Chapter Five Shaping A New Nation 1781-1850



We're going to jump a little ahead in time, skipping over the colonization of the Americas, past the Revolutionary War, to the beginning of what would become the United States of America.



The first plan of government between the old British colonies after the Revolutionary War was over was know as the Articles of Confederation. It was a less than perfect plan and ultimitly didn't work very well.
