After the American Revolution ended, the United States were only united by the Articles of Confederation. The Articles didn't give Congress the power to tax the states, so the federal government was just depending on "contributions" by the states. The U.S. had a HUGE national debt and didn't have enough money to pay soldiers who fought in the war, not to mention the countries like France who helped the Americans fight the Revolution. Because of this, the Federalists proposed ratifying the Constitution. When they ratified it, along with the Bill of Rights, George Washington was unanimously President of the United States. Later, Alexander Hamilton established the Bank of the United States and encouraged the federal government to pay back all debts owed plus all debts incurred by each of the states. This united the states economically, and the Washington adminstration stabilized the economy and federal government.
I would never claim to be a historian, but this is what I do know about the social changes going on at the time of the American Revolution. For one thing, what I believe were called "loyalists", those faithful to the crown of England were greatly ostracized by the "patriots", those who supported the idea of an independent nation. Don't quote me on exactly what they were called though! I'm not positive about that. But I do know for sure that there was a lot of dissension between the two groups of people. It was around this time that Americans began drinking coffee instead of the traditional tea that the British drink. This was one of the ways that early Americans socially revolted against the British traditions that has persisted to this day! Americans are not known abroad to be coffee drinkers as are the British! When the war was over, the people who remained faithful to the crown were considered to be traitors. Britain made efforts to relocate these people out of the country. It must have been pretty uncomfortable socially if those people didn't even feel comfortable living in their own homes that they had grown up in anymore. What does that tell you about the extent of how 'social' the revolution was?
The Revolution changed the Colonies from being run by England and it's King George, to being a free and independent nation ruled by a President (George Washington). The Revolution made us a free, separate nation, (that still had slaves).
The American revolution gave Americans there freedom from Britain. Until the Patriots won, British troops were in most of the colonies and taxed almost everything. When the patriots won, they broke all ties with Britain. They no longer had to listen to there laws, and they could make there own government. About a year later the Constitution was created giving Americans their rights.
