The cultural assimilation of Native Americans was an assimilation effort by the United States to transform Native American culture to European–American culture between the years of 1790–1920.George Washington and Henry Knox were first to propose, in an American context, the cultural transformation of Native Americans. They formulated a policy to encourage the "civilizing" process.With increased waves of immigration from Europe, there was growing public support for education to encourage a standard set of cultural values and practices to be held in common by the majority of citizens. Education was viewed as the primary method in the acculturation process for minorities.
During the American Revolution, most of the slaves could not serve in the army, free blacks could but slaves could not. Some historians say that the American Revolution reinforced the idea of a racial identity based on skin color.
Because of that some slaves and blacks decided to fight for the British, because they offered them freedom for joining their cause, a thing that the Americans did not offer them.
Of the half a million slaves that were in the American colonies during the American Revolution, 20 thousand joined the British cause. Many slaves that belonged to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and others fled to the British side.
The main result was that this led to the largest slave uprising and the greatest emancipation until the Civil War. Some of those ex-slaves emigrated to Sierra Leone, Canada, and Britain.
