[edit] “American Revolution” v. “American War of Independence”
First line of the Second Paragraph: "The Congress of the Confederation opened in the midst of the American Revolution." American Revolution links to the wikipedia article on the American Revolution. However there is also an article: American War of Independence. The former article discusses the political and philosphical angle of the American Revolution, while the latter focuses on the course of the war and the battles themselves. I suggest the link should instead be to the American War of Independence article. Mainly, because it appears it main point of the sentence is to emphasize that the Congress of the Confederation began during wartime. Any thoughts? --Chops79 00:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Congress of the Confederation" versus "2nd Continental Congress"
The official printed proceedings of this body [1] call it the "Continental Congress." The section covering 1788-1789 still calls it the "Continental Congress." [2]. The Library of Congress site says "The First Continental Congress met from September 5 to October 26, 1774. The Second Continental Congress ran from May 10, 1775, to March 2, 1789." [3]. What is the source for it being called the "Congress of the Confederation?" We usually go with the name something calls itself or the most commonly used name. Thanks. Edison 21:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
