What are some Characteristics of the American Revolution?

History
1 answer:
GenaCL600 [577]3 years ago
7 0

To begin, it was a war of ideology unlike most previous wars that involved either territorial conquest or royal succession. Americans were fighting for their own liberty, their own rights and their own form of government. Accordingly, Americans were driven by inner forces or beliefs, as opposed to British and Hessian troops who were driven by professional training and pay. You could fight bare footed and in rags in winter for prolonged periods for a cause. You could not do that for mere pay alone. High Hessian desertion rates support this point of view.

There were other innovations like the first use of a submarine. It was called the Turtle and it was deployed in New York harbor. It very nearly was successful. Though it was not, it did manage to set the course for the future use of the submarine. The war was also one of alliances. The United States, France, Spain and the Netherlands against England. This created a higher plain of strategic thinking on the part of participants in the war. It also resulted in a prolonged war and a decisive Franco-American land-sea victory at Yorktown.

Describe the system of slavery as practiced in the mediterranean region:
denpristay [2]

The first 19 or so Africans to reach the English colonies arrived in Jamestown, Virginia in 1619, brought by Dutch traders who had seized them from a captured Spanish slave ship. The Spanish usually baptized slaves in Africa before embarking them.

Define paternalism as it formed a part of the culture of race enslavement. Slaves were acquired by European traders. These traders had either captured the slaves via raids along the coast or from purchasing/trading with local African slave traders.

Slavery was different prior to statehood than it became afterward. Slaves came into the state in small numbers and worked alongside whites at similar tasks. Enslaved men, armed with weapons, even helped defend fortifications against Indian attack.
