Did the Revolutionary War cause a shift in American society from "social expectation" to "self-interest" between 1763-1815? [HINT: Explain social relations during the colonial period.] Include info about: Why did the colonists react so strongly to the Proclamation of 1763? Why did so many protest the Stamp Act? How did the belief in "social expectation" explain why many colonists opposed the Revolutionary War? Why did some see the Constitution as a threat to self-interest? Finally, why did the battle between federalism and republicanism represent the last battle between "social expectation" and "self interest" in America?
