Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the American Revolutionary War began in 1775, a year before the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776?

Yes. Two reference sources state the Revolutionary War began in 1775 and that the Declaration of Independence was adopted in July 1776, over a year into the war. A few other sources date the war from 1775 without giving the Declaration's adoption date, and two peer-reviewed items place the war's official start after the Declaration.
