The date of the writing of the Articles of Confederation is noted as July 9, 1778, with the date the Congress commissioned the writing of them set as November 15, 1777. Both dates occur before the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783. Speculate why it was important that the Articles be written and in place before the British granted independence to the United States.
