TOPIC: The British American Colonies started off as the disunited semi-independent colonies that were still tied to Britain. How did the War of Independence give the Colonies what they wanted? How exactly did the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution give the former colonials what they wanted? In other words, in what ways did independence give the citizens of the new U.S. what they wanted? How did it meet their dreams and goals?

This is not a research paper – this essay is to be written in your own words. No MLA – no works cited page.
This is not an essay just listing the reasons for the War of Independence. The reasons are important in that they indicate what the British colonials wanted. Again, what do they want, why, and did they get it by becoming independent? For this go back to the French and Indian War and colonial goals. Look at the causes of the rebellion against the Parliament and King. Look at what the U.S. accomplished.
