Because to the British they “WERE TRAITORS”. You have to remember that at the time ,those we call “Patriots” were British citizens. They were rebelling against the lawful government. When you rebel against a lawful government ,you are considered a traitor. So , it’s simple, to those who supported the rebellion ,they were patriots. To those they rebelled against,they were traitors. To the British, those who remained loyal to the Crown were considered patriots. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out and understand this. If we had lost the Revolution, those we consider patriots,(Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson,Franklin,etc.) would have been hung as traitors,and rightly so. Now don’t get me wrong,as an American I revere Washington,Franklin etc. But depending on who looks at them they’re either traitors or patriots.

Which of these served as the government of the united states when the american revolution came to an end?

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

C. The articles of confederation

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first written constitution of the United States. Written in 1777 and stemming from wartime urgency, its progress was slowed by fears of central authority and extensive land claims by states. It was not ratified until March 1, 1781. Under these articles, the states remained sovereign and independent, with Congress serving as the last resort on appeal of disputes. Significantly, The Articles of Confederation named the new nation “The United States of America.” Congress was given the authority to make treaties and alliances, maintain armed forces and coin money. However, the central government lacked the ability to levy taxes and regulate commerce, issues that led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 for the creation of new federal laws under The United States Constitution.
