Why was it so difficult for our founding fathers to unite the thirteen colonies?

It was difficult to unite the 13 American colonies after the American Revolutionary War. These colonies had previously been under the rule of the British Empire, they were dominated by people with British backgrounds and were living under a Monarchy and a powerful parliament controlled by the wealthy men of England, Their task was to not have a monarch or have a government anyway like that of Great Britain.Thus, the field was wide open in the goal of establishing something new. The colonies were different in their economies. The Southern ones were based on agriculture while Northern colonies were affected greatly by the industrial revolution they had absorbed from industrial England. Another factor dividing the founding fathers was their views on slavery which had been ingrained in the South for more than 100 years. The eventual decision to create a nation with a real "central" government as opposed to the one under the previous Articles of Confederation, presented a problem. Many wanted the new "federal" government to be as less powerful as possible. Others saw the need for a strong central government. Each of them had strong loyalties to their home colonies, and these colonies were almost independent of the others. They feared losing individual rights under a central government that was too strong and could hamper the rights the fathers were used to. All these factors made uniting the colonies into a viable State among the nations of the world very difficult.


What might have happened if parliament had allowed the colonist to rule and tax themselves?

What the colonist wanted was representation in parliament and if that had happened there may not have been a revolution, but parliament wasn't the problem it was the king. Many in parliament agreed with the colonies positions and wore a powder blue ribbon or clothing to show support.
