HOW TO MANUALLY ENTER A COORDINATE: A waypoint is simply a unique address for any point in the world, but instead of the traditional street/city/state/zip format weâre used to for road travel, GPS units utilize waypoints expressed in mapping formats such as latitude/longitude or the UTM Grid.
The American Revolution began in 1775 as open conflict between the united North American thirteen colonies and Great Britain. By the Treaty of Paris that ended the war in 1783, the colonies had won their independence. With this treaty, the British parliament officially recognized the sovereignty of the United States.
Although King George III was later burned in effigy in the streets of the colonies, his relaxed ruling style inspired little ire among the colonists in the 1760s. In 1763, few would have predicted that by 1776 a revolution would be unfolding in British America. The ingredients of discontent seemed lacking â at least on the surface. The colonies were not in a state of economic crisis; on the contrary, they were relatively prosperous. Unlike the Irish, no groups of American citizens were clamoring for freedom from England based on national identity.
