How America Gained Its Independence
explanatory essay
Although the colonists were justified in declaring their independence from the Mother Country, not all colonists welcomed independence. Some of the colonists were loyalists, so a war broke out called the American Revolution. It was a cluster of a few battles to protect and create a new nation, called the United States of America. The American Revolution had an immense impact on other parts of the world such as France and Latin America. From Saratoga to Yorktown, every battle in between, and the loss of Cornwallis’s army, helped convince Parliament that the American colonists could be defeated, but only at great cost.

The Treaty of Paris, as it was called, ended the war, set nation boundaries, and recognized the American independence.

American Revolution Dbq
analytical essay
The American Revolution, just from the word “revolution”, gives a notion of drastic change and freedom. Though America did earn independence from the British, as a nation, America stayed relatively the same as before. In retrospect, the revolution was a turning point as it did allow America to establish an independent leadership away from the British, becoming a base to build a nation. It also led to changes in political ideas and institutions. However, the forefathers of America failed to acknowledge the intense class hierarchy that still remained and the strained relationship between classes continued despite the creation of a new nation. The majority of Americans were poor and were treated unfairly even after the war, so overall, the revolution made no difference for them. They had no immediate change between 1775 through 1800 socially, economically and politically after the revolution.
