American Revolution Reflection

There was not much talk of the american revolution in the book so i thought it would be nice to talk about it and dive in a bit deeper giving a more comprehensive look at the revolution. I am a history major with a specialty in american history and this is definitely where I feel like I could contribute the most as my love for history has brought me many places and of those places I have been to, United States history has been what I have been most intrigued by. Mainly the amount of culture that is in the united states along with the origin of where it came from and how it got here. The concept of culture is incredible as in finding a common theme that enough people seem to agree with and creating an ecosystem based around how people are affected
The colonists decided to then make a move and this is when the revolutionary war started, At the battle of lexington and concord. I will simply discuss the most major of the revolutionary battles because, well simply put there we're alot of them and all of them played small parts in the big scheme of things. The first of these being , as previously stated, lexington and concord and following lexington and concord was the battle of Fort ticonderoga where benedict arnold and ethan allen led the american troops to take over a british camp whilst in the night and the american men captured the camp and its inhabitants. At the same time this is happening there is a second continental congress meeting being held in philadelphia. Following these events there was a major battle at bunker hill in which the americans and britain fought for control over bunker hill , the british one this fight and it was huge to have control over such a great militant standing.

Paine used very simple words that everyone could read and he made it easily accessible to anyone and everyone. By doing this paine helped the nation
was independent a number of things changed, the concept of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness came into play. The emancipation of black slaves and the impact that it would have on abe lincoln would be great , it would inspire him to make the emancipation proclamation which would later free all slaves . Now all men we're stated that they we're created equal, today we can see the effects of the first sentence written in the Preamble: We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.”? Throughout history we have seen so many different changes, from freedom of slaves, to equality among men and women. Today more so than in the past, women have been given every opportunity that men are now given and are truly equal among men. The bill of rights would now have an even greater effect, The right to bear arms the freedom of speech and religion , right to a jury, these we're all huge things that have helped shaped the US and the stigma behind it. The bill of rights are the reason that the US has the stigma of the greatest country and the american dream is alive today. The Declaration of Independence has also left lasting effects upon other foreign nations, including the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, and the Declaration of Independence for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Just by very definition it was the US putting its foot down for itself and saying that “ we will no longer be taken advantage of and we will
