Question

To what extent were the ideals of the American Revolution realized in the first 100 years?​

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The ideals of the American Revolution were partially realized in the first 100 years due to many significant events and situations.

After the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the colonies had to win the Revolutionary War and signed the Treaty of Paris to formally end the war against England. The United States lived a period of constant changes trying to establish its new form of government, as was the case of the Articles of Confederation and years later, the Constitutional Convention to create a new Constitution. There were other Wars such as the War of 1812, or the permanent confrontations with the Native American Indians, the issue of slavery until the division of the country between the Union and the Confederates in the Civil War.

So, some Americans could live the rights stated in the Constitution and could prosper, but many others suffered difficult conditions, had to move to different places and lived under different adverse conditions at the time the Constitution was amended.
