The American Revolution (1775-83) can't have been "a disagreement over interpretation of the constitution of the United Kingdom", which was established in 1801, pursuant to the Acts of Union. The North American colonies were colonies first of England, then of Great Britain. Any seventh-grader could have told us.--Wetman (talk) 23:54, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References

I noticed a number of references using the url to a Google Book link. I though editors might be interested in a tool which takes a link as input and creates a (usually) properly formatted ref.

Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books

I used it to improve two such references.

It really helps creates a much cleaner list of references. I hope you will try it. S Philbrick (Talk) 16:24, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
