Answer:

The term flappers originated in Great Britain, where there was a short fad among young women to wear rubber ( an overshoe worn in the rain or snow ) left open to flap when they walked. The name stuck, and throughout the United States and Europe flapper was the name given to liberated young women.

Was there a particular moment between 1763 and 1783 when colonists became “americans” instead of “Englishmen” or was it a proces
kvv77 [185]

Between the years of 1763 and 1783 the people living in the American colonies started to became ''Americans'' instead of ''Englishman''. The reason for that were the economic actions taken by the British Parliament. The British were financially exhausted and in lot of debt because of the wars with France and Spain. In order to cover their debts, they implemented the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act, which were basically meaning that the colonies needed to pay higher taxes for exports and imports, and they were also limited from where they can import things because of the taxes. That started to create a lot of tensions because the people were losing lot of profit. Little by little the tensions started to turn into revolts, and eventually into a revolution, and a war for independence, as the colonists no more wanted to be part of the English Crown but instead started to declare themselves as separate entities, as Americans.
