  Tip: You will see a highlighted yellow column in the center of the page. It provides links to major thematic sections within this very large encyclopedia article. For example, click on The Movement for Independence (1754-1783) and it will take you directly to that section.
  Great feature: The Facts in Brief icons that are scattered through the resource. These links take you to targeted tables with timelines, population information.
