Answers

Answered by littlerose

While ill feelings led to the Boston Massacre in 1770, the Gaspée affair in 1772, and the Boston Tea Party in 1773, the actual shooting war began on April 19, 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. This was followed by the siege of Boston, and the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775.

So hostilities were already underway for more than 14 months by the time independence was "declared" on July 4, 1776.
