During the American Revolution, not only did men have to face the struggles of war time atmosphere, but women had to as well. The country during the war was divided into three different groups of people; the loyalists, the patriots and the remaining people who did not care.

Women generally did not fight in the revolution, and the traditional status of Eighteenth Century women meant that they were not publicly able to participate fully in the debates over the revolution.

The novel, Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson, is about a young slave named Isabel set during the American Revolution. The American Revolution was a fight between the Patriots and Loyalists for freedom.

Although it seemed like only the two sides fighting there were others who were also fighting for freedom, slaves, but they fought in a different way. During this time it was very difficult for one person to be able to have the freedom that they either wanted for themselves or for the group they were fighting with. Each of these groups had their own very different ideas of freedom and liberty.

These acts supplanted Sarah Benjamin's case because applicants no longer required disability or monetary

The word revolutionary means involving or causing a complete or dramatic change. The word revolutionary can be used to mean different types of changes depending on the time an event was taking place or how drastic things got compared to the ordinary daily life. An event in history that occurred that made the United States its own country was the Revolutionary War which was fought against the British. There were many different events that lead the colonies to finally want to break away from the British monarchy and it drastically changed the way of life for the colonies. The Revolutionary War was revolutionary because it led the colonies to establish a new form of ruling through government and mentally changed the way the colonials thought about certain things that they did not know they were capable to accomplish or obtain.
