    The American Revolution significantly changed political and social structures in the new United States. Politically, the colonies transitioned from being ruled by a British monarch to an independent nation with a centralized government and direct citizen representation. Socially, the North moved towards more equality while slavery continued in the South. The Revolution also began shifts in gender roles and recognition of individual rights.
