The American Revolution War

Introduction

Just as it is known that no man can stand alone, no historical occurrence happens in

isolation from its context of space and time. The American Revolution was precipitated by a

myriad of ideas stretching back to the primordial world and was impacted by various social

factors, each with its past development, and encompassed the actions of a large number of people

over a given period within a given transatlantic setting. In researching a defining event such as

the American revolutionary war, researchers usually overlook the whole conceptualization of the

limits is usually dependent on the sense of comparison. The keyword is not 'American" but

'revolution.' as such, the study of the perception of when the American revolution started, its

implications, and when it ended should adhere to conventions of the class of happenings that can

be defined as revolutions.

Freehling (2016) outlines three distinct lines of studying the American revolution. For

starters is a comprehensive account of one given revolution. The second relay an official

comparison of two or more revolutions to determine any significant link between the revolutions.

Lastly is a theoretical framework, its essence being to establish a theory of revolution that can

explain causes, processes, and implications. As Cogliano (2010), further states, the theoretical

point of research is usually overlooked when studying the American revolution.

Central research question

The research paper strives to set the mass of the recent research on the American

revolution within an all-encompassing framework of the sociology of the revolution. Or a study

of the American revolution as a peoples' war (Higginbotham & Royster, 2016). The research

design will allow for a comprehensive comprehension of the war's nature and implications. The
 3

research will invoke leitmotif tensions precipitated by societal inequalities and egalitarianism,

which both spurred and divided the human actors of the revolutionary war.

the research study will aim at answering four complex research questions about the period of the

American revolution:

1. why did the revolution occur in a society deemed as free and prosperous?

2. Who formed the various components of the changing revolution coalition?

3. How did the American evolution win its conflict with the leading imperial forces?

4. What were the implications of the American revolutionary war on American society?

Before providing comprehensive feedback to the research questions n critical sections of the

research paper, the research paper, to a given extend, explain some primary challenge relating to

the framework of revolutionary social transformation and the implications of the war on

American society.

Sources

Various sources of information were of importance in undertaking this research study.

The American journal revolution as a people's war: a bibliographical essay by William Marina

was the primary resource utilized, supplemented from numerous research journals from the

Washington library of congress online catalog. The journals of the continental congress and

revolutionary war records were also essential to research sources. Published papers from

researchers, coupled with accounts of general officers, were used extensively.

Lessons

At the end of the research process, I intend to learn how the limitation f executive power

as a result of the revolution had towards popular sovereignty by placing significant political
 4

power in the hand of the elite few. The research wants to ascertain how such a mover increased

governmental interventionism comprehensively.
