Decolonisation VI (The United States)

Gemini Deep Research report here.

Prompt for Deep Research:

Generate a report on ‘decolonisation’ in the United States, covering the process by which Americans became culturally and politically ‘less British’. This should focus on culture, rhetoric, economics and (inevitably but to a lesser degree) politics. Avoid spending too much time on the usual highlights of American revolutionary history. This should be a report on the process by which America became independent from Britain written for those who have no interest in revolutionary wars, Paul Revere, Lexington, constitutional conferences, etc.

Part of a broader series on decolonisation. I've already covered Sub-Saharan Africa and thought it might be worthwhile delving deeper into the historical context to which the term ‘decolonisation’ was first applied.
