There were many influential events in history. I researched each topic thoroughly and picked the one I felt was the most important. The sweet sixteen had many difficult choices to choose between. Between the battles of Yorktown and appomattox I choose the battle of Yorktown. I choose Yorktown over Appomattox because I feel like it was the start of our new country. The colonists are now free from Britain and everything with it. Although the civil war was very important because it ended slavery, freedom impacted us more. We even influenced another country, France, they had the french revolution. The american revolution had a huge impact on our country and other countries today. Between Pangea and Spanish Armada I think the Spanish Armada was …show more content…
I believe that the treaty of paris was the most influential because America had independence. The treaty of Ghent just ended the war of 1812, there was nothing important for america attached to it. For example, the treaty of paris claimed independence. The treaty of Ghent, in my opinion, was irrelevant in history because it was just stolen land given back. Also, there were many questions left unanswered with the treaty of Ghent. The french revolution was more influential than the war of 1812. The French people were able to overthrow their king and start their own government. It impacted a whole country. The War of 1812 was a war between British and America. The French revolution was actually inspired by the war of 1812. The french were fighting for a change, the war of 1812 was a problem involving trade and land. Fighting for a change is more influential because it changes everything in a …show more content…
The reason behind this is because our government was formed at the convention. The same one we have today, with 3 branches. The bill of rights was also influential but forming our government has a bigger impact because the government is more powerful than rights written down. The louisiana purchase had a huge impact on our country. We gained middle america from France for not a lot of money for anchors. Today it would cost so much more for that much land. It also impacted the English because they were enemies with France and France sold it to America. This made Britain jealous and angry. Town meetings only took place in towns and we didn't gain as much from it. The LA purchase let us gain a lot of land. The underground railroad and and Abolition court house both were very influential. The underground railroad was more influential because there was so much History with it that still stands today. For example houses that held slaves and secret routes. The abolition courthouse was a quick event, the underground railroad lasted for
The railroad caused a chain reaction that led to the freedom of all slaves after the Civil War. After the war, black people finally had the freedom that they deserved and the historical injustice that they went through was finally at rest. Millions of African-Americans were enslaved and roughly 300,000 were saved by the Underground Railroad and the rest got freedom after the Civil War. The Underground Railroad caused people to have a better life, therefore, it will forever be marked as the greatest invention of
The french and Indian war alter the political and ideological relations between Great Britain and the american colonies in many different ways. The war enable Britain to be more involved with colonial political and economic affairs. After the war Britain also ended their policy of salutary neglect. After a while their plan to make money of the colonies soon lead to the revolutionary war because it increased tension and outrage among the american colonies.
Comparing the American Revolution and the French revolution there is the main reason why the French revolution had more influence. The American upheaval was for the most part in the Americas. It presented the idea of freedom, philosophes, and republicanism. While the French upheaval, acquainted with the world the idea of communist and socialist standards, despite the fact that they weren't obviously distinguished and recorded until later on. These ideas were meaningful because it is how people thought.
The American Revolution was one of the most important wars that was fought in the history of the United States. The Patriots and the British had two different views on how things should be run in America. Many people have different opinions on why, where and how the war was started. There were a few key battles that helped to influence the outcome of the war. The outcome of the American Revolutionary War influenced the United States way of Freedom and the way the American people live today.
This expansion would not only demonstrate the ability that the United States had to control North America but also lead to a defining event in United States history, the Civil War. The westward expansion between the years 1789 and 1815 was some of the most influential expansion in American History because of what can be considered an identity crisis the United States was going through as such a young country. The expansion into these areas shed light onto the issues being faced by the people and states of the United States as they continued grow and define themselves. The impact would define a country set the United States on the path to become the world power it is
French overthrew their internal government, while Haiti overthrew their external government. The French revolution was the start of enlightenment ideas coming into place in Europe. The french were in debt The French monarchs had unlimited power and also declared themselves as representatives of god. This revolution stirred among the French leading to the rise of Napoleon.

Lewis and Clark Some might know about the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark's expedition but do you know how it benefited the U.S. besides just doubling our size? Well, Lewis and Clark traveled to the United States that achieved mapping out new uncharted territory and advancing the U.S. medical prowess. Officially starting such a journey for Lewis and Clark, the French sold all the land west of the Mississippi river in 1803 totaling around 15 million dollars and 530 million acres of land, this purchase doubled the size of the U.S. at the time. Such a purchase included 15 states (Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Minnesota.) The French sold Louisiana
The French Revolution was one of the most significant wars that changed France’s history. The Revolution started in 1789 and ended in 1799 and was mainly initiated by the conditions affecting the Third Estate. Louis XVI was predominately the king during this time period but little did he know that an uprising among the peasants was happening. The French Revolution was caused by the Enlightenment ideas because of the American Revolution, the knowledge of rights, and the questioning of France’s government. The American Revolution was basically the “fire” that ignited the change the Third Estate wanted to see in their country.
The American Revolution The French and Indian War impacted the American Revolution in many ways. Britain incurred a large debt from the cost of the war and the taxes that they imposed on the colonists created feelings of anger and rebellion that led to the revolution. As a result of the French and Indian war, the British were not at full strength which allowed the actions of the colonists to be more effective. Because of the outcome of the war, France was willing to help the colonists. Without the much needed help from the French the colonist may have never won the war.
There are a few more events that were have more impact like the Civil War and the American Revolution, but this is one of the top. It helped America know that they are strong and that they can accomplish
The French and Indian War was important to the American Revolution because the debt from the war was the reason that Parliament started taxing the colonists. Also, the French and Indian War made Britain very weak, making the colonists’ actions work a whole lot better. Since France was not happy with the outcome of their war with Britain this was a main reasons for France’s interest in helping the now Americans throughout the Revolutionary War, which was very important to the colonies’ victory. The reason why Britain started to tax the colonists was because of the debt resulting from the French and Indian War. The first tax was the the tax on sugar, which was put on the colonists to help pay off the war debt.
When it comes to the outcomes of each it seems as if the French Revolution created more change than the English Civil War did. Although they did have similarities and differences; it seems as if their results differ more than they compare. They both seem to have common results but the results are definitely different when it comes to how it affected their countries. Three of their major results
The American and French revolutions were two major events of Western civilization. While the timing and end results of the French and American Revolutions were different, the two were much more similar in many ways. They both broke free from oppressive government systems. Both were influenced by Enlightenment ideals when recreating their governments. They both inspired other countries to start their own revolutions to rid of monarchy and to create a republic government.
The American and French Revolution both had similar stages that a revolution consists of having a normal stage, widespread dissatisfaction, and the transfer of power and effect. The Americans and French both had a normal stage in which they were ruled by and monarchs were chosen in a traditional way. They both had a time when both sides oppressed the French and British government. Lastly, both parties got power in the end from whom they wanted to be free from. All revolutions have many stages which they go through, these three stages are the main bits of a
