    3. Resentment towards American colonists grew in Parliament among those who saw
    Americans as unwilling to financially support a war on their behalf.
    4. American colonists unified for the first time against a common enemy.
    5. Colonial militias saw themselves as volunteers or a "people's army" in contrast to the
    authoritarian and coercive British army.
    6. France's influence in development of North American dwindled mightily.
