Exam Question: The road to American independence and its establishment of a new republic had many influences. Write a detailed analysis of the contributions of the following toward establishing American independence: The French and Indian War; George Grenville; The Stamp Act; the principles of life, liberty and property; Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

You may use other sources than your textbook to answer the question but you must write the essay in your own words. I will not accept material copied from external sources. Quoted material must use quote marks. Be sure to identify your sources with a footnote. Exams with plagiarized material, whatever the source, will not receive any credit.
