The Articles of Confederation were signed by the Congress in November 15 1777 and sent to individual States for ratification. But final ratification was delayed due to a dispute between Virginia and Maryland over land claims that lasted four years.

After the war of 1812, the United States experienced a surge of NATIONALISM, or love of country.
