  • It begins

    Maryland finallly ratifys to make the Articles effective.

  • Revolutionary War ends

    The long Revolutionary War ends. America Wins.

  • America's Win is made sure

    America's victory was confirmed by the signign of the Treaty of Paris. Weakness soon surfaced in the Articles of Confederation.

  • George's invitation

    Representatives from two States met at Alexandria, Virginia. At George Washington's invitation, they moved their sessions to his home at nearby Mount Vernon. They went over how they should fix the bitter trade disputes.

  • Change is on the Horizon

    Those who were most threatened by economic and political instability, large property owners, merchants, traders, and other creditors soon took the lead in efforts to change.

  • Not everyone shows up

    A joint meeting in Annapolis, Maryland. The turnout was very poor, only 5 out of the 13 States attending. This meeting didn't do much for anyone though.
