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.
