The Momentous Consequences Of The American Revolution

There are great significance of the American Revolution to the colonists, slaves, the native populations, and the women. The American Revolution played a role for freedom, religion, the government, and political rights. The colonists had a long history of independence and the population was growing rapidly. The colonist was expecting the French to help because of their struggle against the British. The colonists fought, and gather more property to preserve their independence. However, the Revolution had momentous consequences. It created the United States. It transformed a monarchical society, in which the colonists were subjects of the Crown, into a republic, in which they were citizens and participants in the political process. The
Revolution also gave a new political meaning to the average elements of society, merchants, farmers, traders and made it impossible for leaders openly criticize ordinary people. The Revolution inspired many Americans to question slavery and other forms of dependence, such as bondage and training.
By the early 19th century, either the northern states had abolished slavery or to develop freedom laws. Slaves fought for freedom and many lives were loss. In November 1775, Congress did not want black to enlist because the slave master thought the slave might turn on them and start riots. Later on the slaves fought at Fort Ticonderoga and the Battle of Bunker Hill. Five thousand slaves freed, but others needed to be free to be with their families. By 1778, many states, including Virginia granted Freedom to slaves who served in the Revolutionary War. Slavery fought for their freedom and did not see the results for years to come, but it was important during that time to fight for freedom.
During the years of conflict, Native American groups, alike many other residents of North America, had to choose the loyalist or patriot cause—or somehow hold a neutral position. However, the Native Americans had distinctive issues all their own in trying to hold on to their native lands as well as maintain access to trade and supplies as war consumed their lands as well. Some connected with the British, while others fought alongside the American colonists. (Librarians,

The American Revolution war would not have been able to progress as it did without the widespread political, as well as material support, of the woman populations of the colonies. The women carded, spun, and made clothes to help maintain the colonist boycott on British goods. The women bought American product and it became a patriotic gesture. However, the women played a very important part in the front line protecting the soldiers. The women work in the fields and made clothes and sold them to support the war. The women support was the most significance in the American Revolution.
