=﻿ ﻿The American Revolution is like a Refrigerator. =

Difficulty of Britain having colonies on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean=Something in very back of a refrigerator It's very hard to get to something in the back of a full refrigerator just like it was very hard to control or tell what to do.
