According to the passage, by the time the American Revolution took place, ____ .
As with all revolutions, the causes of the American
Revolution which separated the original thirteen American
colonies from Great Britain were social, economic and
political and so inextricably interwoven that it is difficult to
appraise them. First there was the distance from Great
Britain and the environment of a new country which,
whether they willed it or not, had gradually over a period
of 150 years turned Englishmen into Americans. The older
stock was largely English but the bulk of them, as a
contemporary historian commented. "knew little of the
mother country, having only heard of her as a distant
kingdom, the rulers of which had in the preceding century
persecuted and banished their ancestors to the woods of
America". With each generation and with each move
westward old contacts were broken. Furthermore large
groups of colonists had come from Germany, Ireland and
other parts of Europe and had no ties with England and, in
the case of the Irish, no affection.
