Introduction:

What happens in the Revolutionary war?

From 1775 to 1783, the American Revolutionary War was fought between Britain and the original 13 colonies. The Civil War in the United States was fought between the Union and the Confederate States of America. The Civil War is still the bloodiest conflict in American history. 


Protests and boycotts eventually led to outbreaks of physical violence and Britain's punitive Townshend Acts. Before 1784, when some northern states began passing "gradual emancipation" laws, slavery was relatively common in all of the states. The idea of whether freedom in the colonies applied only to some or to all was intricately entwined with the identity colonists created for themselves during their separation from Britain. Lawyers, doctors, and ministers from the North used slaves, even as slaves were forced to work fields in the South. Many northerners feared African slaves would rebel if freedom was not granted to them soon.


What happens during the Civil war?

The Civil War pitted the northern states, calling themselves the Union, against the seceding states from the south, called the Confederacy. Most of the action occurred in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, and the Mississippi River, along with naval action along the Atlantic Coast. Major battles include Antietam, Chickamauga, Corinth, Fort Sumter, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Wilson's Creek, and the Battle of Appomattox. The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) was an armed conflict between Great Britain and thirteen of its North American colonies. In 1775, Britain had accumulated a considerable amount of war debt by taxing its colonies.


Northern religious groups, such as the Quakers, also played important roles in furthering the cause of abolition. Abraham Lincoln's election as president in 1860 sparked the Civil War, which saw the creation of the Confederate States of America. During the American Revolution, the greatest British military advantages of manpower and experience were never fully deployed. In the Civil War, many of the army leaders were West Point classmates and ended up fighting friend against friend, even brother against brother. The North had the advantage of a larger population to draw soldiers from and an industrial base for cannons, rifles, and bullets.




Where and When did the Revolutionary War happen?

The Revolutionary War was fought mainly in the colonies of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and Rhode Island.

 During the American Revolutionary War, estimates of colonial dead range from 18,000 to 27,000, many through illness and exposure, while the wounded were estimated to be between 20,000 and 35,000 men.


Where and When did the Civil War Happen?

 Civil War fought along a wide swath of territory ranging from Virginia-Maryland to territories west of the Mississippi River but ultimately saw bloodshed in 23 states. Naval battles occurred along the Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast, and Mississippi River, many of which are now national parks. For the Civil War, the Union Army (North) was estimated to have suffered about 110,000-145,000 soldiers killed, while Confederate deaths numbered about 74,000 -95,000. Per capita, far more were killed and wounded in the South.



History of Revolutionary War:

  • 1763: Great Britain, France, Portugal, and Spain sign the 

  • 1763 Treaty of Paris. 

  • 1764: Britain issues the Sugar Act to raise revenue after years of struggling to successfully tax molasses in the colonies. 

  • 1765: Britain introduces the Stamp Act of 1765, which directly taxes colonies by requiring books, pamphlets, and official documents to carry an embossed revenue stamp. 

  • 1770: British soldiers kill 5 civilians and injure 6 others in what is known as the Boston Massacre. 

  • 1775: Great Britain issues the Tea Act to cut down on tea smuggling and boost sales of its East India Company, which has a tea surplus. George Washington becomes Commander in Chief of the 13 colonies. 

  • 1776: George Mason and Thomas Ludwell Lee draft the Virginia Declaration of Rights. 

  • 1777: Vermont becomes the first state to abolish slavery for all individuals over the ages of 18 (female) and 21 (male). 

  • 1783: The American Revolutionary War ends with Great Britain and the states signing the 1783 Treaty of Paris. 

  • 1789: The Northwest Ordinance of 1789 prohibits slavery in several northern states with some notable exceptions regarding the treatment of runaway slaves.

  • 1808: Congress passes a ban on the importation of slaves to the U.S., and President Thomas Jefferson signs it into law. Congress does not ban the practice of "breeding" slaves to keep up with demand. 

  • 1850: Fugitive Slave Act requires runaway slaves to be returned to their masters. 

  • 1852: The novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, written by abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, is published.

  • 1857: In Dred Scott v. Sandford, the U.S. Supreme Court rules that black people do not have the same rights as white people. 

  • 1859: 17 killed and 10 wounded in the raid on Harpers Ferry, where abolitionist John Brown attempts to start a slave revolt. 

  • 1860: Abraham Lincoln is elected president with a mere 40% of the vote due to the presence of other political parties in the election.


History of Civil War:

  • 1861: The Civil War began when Confederates capture Fort Sumter in South Carolina. 

  • 1863: Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation banning slavery in 10 slave-holding states, but not across the nation as a whole. 

  • 1865: Robert E. Lee is promoted to general-in-chief of the Confederate Army.

  • 1868: the Fourteenth Amendment is added to the U.S. Constitution. It abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude but still allows for both as punishment.



Why and how do these wars happen?

The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, gave the colonies a sense of separation from the British Empire. The Continental Congress went on to form a Constitutional Convention and issue the United States Constitution. The first elected president was the former General of the Army, George Washington. The end of the Civil War reunited the seceding states with the rest of the Union.


What is the difference between American nationalism in the Revolutionary war compared the Civil war?

From all information I found, I can conclude that the Revolutionary war has more Nationalism. The reason that this can be seen is that at the time they were fighting, America is part of the British empire. Even though they look more European, because there was also a lot of mix between Ireland, French, Native, African, Spanish, and more, so they want to fight for their independence. Also how the British Government treats them by correcting the more unreasonable high value of tax which results in the “Tea Party of Boston”. This start the fire in people's hearts to fight back and there were many casualties in the first riots.


Glossary:

  • Nationalism: identification with one's own country and support for its interests, especially at the expense of or to the harm of other countries' interests.

  • Revolutionary- supporting or participating in a political change

  • A civil war is a conflict involving citizens of the same nation.

  • The Continental Congress is consisted of delegates who spoke and acted on behalf of the people of the colony-states that subsequently became the United States of America.

Jordan Banks, a 12-year-old student who enjoys drawing cartoons and dreams of attending art school, is introduced in this chapter. He, on the other hand, has little control over his own life and uses his cartoons to show how much he despises school. Ellice, his mother, wants him to attend a prominent school where he will study more academics than art, and she emphasizes all of the new school's special features. Jordan's father, Chuck, is more supportive of Jordan and his creative abilities, although he is concerned that his son's school is not diverse enough.
