The American Revolution was one of the most important revolutions in world history and caused many changes. The American Revolution all started because of tax, after the tax the Americans started to fight back by basically killing taxers and dumping a bunch of tea in the ocean. This caused many wars including the battles of Saratoga and the siege of Yorktown. During the battles of Saratoga, the French came and helped the Americans which made it a great turning point, during the siege of Yorktown the Americans beat the British which made this the last war before the revolutionary war which led the Americans to freedom. After the siege of Yorktown, rich white men and merchants still had the greatest amount of control over the economy but everyone got a say in the government which is also called a democracy. There were also many other changes like freedom of worship, the change of inheritance laws where daughters and sons can inherit, the separation of church and state, the monarchy was changed into a democracy where there was no single king or queen instead there was an elected president, there was a different political power in the hands of ordinary men, birth wasn’t destiny, no one denied you because of who your parents were, and the Americans could expand their land. In conclusion, the American Revolution was a successful revolution.
