In your own words with AT LEAST 5 complete sentences that create a well-written paragraph, describe AT LEAST 3 factors that helped create unity among American colonists in the 1760's and 1770's.

Many different influences led the colonists to have a highly developed sense of unity and identity. War and British incompetence and victimization largely culminated in colonial unification, while (ethnic) plurality and the divide between Europe and North America culminated in a distinctly American identity. Britain's debt from the French and Indian War led it to attempt to maintain power over its colonies and to collect revenue through direct taxation (e.g., the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts, the Tea Act, and the Unreasonable Acts), causing tensions between Britain and its colonies.

Explanation:

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
