The pursuit of independence in the latter half of the 18th century in the American Colonies developed slowly. As the British Crown and Parliament imposed more punitive and onerous laws, resentment grew among the American Colonists. In 1774 the Colonists established a separate shadow government and began training troops near Boston, Massachusetts. After military conflicts in 1775 at Lexington and Concord, and at the Battle of Bunker Hill, the independence movement gained momentum. George Washington was named Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in March 1776, and representatives of each Colony met in Philadelphia in June 1776 to draft the historic Declaration of Independence.

4797 Geneva Street New York, NY 10013 April 26, 2016 The Manager Courts Electronic Store 33 Shinn Street New York, NY 10011 Dear Sir I am writing to complain about the 19-inch LCD Television I bought at your store last week. First of all, the service was very slow. When I brought the TV home, I saw that it was not working. When I called your service department for the TV to be taken back, your customer representative was rude and said I’m too dumb to own a TV. In fact he told me some bad words. Finally, when I got my credit card statement, I realized that I was charged twice for the same service. If that’s’ how you treat customers, then I’m telling all my friends not to shop here! Yours truly, Kevin Torres
