I'd suggest "The Second War for Independence" as it was the central issue of having Britain recognize us as a sovereign power that drove it. |
I thought the war was about the french and british disrespecting our neutral shipping by impressing our sailors. It wasn't meant to declare us as a sovereign power since britain already felt that way, it was really for the respect a sovereign nation deserves, not to mention we pretty much had to pick a side. And we owed the french for lafayette and the battle of yorktown.
