The American Revolution : The Revolutionary War And The Original Constitution

Historians have often debated the true definition of American Revolution, whether the Revolution was a conservative movement led to maintain the power of those at the top of the hierarchy or a radical movement that set a process of transformation of society and brought a new type of democracy to the colonies. Professors Wood and Nash clarify the true purpose of the movement and its outcome in their writing’s. Professor Wood explains to readers that the American Revolution was a radical movement that transformed society and state in the colonies, while Nash sees the revolution as a conservative movement of alarmed white male leaders whom sought to contain the revolution. The American Revolution was a radical movement that brought a transformation

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 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.

Was the American Revolution revolutionary, or was it just an ordinary set of ideas and effects of the circumstances that occurred? Even though it may’ve seemed like a great feat declaring independence from the greatest superpower in the world at the time, but that is about the only thing behind the argument of the revolution being revolutionary. While on the contrary, ideas that arose in “effect” of the revolution could quickly be debunked. In this essay, I will explain how the American Revolution wasn’t revolutionary because of three reasons- women’s suffrage, the poor/slaves being treated unfairly, and no large political/ social revolution/ change.

Decades following the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence, America continued to face challenges in their young country. Tensions with the British, as well as Native Americans, led to more struggles for America. The British failed to recognize the United States of America as a separate and free country, and by enlisting the help of frustrated Native Americans they continued to be a sore within America. They believed they had rights to some parts of land in western Florida, they joined forces with Native Americans when Americans decide to move westward, and worst of all they continued to impress Americans onto British ships because of problems with trade.

The Revolution had earth shattering outcomes. It basically made the United States. It changed a monarchical society, in which the settlers were subjects of the Crown, into a republic, in which they were natives and members in the political procedure. The Revolution likewise gave another political essentialness to the mediocre components of society - artisans, shippers, agriculturists, and dealers - and made it inconceivable for leaders to plainly criticize standard individuals.

Imagine one day after a long day off work in the fields, you go to your local pub or watering hole and you ask for your favorite brand of whiskey on the rocks. Then bam, there’s a tax on it. Not much, but not only do you have not just pay the 2 cents for your whiskey but you’re paying an extra penny for your favorite drink to the government. You thought your Government was getting rid of taxes forever but no, you have to pay for the cost of your freedom, because freedom is never free.

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 American Revolution was a massive change that occurred between the years 1765 and 1783. During this time, thirteen American colonies formed an independent country after they broke from the British Empire. The nation was then called the United States of America. The revolution resulted from a series of political and social transformations in the American society. It all started in 1765 where Americans rejected taxation without elected representation. Protests stirred up in 1773 and Britain imposed severe laws in 1774. The patriots then suppressed the loyalists and repelled all royal administration. Each colony got a new government and Britain sent troops to re-establish control in response. This led to the American revolutionary war where patriots fought against the British. These events made several thinkers discuss different concepts about the nature of man and government. These concepts influenced rebelling colonists in different ways. This essay seeks to look into the role of these ideas in American Revolution.

Throughout American history, there have been countless monumental events. Learning about the past is a great way to understand where you came from, what happened to make the world how it is today, and to feel connected to your country and your roots.

The United States of America has gone through a series of unimaginable events and drastic occurrences to become the powerful nation it is today. Many of these events have shaped the United States, and I think a key factor in how the United States works today resulted from the American Revolution. The American Revolution did not just affect North America, but also the world when it brought a strong superpower into the image. Although such an important event had to have its limits, the results from the American Revolution destroyed them, creating a government and system in which we still use today. Such a significant event in our country’s history should not only be

The American Revolution, a political upheaval that took place between 1763 and 1775 during which the rebels in the original thirteen American colonies overthrew the authority of the British Crown and founded what we are today, The United States of America. The following events that occurred between 1763 and 1775 were the final events that led to conflict between The American colonies and Great Britain which ultimately lead to America’s independence. Proclamation of 1763, an order from King George III prohibiting all settlement west of the Appalachian mountains. Through miscommunication the relationship between the colonies and Britain became rough as the colonist believed that this boundary was solely enforced to make regulation and control easy for Britain, where the colonist wanted to expand westward. The Sugar Act of 1764, the first attempt by the British government to try to finance the defence of the colonies by placing a tax on sugar and molasses imported into the colonies. The Stamp Act of 1765, a stamp tax that was placed on all legal papers, newspapers, pamphlets, and on any piece of printed paper that was used. This tax however, was later repealed due to the colonists boycotts due to the belief that they were being taxed for extra income and no other beneficial reason. The Quartering Act of 1765, stating that all basic needs that British soldiers stationed in the colonies needed

On July 4, 1776, America was only conceived. On September 3, 1738, America was born as the world’s freest nation. The American Revolution defined how powerful a country and its people can be with unity and a common purpose. Throughout history, men like Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, looked back upon the Revolution to capture the significance of the United States and its values. Freedom, constitutionalism and equality were the building block characteristics that the patriots were driven by. Brown University professor, Dr. Gordon S. Wood’s “The American Revolution”, shows exactly how important and groundbreaking the Revolution was. He captures the essence of the colonist attitude and discontent with the corrupt tyranny in England, explains

Hello Mom I know I haven’t sent you a letter in the past but I figured now was better then ever. I am finishing up a my semester in my religion class and there is a lot I want to share with you. Between the American Revolution in 1776 and the Civil War in 1840 a lot changed in American religion. There are three major religious movements during that time period I would love to tell you about, they are, the birth Shakers and the Pleasant Hill Community, the birth of Mormons with Joseph Smith, and the story of “How the American Revolution Agreed to Differ over Religion”. I hope you find these topics as important and interesting as I do.

What also happened during this time period was the fight for freedom and power. Government control of land was something that was thrown across the nation which ended up ruining the union of the states. However, during the American Revolution, it became more stable and land ownership was given at an equal rate. The document I states that pre-revolution the moderate class had a lower percentage but after it increased, so the power shifted to the moderate class instead of the wealthy class. This is important because now there would be more middle-status leaders which will lead to more unity. In Document B, it’s talking about the Declaration of Independence which had the rights that all men had life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Also
