Outline:
Through Longfellow’s famous poem, generations of young Americans have learned about the start of this nation’s struggle for independence. The rivalry among European nations for control of North America began soon after they started to explore and colonize the continent. At the end of the French and Indian war, British colonists believed they had every right to be regarded as full-fledged citizens of a great empire. The Americans and that King George labeled “rebels” (they called themselves patriots) followed the advice of the first commandment Congress. On one level, the American Revolution was struggle for power between the American colonists and Great Britain over who rule the colonies. By the time the declaration of Independence was issued, Britain and the American colonists had been fighting for more than a year. In the end, the British lost their colonies because the Americans had the determination to outlast their rulers.
