Did slaves benefit from the American Revolution? I would beg a differ. Very little changed for slaves as a result of the American Revolution because it wasn’t fought for the sake of the freedom of slaves.

African Americans Progress At the end of the Civil War I do believe that the African Americans made significant progress. They may have had to fight for their freedom as well go through a lot of unnecessary steps‚ but at the end it was all worth it. The reconstruction plan‚ that President Lincoln announced in 1863‚ however did not issue Africans Americans with creating new institutions and important legal precedents that would help them survive.

It was the start of mass migration and exploration of the new lands of the people of Europe to the Americas that would create the colonies and territories that would come to form some of the most powerful and industrialized nations. Of course‚ Columbus’s achievement did not mean that he had created the America’s. The continents have been on Earth since its beginning
