...For the French they had spent years building a good reputation with the Indians who they mostly dealt with and they were not going to give that up even after the war. What saddened the French and hurt them at the same time was that their long relationship with the Indians was now going to be affected due to the new British control. Many of the Frenchmen living in the region were torn simply because now they were no longer able to aid the Indians like they had once before. Many were afraid of condemnation or persecution. This was the most drastic effect for them after the end of the war and one that they would have to deal with till the American Revolution. Now came the Native American people. For many of them after the French and Indian...

...People believe that revolutions can leave a lasting effect, because the only reason revolutions happen is because people are looking to change something. For instance back during the time of the American revolution the colonists were looking for a change. They wanted freedom, and Britain was not giving them freedom.

...Did the Industrial Revolution Disrupt the American Family? The Industrial Revolution had a profound impact on American life economically, politically, and socially. It affected every facet of American society from the political and economic structures of the country to the family unit. Historians, however, have varying viewpoints on whether the Industrial Revolution disrupted the American family. One point of view, represented by Elaine Tyler May, is that it disrupted the American family because the changing lifestyle that resulted put enormous pressure on men to provide adequately for their wives and children, which led to the breakup of many families. The opposing point of view, represented by Jacquelyn Hall, Robert Korstad, and James Leloudis, is that it did not disrupt the American family because in some parts of the country such as the south, many families were still able to live and work together in ways that were similar to how they lived and worked on their farms. Given the available data cited by May on divorces during this period, I subscribe to the point of view that the Industrial Revolution disrupted the American family. The problem with Hall’s argument is that it is supported by examples that are too narrow to generalize for the country as a whole. May argues that the mass production and consumption of goods which resulted from the Industrial Revolution, as well as the changing lifestyle and widespread prosperity put enormous pressure on men to provide for...

...Gordon Wood’s book expressed the events of the American Revolution in a monotone manner. The book describes the events of the war in general manor. Wood fails to elaborate on the conflicts of the war as well as, the human conflicts. Furthermore, “Wood summarily discusses the Revolution's effects on women, Native Americans, free and enslaved African Americans, and Loyalists,” (Book review). Another topic the author expresses excessively is that he, “speaks of eighteenth-century Americans as if they were all of one mind, concluding, somewhat peremptorily, that democracy "became the civic faith of the United States to which all Americans must unquestionably adhere"” (The American Revolution p. 166) (Book Review). Throughout the book one can...

The English Bill of Rights states that the English people believe in toleration with other religions, the government is not totally controlled by the Royal family, taxations needs consent of the Parliament, and allows the freedom of speech to members of Parliament. The Britans had the expectations of self government when they came to the American colonies. Due to the American Revolution these ideas from the Enlightenment were put into practice to make the government United States now has today. The American revolution brought the basic principles of the government that we have today: popular sovereignty, limited government, separation of powers, checks and balances, judicial review and federalism. The concept of popular sovereignty comes from the ideas that Locke and Hobbes synthesized during the Enlightenment of State of Nature. State of Nature state's political power comes from the people and should be given to other people or another person. Furthermore...

The American economy began to change during the Industrial Revolution; this change was mainly due to the increase of productivity. Productivity increased by using the out work system. This system consisted of people completing jobs in their homes (Economic Growth and the Early Industrial Revolution). Another way the economy changed was through the factory system. This system allowed a large scale of work to be completed in one location (Economic Growth and the Early Industrial Revolution).

...Christina Penh Mr. Jobs AP American History 2012 Summer Assignment The American Revolution: A History by Gordon S. Wood Many people mistake the American Revolution for the American War of Independence, but Gordon S. Wood saw it as something more: it was a complete change in the political structure of America. The American Revolution: A History provides a great swift account of the conflicts and motivations of the period from 1760 to 1790. According to Wood his main points, are: “How the Revolution came about, what its character was, and what its consequences were” as “the questions this brief history seeks to answer”(Wood, xxv). He tries to focus more on the important details instead of trying to argue whether or not the consequences of the Revolution were good or bad. The story is told clearly and is a great overview of the historical, political, and intellectual ideas and events that make up this fascinating time in our country’s history. It is detailed and goes in-depth, exploring all aspects of the Revolution. It includes maps, a time-line and quotes from colonists and people who were there. In order to explain his reasoning, he demonstrates how the United States was impacted by the radical revolution, transitioning from English colonies to an independent republic. This is why his book is organized into seven chapters: Origins, American Resistance, Revolution, Constitution-Making and War, Republicanism, Republican Society, and the Federal Constitution. Only fourteen...

...The War of 1812 was often considered the 2nd American Revolution, however, it was as well-known as the forgotten war. A revolution is a major transition/change. Although, in textbooks it was believed that it took place during the Jefferson era, it was actually James Madison who was president during the warfare. The cause of the War of 1812 is foreign interference with United State trade by both France and Britain. This war showed that the United States was willing and able to protect the nation's interests. Overall, the war was the 2nd American revolution, reasons include; the issues running up to the war, due to its success in the two phases of the warfare, and the bequest of the war left a permanent imprint on the country. The United States finally properly addresses foreign policy. For years previous presidents failed to attempt to reconcile with Europe, thus bringing the United States closer to international war. Constantly declaring its neutrality policy; friendly to both sides. It was then that both feuding nations; Britain and France begin to seizing US trading ships. Which led to the unpopular Embargo Act of 1807; making it illegal to trade with Britain nor France. This negatively affected the United States, especially New England, which relies on trade for economic growth. However, once Madison takes office; he enacted the following; Non-Intercourse Act, later replaced by the Mason's Bill #2. This promises to whichever nation respects US neutrality would receive...

The Industrial Revolution was the significant revolution that changes the way people lives and worked. The revolution, which involved many changes in manufacturing, transportation, and communication, began in England in the middle 1700s and spread both to the United States and to continental Europe. The Industrial Revolution occurred in America in the end of 18th century and the first half 19th century. This Revolution effected both the South and North America.

In contrast, the South still be loyal with agricultural society and received a majority goods from the North. My followed essay is going to clarify the different effects of the American Industrial Revolution on the North and the South. In the North, the Industrial Revolution began in the textile industry. The textile industry, which increased the gross output of textiles from 2.6 million USD in 1778 to 68.6 million USD in 1860, are quickly extended. Britain had forbidden the engineers, mechanics, and tool-makers to leave the country because they did not want to spread their secrets of industrialization.
