America shot a bunch of people in the 1700s protesting the King of England

  No, the colonies didn't protest the rebelled. The colonies procured arms, raised an army, and fought attempts by the British to reassert control. It wasn't a protest, it was a war.

    Are there wars where one party isnt protesting?
    • Manuel_D 4mo ago
      This is just a nonsensical question. The US Revolutionary War was a war. Whether or not there were non violent protests happening contemporaneously doesn't change the fact that it was a war.

        No. It became a war, but civil wars tend to not start all at once and out of the blue. What would the situation look like at the very beginning?
