Honestly, this is just a bad article. The history of engineering in the USA is actually SUPER important. The article touches on some restrictions the British imposed on their colonies, but it goes much further. The fight for 'Sovereignty' took a long time and was almost never certain.

But still really, really, good (I mean... it's Yale) The Revolution with Professor Freeman - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shTBSGoYtK0&list=PLDA2BC5E785D495AB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shTBSGoYtK0&list=PLDA2BC5E78...
