The Responsibility Of The United States After The Revolutionary War

After the war to cut off from Britain America made sure to become a nation different from Britian but soon they became just like the nation they ran away from. The United States government did start off strong hold onto their principles strongly, but not strong enough. Soon, their principles, their claims, and speeches began to contradict.
