The Revolutionary War Of Independence

The American Revolution was an important sequence of events over a period of time that has affected early American society up to today’s modern society. It all started with the Revolutionary War, which led to the Declaration of Independence from Britain, and in turn created a reason for America to write the Constitution and develop their own government. Ideas of equality became a major point of the Revolution, and although it wasn’t very quick to happen, ideas eventually spread throughout the colonies, giving the equality that poor to middle classes, African American slaves, and women deserved.

The American Revolution changed the American society politically in many ways such as drifting away from the Tories and tyranny (Doc. B). Also, the Native Americans were feeling left out. The American Revolution was when the Americans finally gained their independence from Great Britain and the Native Americans felt left out of the independence that the Indians thought was deserved for the Indians (Doc. E).

Many radical changes occurred with the American Revolution such as making the anti-slavery and women’s rights movements of the nineteenth century possible. It “changed the personal and social relationships of people, including the position of women, but also destroyed aristocracy as it had been understood in the Western world for at least two millennia.” (Wood 8).The people had to work together with each other, even the women and children, for the war. They all wanted the freedom from Britain, and unified for a victory. After, they felt freer and more equal and that

The American Revolutionary war started the change and founding of a new country. From gaining our freedom from Britain, America was a developing country with a new type of government and laws. From documents showing different depictions of society post of the war, it gives the reader a view on all aspects of what was happening in America. From slavery to the government these documents show each part of society in different ways and showing how we progressed in revolutionizing America. The reason for America making all these differences after the war was not an easy feat and that came from the citizens wanting freedom and change.

The Revolutionary War can be considered somewhat revolutionary for its political outcomes and for putting America on the path towards equality, yet due to discrimination against minorities, was not revolutionary in terms of societal changes. The Revolutionary War brought significant political changes to America. During the war, American “leaders” decided that they did not want to be under England’s rules anymore. Therefore, they decided to break off from the monarchy and form a new democracy. An example that America no longer wanted a part of England is in Document A. Document A shows American colonists tearing down a statue of their current king.

Many Americans in this day and age recognize that the Revolutionary War was a crucial point in their history. But the question still stands. Did this war truly shift America as a whole? To an extent, the Revolutionary War did shift America and the lifestyle of many but only in favor to the white male. The Revolutionary War is not as revolutionary as one would think because it did not change or improve the lives of minorities such as African Americans, Native Americans, and women until centuries later.

The American Revolution was a conflict that caused profound change in the world. Not only did it change America’s relationship with Britain, The American Revolution changed the way the Americans ran their government and economy. However, some of the biggest change that the American Revolution brought was societal change. The American Revolution affected minorities in ways that past conflicts never had before, and changed certain aspects of American society for life. While they may not be among the first groups one thinks of when talking about minorities, the Loyalists were a small but firm minority in the colonies.

The American Revolutionary Era was one of the most important periods in American history. This period marked the first time were the newly found Americas would successfully colonized. This Era brought change that defied the current framework of society, promoted a sense of equality, and formed a new economic structure. However, the extent at which the Revolutionary Era can be called “truly revolutionary” is debatable. If we look at the effects the Revolutionary Era had on society, including African slaves, women, and the Indigenous Peoples, it could be characterized as (oxymoronically) un-revolutionary in the sense that pre-Revolutionary Era ideologies continued on into the Revolutionary Era.

Naming the war “the American Revolution” was the start of the major impact the African Americans were making. American divided the black society into two different classes, free or enslaved. Most free blacks worked in areas where they did construction jobs, metal working and different kind of trades. Enslaved blacks served in the war as soldiers alongside white soldiers.

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 revolutionary war had revolutionary changes that affected the United States. The revolutionary war was a war against the 13 colonies and England. The war took place between 1775-1783, which was won by the 13 colonies. They named themselves the United States of America. The revolutionary war caused the breakdown between the United States and England. Which lead to break away from the England government and make their government system. The revolutionary war had the different point of views how revolutionary it was. Some historians think that the Revolutionary War was conservative which did not lead to any change because it used some same laws and rights just like gender and race equality. The second historian's perspective was that the war

History remembers The American Revolution as the war that freed America from the control of Great Britain. This was an important turn of events during that time because the British empire was considered one of the strongest empires. In addition, Great Britain colonized America. So for a new nation as small as they were to defeat one of the strongest empires shocked the world. The American Revolution was revolutionary for the colonists because it gave them freedom. The effect of the war was revolutionary to major groups as well. One group that it was revolutionary for were women. Women played a huge role from the start of colonization to even after the war was won. The war not only freed the colonists from the tyranny of Britain, but it

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a time of great change in America. American men were fighting for their right to be free from an oppressive ruler 3000 miles away. They wanted to have their say about what went on in their own country. America won the Revolution and its freedom, but while this was going on something else was happening. Internally changes were coming about too during all this fighting. The Revolution was the catalyst for women to make progress towards freedom. Women were making economic and political gains to further women's rights.

The American Revolution marked significant changes in the political, social, and economic status of the Americans. For a long, time the lives of the Americans were darkened by the British colonial rule. The British government passed several intolerable Acts. For instance, the Massachusetts Government Act was a restriction to town meetings. As a result, the American opponents began collective actions to disapprove the colonial rule. After a long struggle, the Americans overthrew the existing rule. However, the new dawn did not provide freedom to all citizens. The slaves were compelled to continue supplying forced labor to the Whites. The resultant effect of oppression pushed the slaves to start fighting for the equality. In this case, it is evident that the Civil War was a direct consequence of the American Revolution.[1]

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The American Revolution is considered one of the greatest and most memorable eras in United States history. Colonist were under the rule of the British which eventually created a problem for them. They came to the realization that being under Great Britain was preventing them from exercising their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and in 1776 they wrote their break up letter to Great Britain, The Deceleration of Independence. In the year 1776 the American Revolution had been born and history had hit another turning point. The impact of the American Revolution and slavery would change the United States both for the good and the bad. The major change in the ideology of liberty and freedom among the states and the classification of blacks both enslaved and free were two of the largest impacts of the American Revolution and slavery.
