Colonists Victory

The colonists first rejected the Parliament of Great Britain in the last half of the 18th century. The colonies joined together to defend the idea of self-governance. They united to form one nation and broke away from the British empire. 1776 is when the colonists made the Declaration of Independence. They made their rights and proved the British king a tyranny. They established a relatively powerful federated government. The United States Bill of rights came directly after, compromised the first 10 constitutional amendments.
