American Independence

One thing that shocked me was how the colonists were not ready for independence, yet they were determined to defy British rule, due to misrepresentation in Parliament. I think that the colonists only thought that they were not ready as they depended on British trade for wealth, since they were economically weak. However, when the French alliances with the Americans, I think that they colonists were fully prepared and devoted to the idea of independence from Great Britain with the support of other countries.
