How Did The American Revolution Bring Change

Improved Essays
Revolution does not always bring change. The revolution on Manor Farm changed only one thing: who had the absolute power. The ideals that spurred the revolution in the first place had been lost, and rather than changing the way life had been prior to the revolution, the animals were suppressed and taken advantage of by the pigs, who were the new leaders that had emerged after the exile of Jones. However, even with Jones gone, life did not change on the farm for the majority of the animals, because those few animals in power had been corrupted by the absolute, untamed power. The pigs took advantage of their superior knowledge and used it to live their own lives more comfortable. The pigs did not need to stay in stalls, as the other animals

    The American Revolution was truly revolutionary. In document three, it shows rich, middle, and poor class playing pool; which definitely did not happen before the revolution. Also, in document four it reveals that, after the revolution, the number of people in the rich class decreased, people in the middle class increased, and the poor class remained unchanged throughout the war. The abolition of slavery happened because of the revolution and, over time, that resulted in a new nation as shown in document five. If the tensions between Britain and the colonies had not built up, then we may still just be 13 individual colonies under the rule of Great Britain.…

To this was followed by a series of other rules that the only effect they had, was to incite (even more) the Americans even more. A clear example of this would be the Navigation Acts (1651), the Sugar Act (1764) and the Stamp Act (1765). These laws sometimes were not respected, and had a great opposition among the colonists.

    It is evident in the difference between what they had to say at the end of the war and what they had to say three years later. In the Chickasaw Chiefs' message to Congress at the end of the war that they had high hopes for repairing their relationship, despite the assistance they had given the British (Doc. C). However, three years later, it is obvious that the Americans had no intention of reconciliation. In a speech at the Confederate council, one Indian said "It is now more than three years since peace was made between the King of Great Britain and you, but we, the Indians, were disappointed, finding ourselves not included in that peace…" (Doc. E) From this time on, the relationship between the Indians and the Americans spun out of control, eventually resulting in the decrease in Indian population and loss of their native land.…

    Animal Farm Responses 1. The ideas that Old Major advocated in his plan to initiate a revolution, which in turn would favor all the animals, indeed parallel those of the origins of socialism. Through Old Major’s words, he reveals the miserable animal exploitation and cruel workings that the human species had created for their own benefit; “The life of an animal is misery and slavery” (Orwell 28). Similarly to the notable socialist, Karl Marx, who argued that exploited workers would unite to overthrow the higher classes to impose reforms, Old Major proposes a rebellion, “the overthrow of the human race” given that the humans take advantage of animals (Orwell 30). Moreover, in the boar’s speech, he encourages the animals to unite in order to…
