Question

Which of the following were outcomes of the American Revolution?

Answer 1

The primary outcome of the American Revolution was the independence of fourteen formerly British colonies in North America; thirteen of which would immediately form the United States and the fourteenth, Vermont, which would accede to the United States shortly thereafter.

An additional outcome of the American Revolution was an ideological cleansing of royalists in the fourteen formerly British colonies, many of whom were compelled to relocate to Canada. Among these were a number of slaves who had fought on the side of the British.

The Six Nations Confederacy, a 500-year-old alliance of the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Tuscarora, and Mohawk tribes, was also splintered and ended as a result of the American Revolution, the Oneida and Tuscarora having sided with the Americans, with the other tribes having made a ruinous decision to ally with the defeated British.
