American Creation (late)

In the book American Creation, the author, Joseph J. Ellis, he talks about how the majority would lose to the minority. Also that a new plan of government that has never been tried before would become so successful. It was in the year of 1783 when the War for Independence was ended that George Washington would have written his last Circular to the States. Washington saw it as the American Revolution. It was the continued battle for the eastern third of North America. Two signed treaties would ensure that the newly founded Unties states of America would stay just that uncontested. The Peace of Paris in 1763 had eliminated France and the Treaty of Paris in 1783 had eliminated Great Britain. Afterwards, Washington had proposed an American tour of the “New Empire.” That proposal was a breathtaking imperial vision that would late become to be known as “manifest destiny.” Washington later wrote, “We have indeed so plain a road before us that it must be worse than ignorance if we miss it.”
