When she was finished, she knew what she had done had been awful. She stood up, did her curtsey, and slowly walked back to her seat. She tried not to cry as she felt every eye in the room fixed upon her, and as she endured the pain from some of the negative comments some people sitting

Many radical changes occurred with the American Revolution such as making the anti-slavery and women’s rights movements of the nineteenth century possible. It “changed the personal and social relationships of people, including the position of women, but also destroyed aristocracy as it had been understood in the Western world for at least two millennia.” (Wood 8).The people had to work together with each other, even the women and children, for the war. They all wanted the freedom from Britain, and unified for a victory. After, they felt freer and more equal and that

this! With a shriek, I rushed from the margin and buried my face in my hands -weeping bitterly,”

The American Revolution changed social effects for women and slaves. For women, gender equality would begin to apprear in Government discussions. Women did not win their fight for sufferage yet but the Revolution began the advancement of women in government causes. Women did in fact participate in the civil war (Document A). After the war women did not want to live the homestead life. Also (Document J) talk about women’s education began during the American Revolution. Before the Revolution, women were not taught how to read or write. Furthermore, slaves on the other hand had big changes also. The idea

"I smiled, --for what had I to fear? I bade the gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house."

This essay will examine the roles women played in the Revolution. The Revolution War did not erase differences of class, race, region, or age for either men or women. Victory of the American Revolution led to significant gender roles transformations in American society. The wartime experiences the great help of women, which question the women’s nature and their abilities. Women played many roles during the American Revolution, they were responsible for managing shops and farms, and they joined husbands or fathers in army camps to take up the familiar domestic chores, or serve as spies or saboteurs. On some occasions, few disguised themselves as men to enlist as soldiers. These factors created root in economic and social changes, and greatly

The American Revolution was a fight for independence. This battle was fought for eight-years with men on the forefront, and women in the background. The colonial woman was a homemaker. She cooked meals, made clothing, and doctored the family. At this time in America, men felt that women were beneath them and could not perform the man’s duties. However, homemakers went behind the scenes of the battlefield, and assisted in a number of different jobs. These jobs, to name a few, included being nurses, seamstresses, cooks, maids, laundresses, water bearers, soldiers and spies. Unbeknownst to the men, women would actually be needed and play a vital role in this war.

“Fighting….maybe for freedom, but probably not” was an indication of just how “revolutionary” the Revolution War era was for women. As America was going through a new estate with the legacy of the revolution, and striving for a new national governance, opportunities arose for both men and women. During the revolutionary era, woman showed achievements in war and education. Although, women developed a new consciousness that increased opportunities to influence public life, it was often limited and ridiculed by women’s traditional roles to society.

The American Revolution was very significant in the lives of all involved. This was a long war in American history lasting six years. “The war divided the colonists between Loyalists, rebels, and those who were indifferent to either side” (Schultz, 2009, pg. 112). Additionally, families were affected, women were laden with many more responsibilities, and slaves anticipated what the future held for them (Schultz, 2009).

All of us alive today have grown up learning about the American Revolution. Although it contains the word “revolution” in its name, there are many who don’t consider the American Revolution a real revolution. After considering the definition of a revolution – a radical change of an entire system, usually by war, resulting in a change of the way of life of the people involved – and the American society before and after the American Revolution, it is obvious that those who don’t consider the American Revolution a revolution are mistaken. Among the many aspects of colonial society affected by the American Revolution, those most greatly affected by the revolution were the attitude towards slavery, the role of women, and the role of trade.

"What do you mean," the girl tilted her head as if she doesn't believe the boy's statement. "Ah, now that you mention it, I do not even remember anything at all before we were captured here. My name is '''Katie Miu'''. My talent is mysterious so it's best if you don't know it until the very end."

The peal of Estelle Louise’s laughter made Clemmy Sue smile. Usually they talk nonstop, but tonight they ride in silence and contemplate what Miss Ta Rot had told Estelle

A deliberate cough escaped her throat, “Excuse me?” she spoke her voice, but her statement disappeared among the noise of the other conversations. Standing her ground, she repeated herself louder — the same result as before. The ebony haired woman scrunched her face in exasperation, realizing she had no choice.

When she returned to Boston she asked her grandmother if she could start another school in her grandmother’s dining room. After a bit of opposition, her grandmother agreed. There, she taught until 1835, but she became sick with tuberculosis and also exhaustion had set in. Because of her illness she closed the school and then traveled to Europe to recuperate, under the advice of her friends and family. She again returns to Boston, months later, but this time she found herself with a very large inheritance that would allow her to love comfortably for the rest of her life.4
