The American Revolution necessary for independence and freedom according to the Americans. The reasons as to why they needed to leave the British empire was indeed necessary, but did it really fix anything for American?

Before and During the war the U.S. was a unified country yet when it was all over they were separate there was no central government. In this case the lives of the americans did change because after the war they were no longer unified instead all 13 states started to be
