Why did the Americans have a identity Crisis?

For one I believe that they struggled on who they were because they had always been British, they always had a king or someone to tell them or declared to them who they were, he had controlled them. Now people were saying we are our own people no more taxes but what does that mean. They did not think of who they were as to be Americans or British. I believe that if a leader had been selected sooner that they would begin to understand who they were if it was a american who ruled them, they must be americans, but as a result they went through this point in time that is now part of our Country’s History. 🙂

The Treaty of Paris

I believe that the Treaty of Paris was the most important because it closed the revolution and also gave us the ability to be a free country. The British started it by General Cornwallis sending terms of Surrender to General Washington. They dicided that to be fair they should not have it in Britain or in America, so they held it in France. Some trustworthy people were sent from the Britain to debate the rights the Americans (Colonists) had and Benjemin Francklin, John J, and John Adams were sent to defend the Americans. They met and in Paris an wrote what we now call the Treaty of Paris.
