What was the American cause during the revolutionary war?

Answer 1

-the Peace of Paris granted land and sovereignty, second, the American economy experienced unsurity and instability, and third, women, African Americans, and Native Americans all experienced a shift in their positions in society.

- Because this was a full-scale war, massive quantities of supplies were required by both sides. The demand sent the prices up multiple times, and the continental paper money that had flooded the market was near worthless.

- British limitations on American trade were no longer in place, allowing the marine merchant and manufacturing industries to mature unchecked. With the Proclamation Line no longer in existence, agriculture could grow and spread into even more fertile territory.

-Women were also affected by the war. Property rights moved a little bit more within reach, as the men left and allowed the women to run the farm, home, or business, and sometimes combinations of the three. In the time following the Revolution, women were granted more than they ever had been in the past.

-In the north, the Revolutionary War actually assisted in the freeing of slaves, since many had participated in the Continental Army. The South, of course, viewed slavery as fully necessary to the economy, and was not so willing to spare the free labor as the North was. Some African Americans served with the British in the hopes of obtaining freedom, and opted to leave with them at the conclusion. Many slaves chose to relocate to the British West Indies, and yet others still journied to Canada and Africa.

-Native Americans also felt the pressure of change in the post-Revolutionary War time period. Since the Proclamation Line was no longer, white settlers began to flood what had previously been considered Native American territory. This caused conflict and strife with groups such as the Cherokees of the Appalachian Mountains and the Shawnees of Ohio.
