Topic: Assessing the extent to which the American Revolution changed society

American definition of “Freedom” US as a “loose” alliance of free states (Articles of Confederation) Growth of Social Democracy Basic equality Weakening of upper class Loyalist lands broken up Revolutionary elitism (Society of Cincinnati) Separation of Church and State

State Constitutions States created by “the people” Movement of state capitals inland/westward Constitutions defined (limited) government powers Written, fundamental laws Various bills of rights Strong legislature, weak executive Property requirements of suffrage remained

Republican Motherhood: changing women’s role? Abigail Adams: “revolution” for women’s rights? Importance of mothers: Offspring Teaching “civic virtue” Keepers of the nation’s “conscience” Increased educational opportunities Most women remained unaffected by revolutionary ideals

Slavery- the failure of the Revolution? 1774: Continental Congress put limits on slave trading Quaker anti-slavery organization Gradual abolition of slavery in the North Continued discrimination Slavery remained in the South Potential falling-out over slavery issue.

Conclusion 1) In your opinion, did the Revolution have a positive or negative on women or African-Americans? Explain. 2) Why do you think the creation state constitutions were so important in the post Revolution period?
