How Revolutionary Was The American Revolution

The revolution was revolutionary it made many changes for the better, also changed the way the United States did things. It transformed the way we worked, socialized, and how our Government came to be. With the many things I found on how the revolution was revolutionary my main point is that, it changed the way the United States in an economical way. One of the people who made that happen was Eli Whitney, he invented the cotton gin. It made removing the seeds from the cotton a whole lot easier, also made production a lot quicker than having someone removing by hand. Not only was the cotton gin invented, but many other machines came along. According to the text book America a Concise History not only was the United States was successfully doing well with the production of cotton. But America was ranked third in manufacturing wheat as well. Also another thing in the text between the years of 1790, and 1860 manufactures would plan to make work routines for workers. And build more factories; also build more factories that could make more natural resources. The things that were
once known as luxury product were becoming everyday productions people. That everyone could not get ahold of. Another way it changed was in a social way, especially with religion, and what people believed in.
After the revolutionary war people were able to do what they wanted. And make their own decisions for themselves, and their families. Without having the Government, or someone telling them how they should live their lives. Some people did not want anything thing to do with religion, this was known as the “Godless Century”. Education was another thing that made change from the Great Awakening from the eighteenth century. New state churches, and schools were being built as well. Citizens were also given human rights, in which they got a fair speedy trail just like every upper class got. And for once women and, slaves weren’t consider as second class anymore. Even the women were finally able to identify with themselves, and they were able to get involved with social movements (Concise History
334). Finally the Revolution change the way the government became, and how things are ran now. One of the things that changed how the United States ran the Government was the constitution. That all started with the Constitutional Convention in 1787 the men who all got together were James Madison, George Washington, and Alexander Hamilton, and many other people. The reason for the constitutional convention was to come together to create a new Government, and forgot the old constitution that didn’t seem to work out. James Madison was the one to come up with the convention, and was the man who made things happened. Many people actually liked his new ideas for the constitution. Delaware was one of the first states to approve of the new constitution. It created more of a centralized and stable union between the states. Also it changed the way people voted, and became more structured. The Government had the electoral college in which a group of people who represent the Unites States, who make the votes for whoever is running for President, and Vice President. Finally the United States had its first national Presidential election, and the states that had more people received more votes so it made voting much better. Instead of the 1790’s where whoever lost against the winning President became the Vice President, in the 1800’s it changed to where the President and Vice President who ran together they both won.
