The invocation of divine will is an example of one of the many ways in which Europeans sought to change the story about their relationship with Native Americans during America’s early history. They describe themselves as intellectually and culturally superior, as deserving of the land they call theirs. Jean O’Brien argues in her book Firsting that New English history utilizes narrative frameworks to erase Native American’s role in history United States Indian policy and history. This essay will argue that these frameworks utilize race and culture as divisive tools, as well as paternalistic ideals to claim power over Native Americans. Finally the re-scripting of events through diaries and other literature that describe Indian “occupation” rather than possession or nativity, or the “first” wedding in a New English colony to manufacture a status quo where the New English become native New Englanders, and where Indians become intruders in settlements rather than the land’s native inhabitants.

The policy of The British Empire as set by Her Majesty’s Government was to avoid becoming embroiled in the conflict on either side, in short to remain neutral.
Evolution of the American Revolution: Causation to Sovereignty The American Revolution is described as the political uprising of the thirteen British Colonies of North America against the British Empire during the last half of the eighteenth century. Officially, the conflict lasted from 1775, starting with the “shot heard round the world,” to 1783 when the British Government recognized the independence of the colonies as one sovereign nation. The Revolutionary War was preceded by politically, socially, and economically related ideals and events that altogether inspired the unification of the independent colonies and their separation from the British Empire. The key influences of the American Revolution include: the French and Indian War; the Navigation, Currency, Stamp Tax, Declaratory, Townsend Duties, Tea, and Intolerable Acts; as well as the political and religious ideals of the colonists. The revolutionary era for the American Colonies began around 1763 after the British removed the military threat of the French from North America during the French and Indian War, which resulted in substantial economic debt for the British Empire.

In 1815 North American events were primarily determined by the United States of America, which at that time governed the territory from the East Coast to more or less the Rocky Mountains in the west, and by two major colonial powers, namely Spain in the west and Great Britain in today`s Canada. All three found themselves in a process of continental expansion, which was essentially motivated by social, religious and political matters and ideologies and often culminated in wars like The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), The War of 1812 between the United States of America and the British Empire or the Mexican-American War which was settled in 1848 – wars that played a major role in the U.S. state building process. This North American process was dependent on differences and divergences, but also of interaction and entanglement within a common frame, but especially on its level of participants’ sovereignty. Therefore, in 1815 the colonial powers Great Britain and Spain were in a race for the North American supremacy with the United States, which held the leading position due to its increasing independent status. All of them found themselves in between a colonial establishment, maintenance and acquisition of new territory on the one hand and a post-colonial identity finding organization of their territory on the other hand.
