Revolutionary War Dbq

The documents does shows that rich leaders did riled up the colonists to start the American Revolutionary War. One reason why I say this is because document B shows a letter from London posted later on the Boston Gazette Supplement shows how the british people feel about the act to anger the people in the colonies. Secondly, document C talks about how Presbyterians has riled up the colonists to go against Britain basically a group of a people riling up the colonists. Thirdly all the documents shows how people are being riled up some way by other people. This is why I think that the documents does show that rich leaders riled up the colonists to start the American Revolutionary War.

The Revolutionary War was revolutionary because of social class changes (Document 3), economical changes (Document 4), and hate against the british king increasing. (Document 1) Document 3 shows how the rich, the middle class, and the low class are playing pool, and before the Revolutionary War, the low class do not usually play games. Document 1 shows a group of people taking down a statue of King George III, to use it for bullets to shoot his troops. This shows that the Revolutionary War increased violence against the British people and their king.

From one perspective war has always been the same, technology may improve or philosophies may change, but wars are started by those in power and fought by the poor. The results now may be somewhat different from 1775, post-Revolutionary war time with rebellions like Shay’s Rebellion, but the various reasons for the poor to join the military have stayed relatively the same.

The Revolutionary War could not have been avoided. The colonists had to let British soldiers into their home to live even when a war was not going on. The British were forcing unreasonable laws and acts onto the colonists. The colonists had to boycott british goods so they did not have to pay the taxes that the british were forcing on them. The war was caused by the British treating colonists unfairly with, the taxes, the acts, and the colonists had to boycott British goods.

The Revolutionary War was between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Thirteen American colonies. The colonists did not like the way the British were treating them, especially when it came to taxes.great britain was ching to get more land but the american were living in america The colonists living in the British North American colonies who rebelled against the authority of the crown were known as patriots, revolutionaries, continentals, colonials, rebels, Yankees, or Whigs. However, those who remained faithful to the Crown were known as loyalists, Royalists, King’s Men, or Tories. At least that was the theory.

The American Revolutionary war was won by many contributing factors including the Colonist willingness to have the attitude for hope of freedom, great leadership, and foreign assistance. This war brought many people the chance for a different way of life. Great Britain was placing additional taxes or duties on the colonist which caused more unrest to the people. The battle between Great Britain and the thirteen colonies started with the shot heard around the world at Lexington.

The time period between 1775 and 1778 was filled with crucial events that played a crucial role in turning the tide of the war of independence and bearing the proceeding victory which had been heading on a downward spiral prior to these momentous victories. In April of 1775, the fire of the war was ignited by the opening gunshots initiated by the British in a chaotic dispute with the colonists of Lexington and Concord. War was inevitable and with the colonies in disarray, delegates from each colony called for a meeting of negotiation, wielding the Second Continental Congress. Collectively unready for the extreme challenges that awaited them, congress called for one last agreement of the Olive Branch Petition filling the likes of members both

In October, members of Bard Prison convicted of manslaughter faced off against students of Harvard University, an Ivy league school. Astonishingly, these prisoners defeated the college and proving that stereotypes are inaccurate. Similarly, certain types of inhabitants of the thirteen colonies faced discrimination, but were able to achieve greatness. By the time the revolution ended these colonists had each contributed towards the Continental Army. In fact, without the contributions of Women, African Americans and Europeans, America’s quest for independence in the Revolutionary War may not have been successful.

From 1763 to 1776 many battles occurred between the colonies and Great Britain. Colonist believed that Great Britain’s creation of laws such as the Stamp Act and Sugar Act were taking away their liberties and money. In response, the colonist rebelled to break away from Great Britain and become their own nation which today is know as the United States. Although the colonist growth in nationalism was a reason for the revolution, Britain's economic, political, and social policies on the 13 colonies influenced the colonist to rebel for their freedom which was also called the American Revolution.

The Revolutionary War had impacts on all of the states and colonies as well as England and the British. Although many things had to come in play before the war came to an end. Also all of these events impacted everything as whole, even the smallest skirmishes and battles. Things like economy changed as well as things in political or social standpoints. In the end of the war everyone was changed whether it was for better or for worse. In the state of North Carolina lots of changes were made to make it the way it is now. Without some battles, documents or even small things like rants or riots the war would not have ended or changed the way it did.

The Revolutionary War can be considered somewhat revolutionary for its political outcomes and for putting America on the path towards equality, yet due to discrimination against minorities, was not revolutionary in terms of societal changes. The Revolutionary War brought significant political changes to America. During the war, American “leaders” decided that they did not want to be under England’s rules anymore. Therefore, they decided to break off from the monarchy and form a new democracy. An example that America no longer wanted a part of England is in Document A. Document A shows American colonists tearing down a statue of their current king.

I think the American Revolution wasn’t really revolutionary. The Speech Made By a Young Free African-American in 1819, Valedictorian of his New York Free School informed people that a young African American boy with the highest academic achievements in his class was still not treated like an equal by the white people. This speech was declared after the Revolutionary War, which shows that the war did not cause the relationship between whites and blacks to become better. He wrote, “No one will employ me; white boys won’t work with me,” and this is an example of how the relation between the two races wasn’t influenced by the war. The document, “Utmost Good Faith” Clause from the Northwest Ordinance, 1787 did not support that the Revolutionary

The Revolution was considered one of the defining moments in American history because it declared independence with force and defied the authority of the time. A crucial question at the center of this historical upheaval is whether or not the American colonists had a right to rebel against Great Britain. The American colonists rebelled against Britain for a number of reasons, ultimately claiming their inalienable rights to independence and self-determination. A confluence of political, economic, and ideological circumstances that essentially weakened the rights, autonomy, and quest for self-determination of the American colonists rendered their decision to rebel against British rule in the late eighteenth century justifiable. She delineates

A motivating force behind the revolution was the American embrace of a political ideology called "republicanism", which was dominant in the colonies by 1775. The "country party" in Britain, whose critique of British government emphasized that corruption was to be feared, influenced American politicians. The commitment of most Americans to republican values and to their rights, helped bring about the American Revolution, as Britain was increasingly seen as hopelessly corrupt and hostile to American interests; it seemed to threaten to the established liberties that Americans enjoyed. The greatest threat to liberty was depicted as corruption. The colonists associated it with luxury and, especially, inherited aristocracy, which they condemned.
