Celebrating 250 years of America:  A four-part series that will examine the Making of America from the early colonial days through the American Revolution and the writing of the United States Constitution.  We will examine the sequential and consequential steps that led to the forming of what would become the United States of American, the freest and most influential nation to ever exist.

The second of this four-part series will review the short timeframe between the. French and Indian War and the Declaration of Independence.  A series of British authoritarian proclamations negate the freedoms enjoyed by the colonies.  Loyal British subjects in America begin to believe they are not viewed by Parliament as full citizens of Great Britain and examine applicable options that include separation from the rule of King George III.
