Q According to Tindal & Shi, what explains Americans’ desire to separate from Britain? Had certain aspects of American life transformed settlers – their habits, interests, beliefs, ideology, culture, or identity? Was separatism produced by a slow-developing process with deep roots in the colonial period, or by a sudden set of events that materialized in the 1760s and ‘70s? • Answer all these questions concisely in the first paragraph. • Then write a more detailed answer (2-4 paragraphs), deploying evidence and argumentation drawn from the textbook. • Give your post a title – a brief 4-5 word summation of the post – to give other students a preview of your post’s content.
