Jefferson also makes sure to emphasis his belief that the citizens of North America are supporters of French Revolution, the few that are not are in positions of high office, or wealthy. He rationalizes that it would make sense that these people would stand on the side of the nobles and monarchs of France. Jefferson finishes off the document explaining that although he disagrees with much of the activity that is occurring, he believes that the French republicanism is “pure,” and is the correct path for the country.…
American militia diplomats were fully aware that the French were more antagonists of the English than their (US’s) friend. Moreover, doughty Jay became alarmed by the proposal of Joseph Rayneval, Vergennes’ secretary, that US should be cooped itself up to east of the Appalachians for Spain’s interest. His suspicion arose when he came to know that Joseph Rayneval secretly left Paris for London. He became clear that France was about to sacrifice American interests to Britain so that a weak French-dependent US republic might born. Then he communicated with Franklin and promptly sent a special emissary to London to open a separate negotiation with the British ignoring the instructions of the Continental Congress. Though Jay’s attempt was non-ethical…

In 1763, the French and Indian War ended by the final defeat of the French and their Native American allies in America. When the Americans thought the British were leaving, they did the exact opposite. The British brought in more soldiers and these same American colonists found themselves locked with the British more violent than ever. Britain sent more troops to receive money for their war depts. This was shocking news for the America’s English colonists because there was still the policy of salutary neglect existing. Due to this violent control, Americans felt unfair and as if they had no choice to follow what the British say. To stand up as one voice towards Britain, the American colonists justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain. Therefore, the American colonists were reasonable in doing this.…
This policy was made to ensure the stability of France and Great Britain's relations with one another. The policy explained that France will not provide the colonists aid, raise tensions between Portugal and Spain, and will maintain a level of military and naval forces to protect themselves without growing large enough to threaten other countries. Many Frenchmen – including King Louis – feared breaking the informal agreement and resulting in another war with Great Britain. Still, in 1775 France sent secret representative Achard de Bonvouloir to report on the well being of the American colonists and their eagerness for…
The American Revolution, occurring during the late 1700’s, formed the foundation and ideals Americans still hold today. During this era, the Unites States Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and a ratified Constitution were written by perhaps some of the greatest philosophical men of America to date. The revolution proved to be no easy task for the American settlers to take on amid a time of economic and political adversity. However, Britain was still recovering from the Seven Years’ War, resulting in many nations, including France, to seek revenge, thus earning American’s support in their revolution. Both economic instability and political turmoil were two of the primary causes of the American Revolution, considering economic hardship was the result of America’s lack of a strong central government and its inferiority to Great Britain’s.…
The American and French Revolutions have had major impacts in today's modern world. Inspired by ideas from “The Age of Reason” the American and French Revolutions began. The people of France and the Thirteen Colonies had enough and wanted change. Although the French and American Revolutions had similar causes and impacts, the two revolutions had very different outcomes.…

The French and Indian War, which lasted from 1754 to 1763, was the first time that the colonies in America came together to fight side by side for the same cause, and although this event made the communication and unity between the colonies stronger, the aftermath of the war drastically changed the relationship between Americans and England. England felt the need to tighten their hold on America as they couldn’t have them stop supplying them with the resources and profits they craved. Parliament, in order to pay back war debt, implemented taxes in the colonies. Even though Americans were loyal to England and greatly benefited from all their mother country gave them, the colonists believed England had no right to unjustly tax them and enforce multiple acts that made the colonists feel inferior, especially after they had been so accustomed to England’s salutary neglect. As more and more acts were introduced, Americans began to question the way England treated them and what liberty and freedom really meant. The recurring crisis and how the colonists reacted to them led to the American’s development of their own theory of independence.…
By 1775 the American people were getting fed up with the British continuing to raise and impose taxes on the colonists. As tensions grew, the two sides started to engage in real warfare. Once the fighting ceased and the Americans had gained independence, citizens would question how revolutionary the war actually was. The American Revolution was in fact revolutionary because the battles and treaties between the two nations led to the American people getting their independence as well as inspiring another revolution.…
Assignment: 1763 marked the end of the French and Indian War, the final defeat of the French and their Native American allies in America. For America’s English colonists, this was a cause for great celebration and pride in the their English identity. But only twelve years later, these same American colonists found themselves locked in a bitter and violent conflict with the mother country that had so recently been the object of their proud respect. Even today the reasons behind this abrupt transition of England and her American colonies from allies to enemies are debated.…
The French Revolution is considered to be one of the most significant events in world history. It drastically changed the face of France, which at the time of the Revolution was the most powerful country in Europe, as well as altered the society and government. The causes of the French revolution are attributed to several intertwining factors. Socioeconomic, political, and intellectual events before and during the revolution fueled it from the start.…
The crowd of people were able to take over this bastille prison which is a heavily fortified building and other armies couldn't even get into is and take it over but the third estate which is made of of people who have no military training at all were able to take it over this should give them a sense of belief that if they can do that they can change how france is and change the ruling of it if they were not able to take over the bastille prison the revolution most likely would not have happened and King Louis XVI would have stayed in power it affected the identity of the common people by them seeing this happen the believe that change can happen to they join in with the crowd that took over the bastille prison and help them further with…
The drive for independence by the American colonies faced a slim chance of success without outside assistance. The French, who were the most likely ally in this cause was recently the enemy of both the English and Americans. This would present a challenge for the American colonists as France’s finances had been depleted just as Britain’s had over the course of the Seven Year’s War. This however, was not the whole story. The French, regardless of their financial difficulties had a grudge against Britain that worked in the American’s favor. The French had already explored the possibility of an American rebellion as early as the 1760’s but realized that the time was not yet right for one to occur. As a result, France was hesitant to join into a conflict on the side of the colonies too soon as they were afraid that an early intervention might result in the French facing off against both the British and the Americans (Middlekauff, 2005).…
