Up to this time period of the world, have all these things in the past happened to help our world move forward (evolutionary)? Or have these things worked against us (revolutionary)? Some things from our past have helped us move forward, but some have also held us back.
In the past we have had a lot of wars, but how have they affected us today? The French and Indian war also known as the seven years, war was a war between Britain and France. This war began because France had expanded into the Ohio River Valley and that had caused repeated conflict. Throughout the French and Indian War many people were involved. One of the most important people involved was George Washington. Washington was sent as an ambassador from the British crown to the French officials and Indians as far north as present-day Erie, Pennsylvania. Other people involved were people called the Minutemen, these people were always ready in case a certain emergency was to happen. Eventually the war ended in 1763 with the Treaty of Paris. To me this war was revolutionary because it didn't fix anything. It was just another war that happened.
Another important time in history was when the Intolerable Acts was passed in March, 1774. The intolerable Acts was made to punish the American colonists for the

As Thomas Paine once said during the war, "These are the times that try men's souls..." Thomas Paine wrote this quote to show that even in the crisis they were in at the time, shrunk from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks from a man and a woman. Another famous quote from the Revolutionary War, also known as the battle of Lexington and Concord is "if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." This quote was said by John Paarker, it meant stand your ground, and don't fire unless fired upon. To me, this war was evolutionary because it helped us fight for what we wanted, and in the end, everyone got something they
The Revolutionary War was truly revolutionary. It created a change that changed how lived in the modern day. The Revolutionary War created change in jobs, wealth, government, and a change in freedom nationally and personally. The change in jobs occurred for many blacks and poor people, white and black. As it states in document #6, a young black free boy worked extremely hard and persisted to get a job, but no one would work with him due to his ethnicity.
War is the worst experience I have ever had. If you’re not dying because you were physically hurt, you 're always dying mentally. It’s hard not to think what we 're fighting for will make a difference. Thankfully, Thomas Paine has a way with words. I think his speech, “The Crisis,” gave us, certainly me, the motivation we needed.
The American Revolutionary War was a war fought from 1775-1783, also known as the American War of Independence, between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the thirteen colonies.

The Revolutionary war was massively revolutionary for the American colonies. After the war, many people’s lives were changed from horrible to somewhat better, even if it took 100 years like how women got their equal rights to men in 1920 (Document 8), how African Americans were all free and not slaves in 1865 (Document 5), how American Indians wern’t getting attacked anymore (Document 9), and how the richest people in the country became equal to some of the poorest people in the country in rights and in wealth(Document 2,3,4). This really impacted many lives for everyone and this all was changed or influenced by the outcome of the Revolutionary war. The lives of the people wasn’t the only thing that changed, but the politicians have changed
The American Revolution was one of the most important wars that was fought in the history of the United States.

From the first shots at the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775 to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the American Revolution fundamentally changed American society.

The Seven Years’ War was a massive war involving every European superpower at the time. Lasting from 1754 to 1763 this war stemmed from continuing frontier tensions in North America as both French, British officials and colonists sought to extend each country’s sphere of influence in frontier regions. Although many individuals stood out in the long engagement there are some who indirectly influenced the American Revolution due to their perspective on the war influencing their actions in the future. After the defeat of Braddock at the Ohio Valley, the morale was low in the ranks of the British as a number of casualties were building up exponentially. The colonists have given up hope in Britain believing that they weren’t giving them the support that they need.

The French-Indian War of 1754-1763 resulted in political, ideological, and economic alterations within Britain and its American colonies. The French and Indian War, also referred to as The Seven Years War, began with British and French conflicts across the Ohio River Valley, as both nations wanted to claim the land for themselves. The first blood of the French-Indian War began with multiple British failures, including Washington’s dreadful defeat at Fort Necessity and General Braddock’s failed attempt at conquering Fort Duquesne, in which he died along with two-thirds of his army (Document C). The British would, however, gain momentum in 1759 with multiple victories, including their most significant triumph, Quebec.

The French and Indian War was important to the American Revolution because the debt from the war was the reason that Parliament started taxing the colonists. Also, the French and Indian War made Britain very weak, making the colonists’ actions work a whole lot better. Since France was not happy with the outcome of their war with Britain this was a main reasons for France’s interest in helping the now Americans throughout the Revolutionary War, which was very important to the colonies’ victory. The reason why Britain started to tax the colonists was because of the debt resulting from the French and Indian War. The first tax was the the tax on sugar, which was put on the colonists to help pay off the war debt.
