Republican Mothers

As the American Revolution faced its ending, Americans had already won the respect of many countries. They were not considered anymore a mob or a throng, they were now recognise as an independent country. Several things change when the war ended. The patriots were the winners, the triumphant, the victorious. But not only them won honor, at the end women also won reliability in America. In the other hand, another population had the unfortunate to be abandon after the war, remaining with their hands empty. But why exactly did women won reliance in America? And what happen to the indians when they were abandon by the british?

In the war not only soldiers fought, yet women also contributed to help. Even though only few of them adventure to fight, the rest of them showed their usefulness in other aspects. As you must have read below, women aided the army translating water, fabricating clothes, healing the sick or the injured soldiers. They made an essential job for maintain the small Continental Army. After the war ended the Congress starting creating and establishing laws. The woman of John Adams, as well as the rest of the American Women, wanted to have more rights such as men. In those years women weren’t treated equally as men, so they couldn’t achieve what they wanted. But their effort made other women continue fighting for their rights until they finally did.

Moreover, we had other populace who weren’t celebrating as the Patriots. This were the Indians. When the Revolutionary war started, they decided to ally with the British in order to defeat the Patriots. But after the war ended, and the british were seized, their alliance was over. Indias were left in a complex situation. They had no one to help them or protect them, and they were neighbours of their powerful enemies. They didn’t had any other choice rather than let themselves submit by the americans. The americans took advantage over their position and made an  important exchange. The indians had to give their lands to the Americans, and they would remain in peace. The indians didn’t had other choice than to accept, so they lost their lands and their honor. 

The Revolution brought power and satisfaction to the Americans. Some of them celebrated out loud their victory, but others cried in silence. For women, this was a time in which they won respect. Women were more useful and discovered they were as capable as men. But indians had to accept their defeat and follow the instructions of the patriots. A radical change occurred after the war. The most important mentioned in this post.

British Abandon Their Allies

As the Americans surrendered the British, the war made it's way to the end. The Americans became officially independent and the British shipped back to Britain. Now that everything had ended, loyalists and Indians were in a complicated situation because they were allies of the British. The loyalists believed that patriots were dangerous, they were afraid that their mob would attack them at any moment. The Indians in the other hand, were scared of losing they lands and belongings. In this moment the British made a key decision for the future of the loyalists and the Indians. In the following post we are going to talk about how Britain abandon their allies.

  First off the British tired to protect the loyalist by setting conditions in the treaty of Paris. There were now new laws and they also had violent mobs so the loyalist were unable to return back and they were also scared. There were about 90,000 loyalist and about 20,000 former slaves. These 20,000 former slaves became refuges so they could not go back home. Many of these salves had to move to Canada while others were enslaved again in the West Indies.

   After the revolution it made two new nations that were Canada and American Republic. Later in the future it was called the Dominian of Canada. When the British abandoned the Native Americans they were very stunned. They weren't even mentioned in the Treaty of Paris and this made them vulnerable for revenge of land. The patriots could come back and attack them for land again and they wouldn't be protected anymore. 

  After this America made two treaties with the Indians: Fort Stenwix and Hopewell.
In this Americans forced Indians to give massive tracks of land in exchange of peace. New settlers moved westwards, more than 100,000 moved to Kentucky and Tennessee in 1790. As you can see the British were very selfish in leaving their allies. The Indians suffered a lot because of this meanwhile the British weren't as bad.

The Effects of the American Revolution

After the great acquire of the Patriots, they became independent and free. The british had no more influence on their lands or on their government. A perplexing situation was exposed to the Loyalists, they were now exposed to any harm from the Patriots and had no one to protect them. British abandon their allies in America, which were the indians. Indian were now mastered by the Patriots, their land was seized and they had no rights to defend them. The society in America had a total alteration. The Americans were now the owners of their land. They had no one to depend from. They became winners and proprietaries. But as you know, not only North America was already independent. Central and South America were govern by Spain, Portugal, France, etc. So did this revolution open the eyes of the other Americans?

The American Revolution not only open the doors for the Patriots. It became an essential example for other towns that were seized by other conquerors. Not many decades passed, when many countries started fighting for their own freedom. The Patriots ideas were shared or copied. Many countries in America and in Europe developed their own revolutions. One important example was the French Revolution in 1789. France was conquered by kings, and they became seized by the same french people. Another example is Latin America, which included Central America and some countries in South America. In other countries of the world revolutions were also occurring and still are.

Thomas Pain predicted that the revolution could affect the rest of the world. Each country claimed their own rights and their own freedom. The American Revolution was not only pleasurable for the Patriots, but as we saw for the rest of the world. After 3 centuries Americans could finally celebrate their victory. Some countries took less time and some other have taken more. But the nature of humans always claims for freedom. And that was the reason that Patriots fought for their own. Britain is considered unwise for losing a war which had a solution, and for their own pride they didn’t take it seriously having a fatal ending for them.
