While the founding fathers didn't abolish slavery, they did start the process by adding a clause saying that the slave trade would become illegal in a few decades. They did this so they didn't have to deal with the problems this issue the problem presented. (They were lazy)

How did the Revolutionary War affect American culture?
nikitadnepr [17]
There were a lot of social, political and economic impacts of the Revolutionary War (aka the American Revolution), considering American culture. For example, democracy was introduced to America, leaving behind their monarchy. Another example is that women are now seen to have more of a say and rights to do other things that men would normally carry out, such as starting a career. A final example is that slavery is also taken more seriously nowadays due to this incredible war. Slavery was a horrific issue during the revolution, with hundreds that suffered fatally.
