Chapter 6: Securing Independence, Defining Nationhood, 1776-88 The Prospects of War The Revolution gave white northerners and southerners their first real chance to learn what they had in common, and they soon developed mutual admiration. In July 1776, the thirteen colonies had declared independence out of desperation and joined together in a loosely knit confederation of states. Only as a result of collective hardships experienced during eight years of terrible fighting did the inhabitants cease to see themselves only as military allies and begin to accept one another as fellow citizens. Americans remained divided over some basic political questions relating to the distribution of power and authority. Loyalists and Other British Sympathizers

Samuel Choi CHAPTER 4 OUTLINE: American Political Culture Introduction Complete dependence on a constitution(even the American Constitution) does not guarantee the survival of the government nor protection of liberties. The U.S. Constitution has been copied by many other nations. Examples include Argentina, Philippines, and Brazil. In nearly every instance, the constitution lasted a short time. Democratic rule lasts short time, and then is interrupted by events such as military takeover and corruption. Such a pattern was noticed by Alexis Tocqueville. Tocqueville found several reasons for the sole survival of the American Constitution The U.S. was more suited for such a Constitution.

Chris Manguno AP English III April 2, 2014 1st Period American?society today is quite different from the time when the republic was established.??Thomas Paine wrote about the characteristics of American society around when the constitution was signed.??He declared it a place where arguments should have been crazy, but, instead, ?cordial unison? was present.??Today, many individuals still consider America united; sadly naivety guides this presumption.??He also wrote about how a government based on the ?rights of man? made that unison possible; the reference to the ?rights of man? should be better known as Natural Law. The general government applies Natural Law to their practices in very few cases, anymore.
