After the War

     The Revolutionary War ended in 1783. America had defeated Great Britain. America was no longer controlled by a ruler: a monarchy. America was free and had independence. They chose to become a democracy. A democracy is when the citizens get to vote and pick their own leader. America had now broken free of Britain's grasp and had become their own, more independent country. They controlled what was being imported, they didn't have any taxes, and all of the money went to the country. America was now free and their own country; with no one to tell them what they can or cant do.
