the later-war quizzes.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover causes, key events and people. You will find maps on the Boston Tea Party, Lexington and Concord, the First Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of Paris. Others look at women, African Americans and the reasons Britain lost the war.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking each one against your own course notes.
Which exams do the resources suit?
Most are secondary level. Some resources mention AP US History, A-level History or GCSE History. Titles like APUSH Period 3 Multiple Choice and APUSH: Topic 3.6 The Influence of Revolutionary Ideals point to AP study. Always match content to your own specification.
Can I save my scores or make my own?
A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is handy if you want to adapt a listed deck, or build a set for a class.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Try a nearby title first, since many resources overlap. Causes, war stages and the Declaration of Independence each have quizzes, maps and flashcards. If you still find a gap, you could make your own resource and keep it for revision.
