American War of Independence
In 1777, all the colonists were in the middle of a war against the British. After awhile the French joined the colonists in 1778. Three years later the British finally surrendered at battle of Yorktown in Virginia.
Every colony is now known as a state and each one has its own political assembly then the American had 13 stripes and 13 stars for the 13 original colonies.
