• After setting through a few weeks of history, it is extremely hard to choose three changes which have been the biggest changes in the Unites States from 1783 to 1865. I feel like all of the topics, in which we talk about in class, are extremely important to the United States history. Just a few of the more complex changes that I came up with are: abolitionist movements, French and Native American War as well as women’s rights. All three of these topics made an extreme change in the United States that can still be seen in the present day. To start off, slavery was one of the cruelest things that a living person could endure. We reference slavery in our lives on a daily basis, yet many have not a clue what actually happened while slaves were

Even though you don’t have the Abolishment of slavery before 1865, the events and protest leading up to 1865 will pave a path for the rest of the years. It is the years before 1865 when people see that they have a voice and that they are able to stand up for what they believe in. Thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1865, we were able to put a primary source at works that would abolish slavery (McPherson, “The Role of Abraham Lincoln in the Abolition of Slavery”, 428-436). Even in the weeks to follow President Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, African Americans were saluting him for what he had done for their people (Day, “Salutes the Nation and Monument to Abraham Lincoln”, 447-448). In present day, it is against the law to have slaves or own people as if they were your property. Next we have the French and Native American War. In the French and Native American War there was the French and Natives against the British and Natives. The war broke out along the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes and parts of New …show more content…
A women by the name of Sojourner Truth, relates women’s rights to slavery. She states that id a women was able to turn this world upside down when itr was made then they should be able turn it back over now (Truth, “Links Women’s Rights to Antislavery”, 307-308). Imagine if we were to not have ever allowed women to have the rights that they deserve. One, we would not be the same as we are in our lives today. Women in the 21st century are allowed to do as they please, under the rule of no man. They don’t have to obey their husbands and they get to own land just like a man. We live in a world where women and men almost live the saying “All men and women are created equal”, only to be stopped by some places where they believe in a system where the an idea is that the men of the culture are the beings that hold all of the power and authority (Brown, “The Anxious World of the Slaveholding Patriarch” 49-58). Even though this is not how the average person things in the 21st century, there a few that do. This was the way that the men thought in the 18th century, and this was what they were governed
