The Revolutionary Revolution, By John Adams

One of the major causes for emigration from England to North America was religious persecution. Religious tolerance in Britain for other Christian sects besides the Anglican church was virtually nonexistent, resulting in many members of other sects to seek religious haven in the colonies. The vast majority of immigrants coming to New England were followers of

The American Revolution was a war of independence between 1775 and 1783 caused by a myriad of political, economic, social and religious disputes between British and American colonies. Political representation for colonists was put into question when economic factors such as taxes came into play. A major factor that drove reform during the American Revolution was the freedom of religion. People were being limited in their participation, were forced to pay taxes on the official church and had to obey church laws. Colonists began to fight against these restrictions and eventually gained rights for people of different religion and as a result of the American Revolution, religious minorities experienced benefits such as the liberty of religion

The American Revolution had a very intense fundamental change on American society between the years 1775 to 1800. The thirst for independence resulted in the revolution which caused many political, social, and economic changes. When the revolution began, the people were drowning in jingoism, and after the seven years of fighting for our independence, several changes had to be made. Although some political, social, and economic parts of society seem to have remained the same, America experienced drastic fundamental changes throughout these years and set the standards for even more changes to come.

In the exciting novel, “1776” by David McCullough, McCullough puts faces and emotions to the commemorated events of the Revolutionary war, which makes this novel overpowering even when the outcome is already known. I choose this extraordinary book, due to the fact of how McCullough writes about the significant events, how he introduces many characters that at first overwhelming but he makes sure you remember them due to that they are very significant throughout the whole story and how McCullough manifests the events of the war. With McCullough’s previous work called, “John Adams”, this book acts as a counterpart to his work as to how this book has a rigid military view compared to a political view.

The church and Christian beliefs had a very large impact on the Puritan religion and lifestyle. According to discovery education, “Church was the cornerstone of the mainly Puritan society of the 17th century.” Puritan laws were intensively rigid and people in society were expected to follow a moral strict code. And because of Puritans and their strict moral codes, any act that was

Connecticut, Plymouth, Rhode Island, Massachusetts Bay Colony, and New Haven all made up the region that was New England. It laid just north of the colony of Chesapeake. The New Englanders wanted and longed for religious freedom. They were known as Puritan Separatists, they wanted complete separation from the Church of England. Protestantism was an evolution that thrived in England once the Church separated from Catholicism. These people wanted to turn toward Calvinism, because of this they began to be called “Separatists”. They were not alone in this, joined with them where

In the seventeenth century, religious persecution ran rampant throughout Europe. In attempt to escape the oppression, many fled to less critical countries and territories. One of the popular refuges was colonial America. Settling in the north, these religious refugees made up a majority in the New England population, endeavoring to use it to form their Ideal society. They could use the new land to implement a new civilization reflective of their beliefs.

The topic of revolution is extremely subjective. What may appear as an insurrection to some might not be as extreme to others. When talking about the American Revolutionary War, however, the answer is clear. While the War certainly brought about change within the United States, it wasn’t necessarily very revolutionary. The most important aspects of the colonies, such as ideas about government, various types of societal equality, slavery and freed blacks, and the rights of women remained for the most part, unaffected.

The american revolution was not revolutionary. The impact of the war was not the cause of change for some of the categories, but was further down the line during other times. the revolution was not revolutionary because it inflicted moderate change in the political and social categories and inflicted no change in the aspects of Slavery

The American Revolutionary War occurred during 1775 to 1781 years, which was an army conflict between the Great Britain and the thirteen united states of America. John Adams said “The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.” From his view, he thought that because of the designer of independence, freedom, and equality that Americans wanted, states decided to become a unit and start the American Revolutionary War. Therefore, events such as the Albany Plan of Union, Sons of Liberty, Nonimportation Agreements, and Boston Massacre presented Americans’ minds changed before the American Revolutionary War.

The Puritans came to America in hopes of finding a religious haven. They were trying to separate from the thought to be corrupt Church of England in the seventeenth century. Although the Puritans agreed with some of the that views the Church of England had, most were too liberal for the them and they needed to start a more conservative church. The best place to start was a blank slate, the New World. Developing a new colony was a challenge for the Puritans, but they persevered in their endeavors.

The first category impacted by the American Revolution were the Americans’ political beliefs. From Document 1, a picture documenting the derailment of a statue of King George, it’s scintillating that instead of worshiping a tyrant, the colonists plan to be equals showing drastic political change. (Andre Basset's La Destruction de la Statue Royale a Nouvelle Yorck Engraving) In the engraving, a group of colonists are taking down a crumbling statue of King George. At the time, the every government for every

England's unsteady economy and price increases led to much poverty, which made the puritans think about expansion and business-making. However, religious conflicts were the main factor contributing to their migration to New England, since they had a state of religious chaos with no religion to unite its citizens. Also, they felt that everybody was opposing them and had mutual hatred. People saw that moving to the American Colonies was an immense chance to make money.

For the Puritans in the early New England colonies life was by no means easy, but there was the possibility to expand their beliefs free from the persecution from Church of England. They had the opportunity to create their ideal society under God with the bible as their law from which they would define how to live. The Puritans set out to create their model society which could spread and cull the impurities from the church. But how did these beliefs and goals ultimately effect their society?

It is tempting, and often comforting, to think that humans control their fates. The decisions that people make in their daily lives can affect many things. On the other hand, people cannot control every aspect of their environments. The weather has, in fact, affected world history in important ways that are still felt today.
