Changes for African Americans
In 1776, 1 of every 5 Americans were African ancestrys. British and loyalists called the Americans hypocrites and mocked them because, they did not understand how they dare to speak about liberty and freedom and they had slaves. Slaves were not allowed to read and write because they would know about fights and strategies.
Slaves were treated really badly, they were treated as if they could cause problems. Slaves asked for freedom and some got it.
5000 slaves joined the militia and the continental army.We could say after the revolution, African Americans partly had a a lot to do with ending racism. They would make people respect them, and respect their strengths no matter what their skin color was and perhaps people appreciate what the African Americans did. If they were to watch the world how it is now, they would be proud, and believe everything was worthy.
A lot of people wonder how the revolution inspired other groups...
Well personally i believe the Revolution gave courage to all those who were lacking of it, for example the slaves, the women the way the defended their country.
Everything remains in history, and people who were included in the American Revolution are nowadays known as heroes, cowards, good and evil people.
And thanks to History, we know who fight till he or she could, and who suffered, who got away, who died but who died as a hero too.
