Revolutionary War: The Impacts Of The American Revolution

When the thirteen colonies were created, the colonies depended greatly on England in order to survive and make something out of this new land. England not only helped them economically but also in time of war against the French during The French and Indian War. It meant that England had to spend extra money helping out the colonies and also with any necessary equipment required to fight in the war. Back home, England had been fighting a war for around 100 years already, so helping out the colonies just added more to their expenses. England wanted to earn some of the money they had wasted, so England decided to raise and put new taxes on the colonies. The colonials thought some of these taxes were outrageous and began getting furious at England. This was one reason for the tension that grew between the colonies and England. Other reasons like the Boston Massacre, in which British soldiers shot and killed 5 colonials, and the Intolerable Acts, led to more anger and tension between these two. All this things eventually led to the colonies declaring war on England. I believe the most significant cause to why the colonies declared war on England was because of the

In 1776, the American people declared themselves an independent nation. The American people were traumatized by the Revolution and feared a strong central government. This led to their first attempt at a government, the Articles of Confederation, which ultimately failed. After this let down of a government, the founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, which would become the law of the American land. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were two influential individuals, who were originally involved in the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Both were involved in the political side of the Revolutionary war, but when speaking of it, told alternate versions of the war. As they approached the end of their lives, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams dedicated themselves to telling extremely differentiating versions of the Revolutionary War; Jefferson focusing on the glory and Adams focusing on the hardships, while Jefferson’s version is the only one recorded in the textbooks students use today.

The aftereffects of the American Revolution were different for various groups of people depending one who they were. Slaves were hugely impacted by the war since it brought about the end of slavery for those in the north (Schultz, 2013). Cornwall promised to free his own slaves after the war and many others ran away from their owners so that they could live free. Virginia and Maryland were two states that created laws that allowed the owners to free their slaves without being pressured to do so; around 1880 the number of free African Americans was one out of ten. This change in views on slavery also made some legal changes when it came to slavery as well and slaves in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Five other states allowed African Americans

In battling the British in the Revolutionary War, the American rebels did just as the great French military and political leader, Napoleon Bonaparte advised, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”. Though there were a great deal of missed opportunities and misguided actions taken by both sides of this war, none were as great as those by the ministers in London and British Generals Howe and Burgoyne. However, of these three, one held a great deal of responsibility for Britain’s failure to suppress the American rebels by 1777. This person was indeed, General Howe.

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.

Cause and effect. Cause and effect. The way of life is simply cause and effect. Domino reactions determine the outcome of the following event. It is safe to say, if England would have defeated the French and Indians during the French and Indian War (7 Years War), England would have won the American Revolutionary War. Although for this win, there would be a cost of strategy, a need for alliance, and a sense of unity.

With the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, the revolutionary war was over, and the United States began the arduous task of rebuilding an economy held back by colonialism and destroyed by war. From the 1780s up until the 1810s, the economy was slowly growing and diversifying, the War of 1812 halted much of those advanced. The war ruined the United States economy once again, but it allowed it to grow and develop to new heights and become stronger than before the war.

The purpose was to address congress on why we needed to go to war with Britain.

The American Revolution was an important turning point in that process as it marked the beginning of the end slavery in the northern states and, by contrast, its intensification in most of the southern states. When I think about how the Revolutionary War affected enslaved African Americans it was quite interesting. After reading the testimony of one the ex slave right around the the time of the Revolutionary War still seemed harsh. Samuel Elliot was born into slavery and was a farmer. When many of the younger guys started leaving, well to put it better starting running away to join the Union Army the masters were not happy about it. So once Samuel master heard of the details of his son along with eleven others running away he confronted him. In return, Samuel lied about knowing any details of the what was going on. Samuel stated he had to lie to prevent himself from getting killed. He was threatened constantly which made life hard for him. Then alone with the rebels stealing his turkeys and not paying for them. After the war and slaves were many of their properties, farm animals, and wagons were taken from them. This was not over a timespan, but all in one day. What was not taken off with them when they left was snatched up. When he asked Massa, are you going to take everything and leave me nothing to live on? His reply was that he had to considering they were free and that his family was needing to eat. Then suggested he go to Uncle Sam. They took the food off the table, to

There was events that lead up to and caused the American Revolution and in their right are just as significant as the war itself in todays society. The American Revolution was caused by many factors but imop the politics is where it went haywire. A lot of the transitions into the war were because of all the Acts that get passed. I believe this aspect strongly encouraged the most tension to start the American Revolution. Around 1745 there was another war that took place called the French and Indian war. The English got into a lot of debt (because war is expensive just ask the bush administration) lol. Then to compensate for their debt they caused they decided to do a little amerian sneak attack called TAXES. Raised the taxes having the citizens repay the government for the actions they took. A lot of the colonist around this time started to change their mind of their ruler. A group of delegates called the First Continental Congress got twelve out of the thirteen colonies to meet towards the end of 1774 in Philadelphia, formed in hope of stopping the taxes from Britain. During this era the colonist started calling themselves Americans. Right before the American Revolution the Americans, separated themselves away from the British and their King, King George III tried get the colonies to stay and join but they wanted to be separate from state. After a while the Americans began to “take care” of themselves and Britain didn’t like that which soon led the start of the American

Many people are aware of the different aspects of the American Revolution and the war of Independence, especially consisting of the people directly involved within the Americas. Of course the people of the colonies were involved because they were the main participant in the war and the British were involved because that is who the colonies were fighting to gain independence from. The Indians were involved in a minor way, mainly on the British side. The African Americans also played a part in helping the Americans. The French also played a role among the side of the Americans. As these many different types of people participated in the revolution directly there was also a ripple effect of events that followed the American war for independence. One part of the American Revolution that is not discussed quite as much is this sequence of events that occurred after the war. The events and the partaking’s of the war for independence, along with the reasons behind the war and the outcome, spurred other places to take similar action, specifically in the Atlantic World.

The events that led up to the American Revolution war were not big events but a series of small events when compounded together each created the catalyst to launch the colonists into revolt. The first of the events to create the spiral effect was the seven year war or the French and Indian War. That war was fought by British soldiers on several different continents. The biggest location was fought in the British colonies of North America. The British government wanted to expand their territory. They wanted to continue to grow the colonies from the original thirteen by conquering more land further west. The British government felt as if they were fighting this war against the Indians and the French to expand the land specifically for the

The revolutionary war had revolutionary changes that affected the United States. The revolutionary war was a war against the 13 colonies and England. The war took place between 1775-1783, which was won by the 13 colonies. They named themselves the United States of America. The revolutionary war caused the breakdown between the United States and England. Which lead to break away from the England government and make their government system. The revolutionary war had the different point of views how revolutionary it was. Some historians think that the Revolutionary War was conservative which did not lead to any change because it used some same laws and rights just like gender and race equality. The second historian's perspective was that the war

How the Revolution Altered American Society The American revolutionary war resulted in a change of the structure of government in The United states of America and little else, affecting daily life of common people to a small extent. In the year 1770, the metaphorical teapot of revolution was at a boil. The upper crust of American society were experimenting with the idea of a new government oriented on enlightenment philosophy. By 1790, there was a new independent America, complete with an organized constitution and a president that white men with property voted to elect.

The American Revolution also known as the American Revolutionary war was a time when the 13 colonies fought for their independence from the british. The tension between the two had gotten to its peak and that's when “the shot heard around the world began. There are a variety of factors that led to the American Revolution but the most influential causes were the taxation among the colonies, the great awakening, and the enlightenment. Eventually the colonies started to get furious and started to question the british, and started to want their independence to the point where war was necessary. Which all to the american revolution, ending in a victory and the US claiming
