It was made up of two related events: the American War of Independence (1775-1783) and the formation of the American government as laid out by the Constitution of the United States in 1787.

How Revolutionary was the American Revolution The American revolution was during the last half of the 18th century in which thirteen colonies in North America joined together to break free from British rule, combining to become the United States of America. The American Revolution had momentous consequences. Though the question is, how revolutionary was the American Revolution? Furthermore, was it a huge turn or just partial, to the shaping of the United States or the impacts it has had to this day? The American Revolution has caused changes, in such as political independence, social equality, land reform, and economics.

He did a very good job on his presidency and he had many important achievements. I would definitely have voted for Jefferson because he was brilliant and he understood the needs of the people. As mentioned above, he helped to write the Declaration of Independence and the constitutional law. Lastly, he argued fundamentally that a federal government that had too much authority over its people would ultimately undergo a revolution.

Evolution of the American Revolution: Causation to Sovereignty The American Revolution is described as the political uprising of the thirteen British Colonies of North America against the British Empire during the last half of the eighteenth century. Officially, the conflict lasted from 1775, starting with the “shot heard round the world,” to 1783 when the British Government recognized the independence of the colonies as one sovereign nation. The Revolutionary War was preceded by politically, socially, and economically related ideals and events that altogether inspired the unification of the independent colonies and their separation from the British Empire. The key influences of the American Revolution include: the French and Indian War; the Navigation, Currency, Stamp Tax, Declaratory, Townsend Duties, Tea, and Intolerable Acts; as well as the political and religious ideals of the colonists. The revolutionary era for the American Colonies began around 1763 after the British removed the military threat of the French from North America during the French and Indian War, which resulted in substantial economic debt for the British Empire.

Leading causes of the American Revolution The American Revolution was by far the most important war in the history of the United States. The war gave the original 13 colonies their freedom from Great Britain and started a new country, the United States of America. Three leading causes of the American Revolution are new Enlightenment ideas, many acts imposed on the colonists, and the formation of the First Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence. During the 1700s, a new way of thinking came about and it is known as the Enlightenment Period. Enlightenment can be defined as “a philosophical movement in 18th century that fostered the belief that one could reform society by discovering rational laws that govern social behavior and were just as scientific as the laws of physics.” A British man by the name of John Locke in 1690 argued that governments were created to protect life, liberty, and property and that people had a right to rebel when a monarch violated those natural rights.

In 1815 North American events were primarily determined by the United States of America, which at that time governed the territory from the East Coast to more or less the Rocky Mountains in the west, and by two major colonial powers, namely Spain in the west and Great Britain in today`s Canada. All three found themselves in a process of continental expansion, which was essentially motivated by social, religious and political matters and ideologies and often culminated in wars like The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), The War of 1812 between the United States of America and the British Empire or the Mexican-American War which was settled in 1848 – wars that played a major role in the U.S. state building process. This North American process was dependent on differences and divergences, but also of interaction and entanglement within a common frame, but especially on its level of participants’ sovereignty. Therefore, in 1815 the colonial powers Great Britain and Spain were in a race for the North American supremacy with the United States, which held the leading position due to its increasing independent status. All of them found themselves in between a colonial establishment, maintenance and acquisition of new territory on the one hand and a post-colonial identity finding organization of their territory on the other hand.
