How did the Revolution affect the natives americans, slaves, women?

The American Revolution had ever-lasting effects in the world, but it affected some groups in a different way than it affected other groups. In the following paragraphs, we wrote the effects the revolution had on women, slaves, and native americans.

Women:
It affected the women because even after their loyal service to the Patriots during the Revolutionary war, they didn't gain any legal and political rights. The revolution inspired women to be free and independent. The ideals of the revolution inspired women for equality, freedom and independence that would contribute in the future. The American Revolution affected the status of women. Also it inspired women for equality. It affected the position of white women. Revolution took vivid changes in the aspects of women. It gave a new light to the women who had been looked down and to fight the cause.

Slaves:
Although the slave trade itself was banned and in the northern states, slavery wasnt abolished, it did not completely remove slavery and make them considered as a "real person". Just like in women, the Revolution inspired slaves for equality, freedom and independence that would help them in the future. It affected them because they thought that they were going to have a new path but really they continued with slavery. Slavery continued after the war despite the efforts of African-American soldiers. It affected them because they did more critics on slavery.

Native Americans:
The American Revolution didn't affect directly the native americans. It affected them because when the colonists won, it was official they had lost vast territories and would have to share land extensions with colonists. The Procclamation of 1763 wasnt so forceful after the war, because the colonists were independent from the King and he couldnt give them orders anymore. The Procclamation of 1763 kept colonists east of the Appalachian Mts, just so you remember. France owed a large piece of land that was west of the Appalachian, and the colonists eventually bought it. Further on, they also took hold of the area around California and Florida. So as you see, the Natives were being taken away from lands and this led them to live in reservations. Nowadays, natives can live anywhere they want but many choose to live in reservations.
