Discuss on In 1763, no one in Eastern North America envisaged that the celebrations and tensions following
the end of the Seven Years’ War would devolve into revolution. As late as March 1775, Benjamin
Franklin noted that he “never had heard in any Conversation from any Person drunk or sober,
the least Expression of a Wish for a Separation, or Hint that such a Thing would be advantageous
to America.”

Based on what you have read about the period comprised between 1763 and 1776 and focusing on particular examples (individuals, groups of actors, particular moments/events or texts),
discuss how that period could be seen as having laid the groundwork for independence while also assessing why the decision to declare and support independence on the part of some
colonists only occurred in 1776.
