The story of the American Revolution begins in our colonial past, when freedom as we understand it was not yet imagined. The people of colonial British America lived in a society characterized by deep and pervasive inequalities.
Women were subordinated to men, their talents stifled, their natural rights ignored and their civil rights denied. Indentured servitude was common and enslavement was practiced throughout the colonies, as it was through much of the Atlantic world. They were subjects of a king, not citizens of a republic. The wealthy and privileged among them had few opportunities to participate in government.
Women, the poor and the enslaved had none at all. Colonial British Americans enjoyed few of the rights we take for granted, including freedom of expression and of religion. They lived in a world of grotesque injustice, darkness and oppression. The American Revolution grew from a colonial protest over new imperial regulations into a broad challenge to the authority of the British government to rule the colonies.
Although we can never know the causes of the American Revolution with precision, we can see very clearly the most important consequences of the Revolution. They are simply too large and important to miss, and so clearly related to the Revolution that they cannot be traced to any other sequence of events.
Every educated American should understand and appreciate them. First, the American Revolution secured the independence of the United States from the dominion of Great Britain and separated it from the British Empire. While it is altogether possible that the thirteen colonies would have become independent during the nineteenth or twentieth century, as other British colonies did, the resulting nation would certainly have been very different than the one that emerged, independent, from the Revolutionary War.
The United States was the first nation in modern times to achieve its independence in a national war of liberation and the first to explain its reasons and its aims in a declaration of independence, a model adopted by national liberation movements in dozens of countries over the last years.
Second, the American Revolution established a republic , with a government dedicated to the interests of ordinary people rather than the interests of kings and aristocrats. The United States was the first large republic since ancient times and the first one to emerge from the revolutions that rocked the Atlantic world, from South America to Eastern Europe, through the middle of the nineteenth century.
The American Revolution influenced, to varying degrees, all of the subsequent Atlantic revolutions, most of which led to the establishment of republican governments, though some of those republics did not endure. The American republic has endured, due in part to the resilience of the Federal Constitution, which was the product of more than a decade of debate about the fundamental principles of republican government. Third, the American Revolution created American national identity , a sense of community based on shared history and culture, mutual experience, and belief in a common destiny.
The Revolution drew together the thirteen colonies, each with its own history and individual identity, first in resistance to new imperial regulations and taxes, then in rebellion, and finally in a shared struggle for independence. Americans inevitably reduced the complex, chaotic and violent experiences of the Revolution into a narrative of national origins, a story with heroes and villains, of epic struggles and personal sacrifices.
This narrative is not properly described as a national myth, because the characters and events in it, unlike the mythic figures and imaginary events celebrated by older cultures, were mostly real. Some of the deeds attributed to those characters were exaggerated and others were fabricated, usually to illustrate some very real quality for which the subject was admired and held up for emulation. The revolutionaries themselves, mindful of their role as founders of the nation, helped create this common narrative as well as symbols to represent national ideals and aspirations.
Preserving this legacy, however, is not automatic. It requires each generation—and every citizen—to understand how we came to be and who we are as a nation. Fewer than one in ten high school graduating seniors can pass the United States naturalization test, which assesses basic knowledge of U. A knowledge of our history strengthens character. As students travel back in time, they adopt the behaviors of the day and make decisions guided by principles and respect for others. Civic principles foster ethical behavior.
Experiential learning inspires good citizenship.
