Revolutionary War Vs American War Of Independence

history focuses on the conquest of new land through westward expansion and global imperialism. Starting with the roots of frontier and building up into a huge network of land and territory evokes a common and national goal among the American people during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Frontier and expansion of the great west allowed for the United States to gain power and work its way up to bigger and better: the world. With so much land to acquire and such a desire to conquer, the United States was able to build its coveted empire, but only with a certain cost. The damages and death brought about by westward expansion and imperialism greatly outweigh the benefits. The United States grew rapidly and was able to spread its culture like wildfire but the territories and nations that were to be civilized were damaged victims. Culture was destroyed and the United States’ reputation was tarnished during this time period. Growing discontent in the county continued to escalate throughout the twentieth century and our country wasn’t united and failed to share a national

America was built from immigrants from a government that they did not feel was right for them. The settlers continued to create their new lives. The settlers got fed up with Great Britain and decided to fight for freedom from the larger, more powerful country. America fought against the imperialistic Great Britain all they way in the 17 and 18 hundreds. William G.

The history and foundation of America was forged through the blood, sweat, and the tenacity of the colonists in the mid- 1700s. During this time of new hope and perspective, the colonists felt stifled by Britain’s tight hold on their country. They insisted on independence for their colonies and were enraged by their original land’s refusal to acknowledge their rights. Britain ignores the colonists’ natural rights and took advantage of America’s reliance on their finances and support. Britain’s government terrorized the colonists by denying their natural rights and abusing their power, leading to revolutions that would further shape the history of America.

Life in the North American colonies was great at one point. At first we liked having protection and assistance from the British. After a while, we Patriots yearned for more freedom. The British had too many rules and controlled a lot of aspects of our lives, including the trading of goods. To add, even though we were across the pond, they were telling us where to live. Us Patriots were forced to provide housing to the British soldiers. Although we appreciated the help, we did not want them taking over our new found land.

Dawning like the sun on a new day, the United Sates of America has risen to become the most powerful nation on Earth. The United States of today is a land of freedom and inspiration, and a place where dreams have a real possibility of coming true. Though the United States may be very strong today, it wasn’t always like this. In the years leading up to the formation of the United States, many of what are considered “natural rights” were not established, and the nation was in chaos trying to fight for these rights from the overruling British empire led by King George III. Several things led to the formation and firm establishment of the United States, the three most prominent being the imposition of taxation acts, acts of rebellion

The United States is one of the strongest nations in the world. We, as a nation, have learned a lot from other nations. For example, in the 1760’s we learned a lot of what not to do from Britain. America came to be because of citizens, who were known as patriots, that were unhappy with the British government. America gained their independence because of unfair laws passed by the British, such as, the Intolerable Acts, Stamp Act, Townshend Act; and violent acts such as the Boston Massacre.

After the Revolutionary War that was from 1776 to 1783, Great Britain's thirteen colonies began a period of unfortunate circumstances. They were finally free from the “motherland’ and the Founding Fathers of the United States were facing the challenges of of a small populated land with low resources and an unstable core. At the time it was unclear for the colonies to see how they would create New World order, most of the leaders agreed on a single thought- they needed a balance of power in their new government. In the time the writing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Spanish-American War in 1898 had been happening, the nation has rejected all of the balance it had agreed on. It focused on its objectives and growth as a new government. At the end of the 19th century the country had a turning point with foreign relations, which had gradually gained strength on the international stage. Europe began to accept the “balance of power” politics, the United States spent their first century as a country they slowly began to develop themselves as a global strength.

Ever since the Louisiana Purchase, American citizens have been inching their way westward for settlement. They made homes on land that was not theirs in the first place, which angered many people, such as the Mexicans and the Native Americans. ("The History Guy: The U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848).". Nevertheless, these actions did not benefit the U.S. for having a good relationship with these

The English Colonies was a hard place to live in with the Sugar Act, the Stamp act, and the monarchy trying to rule our every move . England was trying to pay for all their previous debts in other wars and took it out on the colonist. The English Colonies decided to revolt against England and won their independence, this war was known as the American Revolution. The United States was starting to look like a place where people would want to live, because there was no monarchy and a government that all white men can vote on. After the United States established independence the government ruled under the Articles of Confederation, and this was better than being ruled by England but was not what everyone thought it would be. Then after work and thought by the country leaders we now live under the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. There have been had rough times for the people of the United States and still is more to come.

There are many important events/wars that took place in North America, but the war that really caught my eye was the Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War was an major event that helped us as Americans gain the freedom and independence we have today. The Revolutionary War also helped sparked the Declaration of Independence.

In the beginning, America consisted of 13 colonies that were owned by the British.  After we had won our independence in 1776, we had bigger aspirations than just the 13 colonies.  The goal was to make America span from coast to coast, spreading democracy, capitalism, and American ideals across the now country.  This was rooted in the belief of Manifest Destiny.  This was the belief that America should span from coast to coast because we were the best.  Our first major land deal to further this goal was the Louisiana Purchase.  In exchange for 15 million dollars, (or about 233 million adjusted for inflation), America would receive a large portion of the Americas from France.  This purchase includes land from modern day states such as Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, North and South Dakota, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Northern Texas,

During 1803-1812, The United States and other colonist such as France and Spain had been much ambition over land. Which then reflected issues on slavery, Money, colonization urbanization, war, power and Patriotism. Much of the greater issues came from the conflicts and debates and ratifications of citizenship. Because of the Revolutionary War many immigrants were arriving from the war to the United States where they would go through a processes to become US citizens.

The Age of Enlightenment served as the concrete base for America. It also served the same purpose in France. The desire for a “utopia” was what each nation wanted, as any country would. The Enlightenment promoted the individual or the idea of humanism. Humanism, which spread across Europe after the creation of the printing press, was a philosophy that no longer focused on theism but human needs. Man was no longer depending on the church for thoughts to make decisions. The idea of fearing their God and church was no longer seen as necessary. People were trying to come up with solutions through their own rational thought uninfluenced by anyone else, but themselves. Both France and the American colonies were becoming secular, though France

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.

American history is filled with ups and downs. Starting out with only 13 colonies, America forcibly removed themselves from the one of the strongest empires in the world. Battling against political reform, the subtraction of resources from the motherland, the debt accrued by colonists, and the bank wars, America struggles to create a self-sustaining country.
