Effect of the Revolution
Ideals of republicanism that were adopted by the natives and setters created the much required paradigm shift to fight colonialism. Writs of Assistance issued by British customs officials were challenged. The permission to whisk warehouses and ships without any causes and purely on suspicion was deliberated upon as violation of constitutional colonist rights. The Sugar Act that led to an economic downturn was hit with demonstrations and rebellious out bursts on the basis of 'no taxation without representation'. The Current Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Quartering Act, which were designed to exploit the ruled and secure British interests were systematically boycotted.
The agitated Americans indulged in protests and meetings. Despite the violent onslaught at the hands of the British troops, tempers remained flared. The people of the colonies soon began choosing representatives to deal with the crisis. There was no initial possibility for the unification of the leaders of the thirteen colonies, but the acts of rebellion were simultaneous throughout. After the famous Boston Tea Party, and the rather infamous shutting down of the harbor for trade, the representatives planned a congress in Philadelphia, to fight back and a new government.
Subsequently, an army was raised under the guidance of George Washington, and the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, amidst chaos of the American Civil war in North America. The Americans proved the power of resilience and unified action. They gave the world a lesson in true democracy. The sheer determination of the Americans ousted British regime and established the United States of America as independent.
The effects of the American Revolution have rippled on time, within the character and spirit of every American, the democratic form of government adopted, and leadership offered in the march against forces that refuse basic human rights to the global citizen.
