III. Somewhere along the way, Americans stopped thinking of themselves as Englishmen, and began thinking of themselves as Americans. This meant, first, that they perceived more and more which distinguished them from Englishmen, and second, that they perceived more and more which linked them with other Americans, no matter how otherwise diverse their respective colonies. Why? In your judgment, what was the single most important factor in effecting this transformation of identity? Defend your choice as being most important, then show how it operated to that end.
