Question

How revolutionary was the american revolution? what political, social, and economic changes did it produce? what stayed the same?

Answer 1

Changes: There was a cultural fragmentation of the British world. Federalism and republicanism replaced monarchy and deference as fundamental principles of the Revolution. The colonial relationship with Britain was destroyed. The Atlantic slave trade was condemned and outlawed by 1808. Non-elite men achieved a great role in determining the government system that ruled over them.
Status quo: Women remained second-class citizens, slavery remained a legal institution for African American people, Native Americans continued to be viewed as outsiders who had a minimum role to play in the independence movement, and elite white men continued to control national affairs.
