I have to assess the validity of this statement:
" Despite the view of some historians that the conflict between Great Britain and its 13 North American colonies was economic in origin, in fact the Amercan Revolution had its roots in politics and other areas of life."

Is my summarized assessment correct?
I'm going to include something along the lines of:
This statement is only somewhat valid the roots of the Revolution were in both politics and economics.
- and I would give examples of my statement.
 
It's not my area of expertise, but it seems surprising that historians would see economics as so prominent in the independence movement.
