Overview |
Resources |
During this time period, the American colonies moved from loyal subjects of the English crown to independence and the challenges of governing a new nation. As a result of growing enlightenment ideas and the end of salutary neglect, the colonies fought and won a revolution creating the United States. However, these drastic changes created monumental challenges in the new nation resulting in the growth of political parties, debates over federal power, and international quarrels with European countries. Ultimately, the time period ended with the Revolution of 1800, where political power shifted from the Federalists to the Democratic-Republicans with little resistance, indicating a peaceful transfer of power in the republic.
