Impact Of The American Revolution On The United States Of America

It is generally agreed upon that the Revolution was guaranteed- even foretold- since the idea of settling on it was even suggested- no one can give a large group of people the idea to run themselves and still keep control from thousands of miles away. England had it, but lost that control of their child nation in 1766 when they revoked the Stamp Act and gave the colonists the notion that they had the power and authority to independently run the budding country. After being allowed this minute freedom, the colonists were not pleased with Parliament 's taxes and attempts of an iron fist hold on the Americas- and along with their opposing views on nearly everything, decided that they were no longer pleased with being considered British. Salutary neglect also contributed to the colonists ' inflated sense of pride- aptly named because at this time England 'neglected ' the colonies, giving them room for individual theories, politics, beliefs, and the abilities to run their own lives for a while. The freedom was too much for them to go back to how things were before when England decided to tighten their grip. At this time, the colonists started a war to free themselves.

Both the British and the American colonists contributed to causing the American Revolution. The war grew out of contempt: England’s contempt for the colonies and colonial contempt for British policies. A series of actions by the British eventually pushed the colonists over the edge and towards independence. The results of the war gave many citizens a new role in society while others, like slaves, felt no change at all. This paper will examine the specific causes and effects of the American Revolution.

Many revolutions have taken place throughout history, ranging from the unremarkable to the truly memorable, such as the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution and the American Revolution. Through an examination of the social, cultural, economic and political causes of the American Revolution, an exploration of key arguments both for and against the American Revolution, and an analysis of the social, cultural, economic and political changes brought about by the American Revolution it can be demonstrated unequivocally that the American Revolution was indeed truly revolutionary.

The United States of America was established in the Enlightenment period. No other country has the imprint of this period like the United States. “The contributions of men like Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson to the founding and development of America and its ideals are inconceivable outside of an Enlightenment context,” (Staloff, 3). The ideals of liberty and equality echos the language of the Enlightenment and conveys the most intense thoughts about the political life and the rights of mankind. It was through this Enlightenment that they wrote the Declaration of Independence and founded the United States of America.

The American Revolution was the point of change in the world. It was the first time that a democratic government was developed and tested in a time where monarchies ruled Europe and it was the time when the world saw that the concept of democracy could lead to the fundamental change in society, specifically politically, socially, and economically. However, even though it was the point in change for the world, to what extent did it change American society politically, socially, and economically in the period between 1775-1800? The answer is that political, social, and economic effects of the American Revolution impacted society to different extents and established ideas that would later influence future movements and changes in America.

The cause and effects of the American Revolution (1775-1783) are quite controversial among students and historians alike. One opinion believes that the American Revolution was a conservative movement, meaning that the revolution sought to preserve original American values while trying to eliminate some negative aspects of the New World, such as its ruler, Great Britain. While Americans achieved independence from England in the end, America’s initial traits were not preserved, but rather altered. The Revolution drastically changed political and social features of the United States but the economy was hardly affected.

The American Revolution marked the historical intensity associated with this great nation. The revolution was multifaceted and was also dynamic in nature as it involved a lot of twists and turns that later shaped the course of the American citizens. There are numerous causes linked with the triggering and commencement of the revolution. The discussion below critically exploits and explores various reasons that led to the start of the revolution.

While many historians might argue that the American Revolution was not so revolutionary in its nature, there is no denying the lasting effects that it has had not only on the continent, but the world. Through an analysis of documents from this period and the social, political, and economic changes that occurred in the colonies, it is clear that the colonial governmental system was radically changed during this time period. The political ideas that emerged from this revolution have shaped modern democratic governments for years, coupled with the advancement of other Enlightenment ideals.

From the period of 1762-1775, the American Revolutionary War made the first strides in conveying an end to the world's last great true empire and established a new system of government predicated on the ideals, exceptionally by the theory of the Enlightenment. Starting with the cease of the Seven Years War between Great Britain and France, there were a series of events that triggered the beginning of the American Revolution. Taking after the triumph over France, Great Britain was in rigorous debt and they opted to commence taxing the colonists, leading to more outbreaks. Inevitably, the rift in the relationship between the colonists and the British prompted the American Revolutionary War and the formation of a new nation.

The American Revolutionary Era was one of the most important periods in American history. This period marked the first time were the newly found Americas would successfully colonized. This Era brought change that defied the current framework of society, promoted a sense of equality, and formed a new economic structure. However, the extent at which the Revolutionary Era can be called “truly revolutionary” is debatable. If we look at the effects the Revolutionary Era had on society, including African slaves, women, and the Indigenous Peoples, it could be characterized as (oxymoronically) un-revolutionary in the sense that pre-Revolutionary Era ideologies continued on into the Revolutionary Era.

IN 1763 the British ended its long war on the north American continent and had a massive wartime debt. The British needed to try to shift some of the cost of protecting and defending the colonies to the colonist. American resisted various taxation the British parliament began to resist the taxation acts passed by the Parliament like the Sugar Act of 1764 and the stamp act of 1765.When the Parliament taxed America without having any American sitting in the Parliament they began to rally against it saying no taxation without representation and thousands joined the revolutionary movement.

The American Revolution played a huge role in the development of American society. The revolution helped shape an economically stable and independent country. The revolution came about in 1775 and ended in 1783. The American Revolution was the first revolution in which people fought for their independence. The changes to American society after the American Revolution can be put into three different categories, economic changes, political changes, and social changes. Socially, the revolution affected homeland with the Indians, African Americans, and big changes were made on the home front. Economically, multiple countries began to slow down trade with America. And politically, the American Revolution represented a drastic change in spreading the idea of liberty to other people.

The American Revolution had a significant impact on many aspects of life. Not only did it affect different race like the African American slaves and gave them opportunities to escape their slave life and join the arm or reach freedom. It also gave new light to women and questioned all social relations. It too had affected the social class, creating a challenge of the economy. It had improved the lives of some by creating opportunities in the economy but left others hurting.

Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “We and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.” America has thought with this mindset since the beginning. Most Americans today, when asked how they feel about liberty and freedom, will tell you something along those lines. Without the American Revolution, America as we know it would not exist. The revolution was an incredible journey that changed our nation; the Sons of Liberty can be credited with setting it into action.

major ones. These major changes were social change, political change, and economic change. These 3 changes were only the major ones there a lot of other changes caused by the American Revolution. Like the colonies independence drew lines between British Canada.
