During the 18th century, America was still fighting for its independence from Great Britain. The 13 original colonies were founded, businesses and the population were starting to increase. It wasn't until 1776 that America was independent and free of British control. The American Revolution lasted from 1775-1781. This was during the time of the Enlightenment. George Washington is elected in 1789 and remains president until 1797.
