Someone Who Knows More About American History Than I
What was the general political and social climate in the years between the end of the revolution and the adoption of the Articles of Confederation?
I was reading the NYT front-page story on Egypt and it's really disheartening. That report coupled with what friends from Cairo are telling me paints a really sad picture. We were all so excited in February but it seems like now nothing is happening. I know it took the early Americans several years to really put this country together, but I'm curious what the day-to-day was like in the meantime. I wonder if it was similar to what's going on there - looks like nothing is happening, but maybe it will all shake out over the next few years.
Re: Someone Who Knows More About American History Than I
I'll look into it a bit in a sec. Wikipedia says the Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777 to help with the war, which didn't end until at 1783. Then the constitution came in 1789.
BRB with more, hopefully.
So far not so much. I found something that mentioned the number of loyalists who moved to Canada. They said it was about 80,000 people. That's pretty interesting.
Most of the things I'm reading skip over the grizzly part and go straight to "look how the US expanded and added lots of territory!"
