"The year 1776 marked America’s victory in the War for Independence."
When it starts with a mistake like that, I see no point in reading further.
It's like Bachman or Palin on history.
stilling waiting for you to explain this!!! so you are saying we didn't win our independence on july 4 i776!
The last military engagement was at Yorktown where Cornwallis surrendered on Oct. 19, 1781.
The British Commons voted to end the war in April 1782
The peace treaty was signed on Sept. 3, 1782
The last British troops left New York on Nov. 25, 1783
Congress ratified the treaty on Jan. 14, 1784
Pick which one you think represented "victory", it was not July 4, 1776.
