Chapter 5 - The American Revolution, 1763-1783
1. How did new ideas of liberty contribute to tensions between the social classes in the American colonies?
- New ideas and issues affected the social classes, customs, gender and racial roles in the American colonies. Higher classes in many colonists wanted to keep their nobility without dismantling the social class. they didn't like a new government because they considered everyone as equals except for slavery. There was no titled nobility that dominated society from on high and no underclass that threatened it from below.
2. Why did people in other countries believe that the american revolution was important to them or their own countries?
- The people of the colonies were tired of being kicked around by the British and they decided to stand up. and this Ameican revolution influenced big movements around the world. most people feel that there wouldn't have French revolution, but it happened and inspired the European movements and also Russian revolution. all of these began with the ideals of liberty and a self determination fought for in the american revolution.
