1. The American Revolution Jimmy Hill

5. Events and Personalities in the Revolution The American revolution was a key event in American history. The thirteen colonies established in America, first rejected the authority of the parliament of Great Britain to govern them overseas without representation. Many events took place in 1774 that sparked American interest in their own morals and principals. The Coercive Acts in 1774 provoked open rebellion among the colonists. One sudden impact was the departure of tens of thousands of British loyalists, and most of them ended up fighting in the war for the crown. The ambitions of the revolution targeted the expulsion of tyranny from the colonies present situation, and to create a government that was immune to any possibility of tyranny in the future. This was achieved by limiting the power of government, and making people citizens instead of subjects.

Consequences of the Revolution Consequentially the revolution transformed America refined combination of all successful forms of past governmental situations around the world, this transformation, and union of the nation was accomplished within decades. The British army effected this transformation immensely, by acting as the single most effective emancipation force in America, until the civil war. Thousands of slaves were emitted into the crowns armies, and those who lived were settled in Canada, or various places around the world. National debt. Was also one of the most influential factors from the aftermath of the war. America owed 11 million to French allied efforts, the rest was over 25 million to reparations to those who supplied the American armies. Even after the new republic was created, the new state legislatures could hardly satisfy all of the responsibilities given to them. This would still take years of refinement.
