Some women gained voting rights briefly due to their ownership of land, but this was not a long term right. Many women gained education, however, this was only to teach the children. The opinion of women also changed very little after the war; the idea of women in politics were still laughed at and not taken seriously. "I long to hear that you have declared an independency, and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors."]]> 2021-10-13 13:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1813846002 Major Change For the Loyalists in America. wcallanan288 https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1814090305 There were many changes for the loyalists after the Revolutionary war. Many of the people still loyal to Britain fled at the end of the war in fear of being mistreated by the Patriots. The land of many loyalists was sold off after the revolution, leaving some of the loyalists without a home. Other loyalists were mistreated in general, one example of this being Dr. Abner Beebe who had his house attacked, and had himself tarred and feathered after speaking in British favor. Many of the changes for the loyalists were social ones, as they became social outcasts. One loyalist wrote, “Liberty can have no existence without obedience to the laws.” ]]> 2021-10-13 14:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1814090305 Partial Change for Non-Elite/Poor Whites ghaines795 https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1817339240 There were many noticeable changes for non-elites and poor whites after the Revolutionary War. Further focus on equality and unity of man, as emphasized in Document 1 explains the newfound sense of equilibrium, yet another drawback from regular function common in British rule. Despite this, states still implemented qualifications. They saw the allowance of all poor to vote as an entry for disaster, knowing that women and those of other race would be demanding the same soon after.  As seen clearly in many sections of Document 2, as states began forming their own governing individually the "consent of the governed" became an increasingly valuable topic. The non-elite population also gained more vibrancy politically, educationally, and economically. States began to prioritize the consideration of all people instead of the wealthy elites. The majority of the population still questioned the involvement of these groups, requiring a certain level of wealth and manor to be considered. Though many, mainly in the South, rejected the idea of proper social shifts for these people, the new world after the American Revolution called for change and attracted the majority.  “Whenever I use the words freedom or rights,” wrote Thomas Paine, “I desire to be understood to mean a perfect equality of them. . . . The floor of Freedom is as level as water.”]]> 2021-10-14 14:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1817339240 No Change for Native Americans ghaines795 https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1818001279 Unfortunately, the Native Americans experienced almost the least mention able amount of change socially post-revolution. As mentioned in Document 1, the Native Americans lost their largest battle with the fact they they were given no representation at the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The largest world powers still did not consider Native Americans considerable for the title of an American citizen, despite the manipulation they implemented to acquire a larger army during the war. Document 2 highlights ignorance towards natives very well, focusing on post-war aspects. Tribes collected together to fight these wars, but lost entirely as Euro-Americans found it their standard right to all the land as they viewed the natives as utterly inferior still. As explained in Document 4, the American Revolution actually dampened progress made by the natives in many terms, one being trade. The American Revolution tore apart trust between all natives and Euro-Americans due to native and British alliances. Native Americans were now stuck in an economic limbo, the fear they felt so strongly becoming overwhelming once again as the relationship between the two prominent groups in America worsened. “If it was really true that the English had basely betrayed them by pretending to give up their Country to the Americans Without their Consent, it was an act of Cruelty and injustice that Christians only were capable of doing.”]]> 2021-10-14 19:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1818001279 Major change for African Americans rhamilton535 https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1825915560 There wasn't many change for African Americans other than one major change. Both sides during the revolutionary war used African American slaves as soldiers with the promise that if they served they would be freed afterward. This than led to emancipation acts in places such as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Slowly this trickled down to the south and led to the civil war. ]]> 2021-10-19 02:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1825915560 Some change for Minorities rhamilton535 https://padlet.com/wcallanan288/l17eldgdf60k5smn/wish/1825958885 There was change for religion minority's but it was met with push back. South Carolina did not give full freedom for religious rights. They still viewed Christianity as the true religion and god had to publicly be worshiped. Massachusetts on the other hand were supportive of the idea and let people freely worship as long as peace was maintained. Virginia also tried to establish a bill written by Thomas Jefferson who said no person can be compelled to attend any church or support it with his taxes.
