The 13 Colonies: What Were They Going To Do?

There was a war fought between the original thirteen colonies and Great Britain around April in 1775. This war was known as The American Revolution and although war was pretty common back then but, this was a different kind of war. The thirteen colonies that were rebelling against their mother country were fighting to become a country where every human has the freedom to do and say what they wanted. Also, they had many new ideas for running a country that many countries had never thought of or that they did not want. These ways of running government had never been tried before and were huge changes to how things were done back then. The American Revolution would end up not only changing the thirteen colonies into America, but it also changed

The three regions of the original Thirteen Colonies maintained their own unique distinctions from one another despite the few similarities they held. These regions were the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. On the factors of religion, politics, social structure, and economy, the very nature of the land, as well as the goals of the settlers determined what direction the regions took. The south took to slavery and farming cash crops while trade and manufacturing were staples of the other colonies. Wealth was the mission of those in the south while family and religious freedom were the desire of those in New England. Economies tended to frame how the politics of the region functioned as well as the family life as well.

After the end of the revolutionary war america and britain came together with a treaty to end the war called the treaty of paris. With the signing of the treaty america gained its freedom and right to govern itself but also something else. America also gained its independence when the treaty was signed.

It was then when Continental Congress met up in Pennsylvania and created a secured a document known as the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was written on November 15, 1777, and ratified by all thirteen states on March 1, 1781. When the Articles of Confederation were written it had many goals in mind to set and preserve the country with all its freedoms, keeping America an independent nation. Since the states were coming from Great Britain, a country where they weren 't represented by

Colonies  -  The 13 colonies of British North America included New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. A representative from each colony was sent to the Second Continental Congress in May of 1775 to debate the topic of independence. Although initial disagreement seemed to stall the drive towards independence, by July 2nd, 1776 all 13 colonies committed to fighting in the war for independence.

The American Revolutionary War was a long hard fought war that lasted about 8 years. Many Countries were involved in the war, such as The United States, France, Great Britain, Spain, and The Dutch Republic. Not all countries actually fought but they provided either side with weapons and supplies to help them have a greater chance of winning the war. More than 70,000 people were killed during the great American Revolutionary War. The Americans were tired of the loyalist British taking advantage of them. They were tired of the new taxes that kept being created by the British. The Americans were tired of being pushed around, so they decided to do something about it. High Tensions eventually got between the two countries and they began to start a war, which was known as The American Revolutionary War. Before the war began, a great man implied, “One of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedoms of one’s house, a man’s house is his castle”, informing everyone that the colonies should be freed from British control (Otis). The American Revolutionary war was a war started, so the 13 colonies of America could gain there independence from Great Britain. Thousands of soldiers were killed while many others were severely wounded. The American Revolutionary war was one of the greatest wars in American history, because it had many great battles, was led by some of the greatest leaders, and got the 13 colonies independence from Great Britain.

After numerous harsh battles had been fought during the American Revolution, the Americans would at last claim their independence from the Great Britain. The United States would officially become its own nation once the Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3rd of 1783. The leaders of this new American nation now had a new adventurous journey ahead, one that would have many troubles and issues along the way. In the act of establishing government in America, the new leaders would create the Articles of Confederation, which was the first constitution of the United States. This document would help to settle the conflicts taking place inside the new nation.

In the summer of 1776, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, the thirteen colonies and Great Britain had a lot of disagreements. The Colonies decided it was time to break away from a tyranny and become their own country based on freedom and democracy. A tyranny is a cruel and oppressive government that abuses its power. The new found country, America, came together to write their first constitution, the Articles Of Confederation. The AOC was created to give the state's power over themselves.

After the 13 colonies became independent it affected all the years to come, it gave the citizens a feeling of patriotism and helped the improvement of the economy. The United Stated became stronger as a nation thanks to The War of 1812, Economic Improvements, and the Westward Expansion.

In 1776 the British colonies commonly referred to as the “Thirteen Colonies” broke away from their motherland of Great Britain with Declaration of Independence. From Treaty of Paris in 1793 and onward the colonies were known as the United States of America. The 19th and 20th centuries brought the inclusion of 37 states into the Union as the country expanded from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific across the North American landscape. During that same time, two pivotal events in American History took place. The first event being the Civil War (1861-1865) in which the Union, comprised of northern states crushed a secessionist rebellion of eleven southern states to preserve their “peculiar institution” of slavery. The other event was the Great Depression,

I am learning about Connecticut and Georgia and it is fun learning about this. Because you get to work in groups and learn about the 13 Colonies. And they are the original colonies. Connecticut was founded in 1636 by Thomas Hooker and is the 6th Colonie. Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe and is the 13 colony.

The roots of, and reasons for the rebellion of the 13 colonies can be found in the 16th century. There have been several factors that have laid the groundwork for the colonies to rebel against England. The 16th Century was a significant time when exploring the New World. There were three reasons why exploration to the New World took place, God, Gold, and Glory (known as the 3 Gs) (Lecture 7). Throughout this essay we will explore events that led up to the rebellion such as Ysabela’s hope to spread Christianity to the New World, how the Spaniards treated the Indians upon arrival to the New World, the defender of the Indians Bartolome de las Casas, Spain’s significant decrease in power, The Battle of Laponto, the introduction of Elizabeth I, the two circumnavigators from England, and the English settlement of Jamestown.

A new country was on the rise to success in 1790. Along with the French , the thirteen colonies of America had joined hands in order to defeat the greatest empire of the world. The founding fathers of America wanted to write a constitution that had never been written before. And it was indeed one of a kind. The purpose of the constitution was to hold the nation together like glue. The thirteen states were all dissimilar and somewhat like its own country. Although, they all had to stand beside each other and make things work. The war of independence waged by the colonies against the Great Britain was known as the American Revolution. Unfortunately, after the American Revolution the country was under a huge debt.

The total of casualties from both sides of the war was about 50,000 soldiers and the 10,000 American troops died from diseases. For the British they lost 24,000 troops and 3,500 died in battle. The cost of the war was very high but paying for the Revolutionary war was the start of the United State’s debt. In 1783 they were in debt of 40 million dollars. The Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War after the U.S., Spain, France and Great Britain signed it in 1783 and it recognized the United States as a new and independent country. Also the Americans won the war with some help from the French who also fought against the

On April 19, 1775, Americans will never forget when many deaths and historical events occurred allowing the colonist to receive their victoriorous justice. Colonists were frustrated because Britain forced them not to have any representation in the British Parliament. This led to an American battle which had 4,435 deaths involving this event. Although, we lost many lives during this time period, we gained justice and independence from Great Britain, with the help of one of Americas strongests allie; the French. In fact, without assistance, the Americans were no match for Britains; showing the hatred towards the British from the French and Americans, thus, making it easy for them to form an alliance. In 1778, representatives of both America
