American Revolution

The American Revolution commercial Inflatable Pirate Ship
was not a sudden and violent overturning of the
political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia,
when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered
in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution
rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on
working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously
disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities
scarcely knew that a war was on.

Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might
suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war
largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials,
everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which
promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.

One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking opulation from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer-the
United States-based itself squarely on republican principles.
