they still thought of themselves as loyal to britain
they formed alliances with other nations
they declared war on britain
In the period between the 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord and the British evacuation of Boston in March 1776, most colonists had not yet fully embraced independence. Many still held out hope for reconciliation with Britain, viewing themselves as loyal British subjects who were protesting unfair policies rather than seeking to break away entirely. Alliances with other nations (like France) came much later, and a formal declaration of war or independence was not made until July 1776.
