Question: When were the Americans on their own during the American Revolution?
About the article "American Revolution", section "The end of the war".

Candidate passages:
When Jews were being persecuted in Europe before the Second World War, Cuba was among the first countries in the Americas to take them in as refugees, and the Cuban Jewish community initially flourished.
Numerous Yiddish newspapers were distributed and anti-Semitism during the war years seems to have been non-existent.
But later, the Communist revolution led by Fidel Castro drove out 90% of Cuban Jewry.
The revolution was not directly anti-Semitic, but it frowned on religion in general, making life for practicing believers challenging.
By 1989, what had once been a vibrant Jewish community had less than 800 practicing members.
"Trip To Jewish Cuba" points out just how much the Americans can learn from the Cubans they are ostensibly helping.
Seeing the Cubans’ struggles makes their accomplishments seem that much more admirable, and causes the Americans to rethink their own sense of commitment.
“The feeling inside the synagogue!” an American woman exclaims, noting, “These are people who are proud to be Jewish.” Unlike American Jews who can afford to take their faith for granted, Cuban Jews have to make a strong effort just to keep their tradition alive.
Their enthusiasm to learn and pride in their accomplishments inspires their American visitors. 
Many Americans fought for the British cause in the American Revolution.
These men were Loyalists (often called Tories, or, occasionally, Royalists or King's Men).
They were Americans who remained loyal to Great Britain and the British Crown during the conflict.
In this article, the Loyalists will be called "Tories," and George Washington's winning side will be called, as they often were then, "Patriots.
"For a detailed analysis of the psychology and social origins of the Tories, see Loyalist (American Revolution).
This article is an overview of some of the prominent Tory military units of the Revolution, and of the fighting they did for their King against fellow Americans, during what was in fact the first American civil war. 
During the American Revolution, the newly proclaimed United States competed with the British for the allegiance of Native American nations east of the Mississippi River.
Most Native Americans who joined the struggle sided with the British, based both on their trading relationships and hopes that colonial defeat would result in a halt to further colonial expansion onto Native American land.
Many native communities were divided over which side to support in the war and others wanted to remain neutral.
The first native community to sign a treaty with the new United States Government was the Lenape.
For the Iroquois Confederacy, based in New York, the American Revolution resulted in civil war.
The British made peace with the Americans in the Treaty of Paris (1783), through which they ceded vast Native American territories to the United States without informing or consulting with the Native Americans. 
This 400-page publication centered around Priest's own study of the Bible and antiquarian journals, supplemented by information from his travels.
After visiting earthworks in Ohio and New York, Priest concluded that these mounds could be traced back to a lost race that had inhabited America even before the Native Americans.
This idea is now referred to as the "mound builder myth" and still has supporters in society today.
The book grew in popularity because of Priest's views on Native Americans.
"It tapped into the widely accepted view of those times that Native Americans were merely bloodthirsty savages, bent on the destruction of all but their own race.
It was inconceivable to Priest and like-minded men that a race so lazy and inept could conceive and build such huge, elaborate structures."
Priest speculated that the original dwellers could be the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
The reasoning Priest gives for his conclusion that there was an even earlier settler than the Native Americans relies upon his own Biblical interpretation of the flood story.
According to Josiah, after the great flood disappeared, Noah and his ark landed on America.
While surveying the land, Noah also discovered mounds that had been constructed before the waters rose up.
Upon seeing this, Noah questioned where these agricultural phenomenons came from.
"Surveying the various themes of mound builder origins, he could not decide whether the mounds were the work of Polynesians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Israelites, Scandinavians, Welsh, Scotts, or Chinese, although he felt certain the Indians had not built them.
"Priest's clear bias against Native Americans probably derived from stories he heard during the American Indian Wars.
Immediately following the American Revolution, Native Americans who were engaged in bloody and violent battles were frequently represented by the dominant culture as savages and threats to peace. 
The idea that the people were sovereign (often linked with the notion of the consent of the governed) was not invented by the Americans.
Rather, the consent of the governed and the idea of the people as a sovereign had clear 17th and 18th century intellectual roots in European history.
The American contribution lay in what Americans did with the idea that the people were the sovereign—how they struggled with and put that idea into practice.
Before the American Revolution, few examples existed of a people deliberately creating their own governments.
Most people in the world experienced governments as an inheritance—whether monarchies or expressions of raw power.
What underscored the excitement surrounding the creation of constitutions establishing governments in America after Independence was the fact that Americans deliberately and self-consciously created governments at one single moment explicitly relying on the authority of the sovereignty of the people (or "popular sovereignty").
The American Revolution marked the establishment of the concept of popular sovereignty in large scale practice as it had been discussed and experimented with in the European historical contexts.
With their Revolution, Americans substituted the sovereignty in the persons of the several European Monarchs, with a collective sovereign—composed of the people.
Henceforth, early Americans (in truth, ' "European revolutionaries" '), by and large agreed and were committed to the principle that governments were legitimate only if they rested on popular sovereignty – that is, the sovereignty of the people.
Having relied upon the people as the collective sovereign to establish their first state constitutions (and later the Federal constitution), numerous questions remained for Americans to answer.
What did a collective sovereign mean?
How did one recognize the voice or expression of that collective sovereign and in what ways could that collective sovereign act?
Americans struggled and contested over the answers to these questions from the time they declared Independence to the eve of the Civil War.
During this period the idea of the people as the sovereign both unified and divided Americans in thinking about government and the basis of the Union.
In 18th-century European political thought, "the people" excluded most of the population, such as women, slaves (not just Africans, but all slaves), those lacking sufficient property, people of Tribal Nations (not just Native Americans), and children.
While it took many generations to evolve the minds of the majority of the population immigrating to America from the rest of the world to a point where the term "We, the People" included everyone, this ideal was formally achieved at the dawn of the 20th century with the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Granted, long before this time, many of the people of several States had already evolved.
Historian Ronald Formisano notes that "assertions of the peoples' sovereignty over time contained an unintended dynamic of raising popular expectations for a greater degree of popular participation and that the peoples' will be satisfied."
