This is my American revolution journal of Adam, a boy who lives in Boston with his mom and dad. He works at his dad’s shop, but soon, he becomes a soldier to save his country.  Throughout the revolution, he undergoes many emotions, especially when he is at the battle. 

After the revolution, some things changed, while others stayed the same. The big area of change was the shift in governmental structure. Monarchial rules were thrown away and republic remained, expanding the voting right for white and black men in 1848. They elected their own representative and this reflects to the slogan they had back in 1765: No taxation without representation. Later, women also got rights to vote in 1920. However, slavery in the south stayed the same. Slaves didn’t have any right to vote, learn, and speak up.

I think the revolution was successful, mainly because the American colonists eventually achieved their goal: independence.
