Question

Describe the role of women and blacks (free and slave) in the Revolutionary War. Did their participation lead to any social changes for them?

Answer 1

         Women in the era of the Revolution were responsible for managing the household. Connected to these activities, women worked in the Homespun Movement. Instead of wearing or purchasing clothing made of imported British materials, Patriot women continued a long tradition of weaving, and spun their own cloth to make clothing for their families
