American Independence

When the first European colonists arrived in North America, an independent America was likely inevitable. The United States of America had a number of causes. Some of these are discussed in the CW section about America's Heritage. This portal is the place to assign categories and pages about the period between 1763 and the winning of America's independence. This is the period between the Treaty of Paris in 1763, that ended the conflict between England and France, and the signing of the treat that granted American independence in 1783. In 1763, with hostilities with France at an end, King and Parliament turned attention to the colonies. It was not welcome attention in America. The pride that colonists took in their association with England was at an all time high in 1763. Thirteen years later, in 1776, representatives of each of the colonies signed the Declaration of Independence. Seven years after that, independence was secured.
