DBQ over Whether or not the American Revolution was a Revolution (using sources in the Chapter 5 DBQ)
Subject:
Tags:
Starting in 1763, a non-violent back and forth struggle between the British homeland and the British colonists in America morphed into a violent movement seeking to overthrow the British. While this movement does share some revolutionary characteristics, such as seeking to overthrow a government and the establishment of a new type of government, the movement was ultimately led by class elites who sought to maintain the same social and economic order. Therefore, the revolt that founded the United States of America fails to pass muster as being a true revolution due to a continuation of class elite domination of both the systems of government before and after the revolution.

Chapter 6: Securing Independence, Defining Nationhood, 1776-88 The Prospects of War The Revolution gave white northerners and southerners their first real chance to learn what they had in common, and they soon developed mutual admiration. In July 1776, the thirteen colonies had declared independence out of desperation and joined together in a loosely knit confederation of states. Only as a result of collective hardships experienced during eight years of terrible fighting did the inhabitants cease to see themselves only as military allies and begin to accept one another as fellow citizens. Americans remained divided over some basic political questions relating to the distribution of power and authority. Loyalists and Other British Sympathizers

The Declaration of Independence contains all of the following phrases except "monarchy and hereditary succession have laid the world in blood and ashes." From the rationalist philosophies of the Enlightenment, Americans of the 1760s and early 1770s derived the idea that individuals have certain "natural rights."

The author of the radical pamphlet Common Sense called for independence and republicanism.
