- American Revolutionexplanatory essayA revolution is defined as being a generally violent attempt by many people to end one rule of governing, and to create their own (Websters Dictionary). The founding of our own independent country is based on such a notion, with our forefathers fighting to gain their freedom from the oppressive rule of Colonial England. With rampant fears of tyranny from a country deemed a super power, the American people were divided in their views of creating their own government, making the definition of a revolution all the more difficult. The years 1775 to 1785 in American history were enormously fundamental to the founding of the United States. From the famous Battles of Lexington and Concord which started the war with England, to the drafting of our own Declaration of Independence from which the United States of America was born, the victorious battles fought against the Redcoats, and to the Treaty of Paris. The American Revolution shaped our country to what we know it as today, and without such a Revolution, our history and present would be vastly different.

The expansion of slavery and the election of President Lincoln (1809-1865), for example, helped to set the stage for our nation’s greatest conflict: the Civil War.

While the Revolution was obviously a war among Patriots and Loyalists, there were also many other groups of people that were directly involved and affected by the war including women, Native Americans and African Americans. Women aided the war effort and in doing so gained a mild degree of independence, but not nearly as much as they had hoped for.
