Which best describes what post-revolutionary americans valued? a. war, triumph, and celebration b. absolute power, laws, and structure c. freedom, independence, and democracy d. self-reliance, transcendentalism, and nature

My opinion on the question is like this. The Americans before the Rev. war wanted war against Great Brittan and wanted triumph against them. But they didn't want all that. They did sort of want absolute power, laws and structure but didn't really show that. The Americans wanted C, they wanted freedom from the persecution and hardships of Brittan's rule, they wanted independence from Brittan, and they wanted democracy. Because they were tired of not having any really known laws to go by, and they wanted to establish rule and guidelines that they ( the Americans ) liked. And the last answer, the only thing relevant in that is self reliance. But the correct answer is C. :D
