The American Revolutionary War

I believe that the Revolutionary War was not actually as revolutionary as the name suggests because, although some of the documents suggest that major change was brought about after the war, the majority of the documents made me come to the conclusion that there were not as many results of the war as widely expected. A prime example is Document 6, where an African American valedictorian questions the possibilities of him getting a job among white people. He is a well-educated young adult, but with no jobs available to him, he must enter servitude. Another reason supporting my claim is the fact that in Document 8 it took more than 140 years for women to have the same voting rights as men (made a law in the 19th Amendment). The definition of

I think that the Revolutionary War was not revolutionary. The documents I will use are numbers 3, 5, and 6. Document 3 says that even after the war, the equality of people has only changed a little bit, that only rich and moderate people could participate in billiard for example. The moderate people could not play before, but poor people can’t even play now. Why can’t everyone participate? This means that the war didn’t change enough to be revolutionary. Document 5 says that only some states abolished slavery, but a lot did it after the Civil War. If the war would be revolutionary, there would not be another war, because those problems would be solved during that war, but sadly, it wasn’t. Document 6 says that no matter what job an African

Though it is arguable whether the Revolutionary War was completely revolutionary, I believe it was revolutionary because it changed many things in America, such as it giving the colonists a feeling of more unity and equality. An image of the colonists pulling down King George’s statue supports their feeling of unity, because it shows them combining their forces to go against him(Document 1). Their defiance needed lots of unity and strength, because at the time, Britain was the most powerful country in the world, yet the colonists still defeated it. The Declaration of Independence supports their feeling of equality because of its statement of all men being equal(Document 2). If this was included by the framers of the Declaration, as their second

The American Revolution was preceded in part by a series of British Parliament laws that regulated trade and taxes. Rumors from England that more taxes might follow encouraged some colonists to begin thinking about whether they really consented to taxes passed by a Parliament to which they elected no representatives. (1) This particular legislation of taxation caused tensions between colonists and local imperial officials, who readdressed the colonists concerns that the British Parliament would not address American complaints concerning the new laws. The unwillingness to respond to American demands for change by the British opened the doors to colonial argument that they were part of a corrupt and tyrannical empire in which their traditional liberties were at stake! This position eventually served as the foundation for the Declaration of Independence.

The American revolution war of the most important in America, even that some historians has argued about it and they said that “it's not revolutionary”, the revolution started in the year of 1775 and finished in the year 178, in the northwest territory, and it was between the 13 British colonies and their mother country, and the first impact of the revolution was a letter saying that all men should be equal” in document 2, and a lot of more important things, what the letter means was that all men are equal and they are born with the same right. And what I mean by saying this is that the revolution what revolution when it happened and after.

The Patriots were successful in their bid for Independence with the help of good leadership, adaptive strategy and good weapons. All three of these things led to America winning the Revolutionary War.

Was the American revolution revolutionary? the American revolutionary war was in fact evolutionary because of the changes that it spurred, things started changing, politically, with slavery, And for women's rights after the revolution  some people say that the american revolutionary war only lasted from April 19, 1775 – September 3, 1783 but if you take the time to look over the abundance of american revolutionary documents and analyze them all carefully you will realize that the revolutionary war was not revolutionary and in fact was more evolutionary above all.

The battle of Trenton and Princeton began to erupt in the same year of the Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War had started because the Americans wanted the same rights the as the British citizens had. The British refused to give Americans the same rights because they (British) didn’t think the Americans shouldn’t be represented as a part of the British Parliament, instead their (British) minds were more focused on building revenue. The British had ignored the Americans demands in which the British thought the Americans demands were a cause of outrage. There were so many different wars that had erupted during the Revolutionary War. The battle between Trenton

The war on Independence, known as the Revolutionary War, dramatically changed American life. Not only did it expand upon religious freedom, the rights to vote, and expand the number of legislative seats, to men of lesser property, but also it changed the daily lives of many colonists by fighting for natural rights, which were detained over the years. The Right of “Free Suffrage” addressed the idea that a man, whose personal liberty and rights are taken from him, is an enslaved man, even if society defines him as free. “Every member of this state, who lends his aid to the support of it, has an equal claim to all the privileges, liberties, and immunities with every [one] of his fellow countrymen; circumstances which are essential to the existence of a free state, and inseparable from the exercise and operation of a free people…No power in the state can legally diminish this equal right, either by reducing the number of those privileges to which the whole community is justly entitled, or by imparting to men, or particular societies of men, such degrees less free or more subservient to the purpose of others, than the equal right of freedom can allow. If these be not the innate rights and privileges of the people, they are not free. “ (“Voices of Freedom” 110) The passage continues to state that regardless of a mans wealth or position of power, he still has rights to his personal liberty and rights to his earnings and is in danger of being injured by the government. Therefore, to

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.

The British imperial officials ' assertion of control over the colonies began to escalate rapidly beginning in the late 1760s all the way up until the full escalation of the Revolutionary War in the spring of 1776. The regulations were set in place by parliament, and the king would later continue to place restraints on the people of the colonies. The standing army that was sent to Boston due to the unrest not only worried the general public, but also ratcheted up the animosity even more. After the Townshend duties were repealed, some colonists had a slight feeling relations could be improving, yet they were soon informed that the Tea Act would be maintained. If the Bostonians weren’t already outraged enough, this act sent them over the edge, so they did the same with the tea. A final attempt at controlling the colonies with diplomacy before the king declared the colonies to be in rebellion was the Coercive Acts. These “Intolerable” Acts were 4 acts directed towards Massachusetts to try and put them in line as well as send a message to the other colonies to fall in line. All of these decisions made by parliament were designed to quell the increasing unruliness of the colonies, however all they did was create more strife for the colonists to rally against.

The American Revolution was undeniably the most pivotal time period in respect to United States History, but who was really to blame for initiating the conflict? While both the British politicians and American colonists shared the blame for the kindling of the revolution, one party was certainly more at fault than the other: the British. Through short-term causes of taxation and incommodious trade acts, and long-term causes of salutary neglect and involvement in the burdensome French & Indian War, the British politicians proved to ultimately be the most responsible for igniting the Revolutionary War.

In American history everyone believes that the American Revolution would begin in 1775. But many would argue that the American Revolution had started even earlier than that. As the American Revolution would not spring up overnight, but throughout a series of events that would build tension caused by different views on government, and conflicting interests between the British and their colonies on the western hemisphere.

The American Revolutionary War was a long hard fought war that lasted about 8 years. Many Countries were involved in the war, such as The United States, France, Great Britain, Spain, and The Dutch Republic. Not all countries actually fought but they provided either side with weapons and supplies to help them have a greater chance of winning the war. More than 70,000 people were killed during the great American Revolutionary War. The Americans were tired of the loyalist British taking advantage of them. They were tired of the new taxes that kept being created by the British. The Americans were tired of being pushed around, so they decided to do something about it. High Tensions eventually got between the two countries and they began to start a war, which was known as The American Revolutionary War. Before the war began, a great man implied, “One of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedoms of one’s house, a man’s house is his castle”, informing everyone that the colonies should be freed from British control (Otis). The American Revolutionary war was a war started, so the 13 colonies of America could gain there independence from Great Britain. Thousands of soldiers were killed while many others were severely wounded. The American Revolutionary war was one of the greatest wars in American history, because it had many great battles, was led by some of the greatest leaders, and got the 13 colonies independence from Great Britain.

“The Civil War may also be termed as the second American Revolution in terms of the political, social and economic changes that occurred during the war”
