Between 1720 and 1820 several events, changes and processes occurred in America. The three events I choose to analyze are: the Great Awakening, the Revolution and the Market Economy. Each of these events had a cultural, social and economic aspect. Each of these events had different impacts and manifested itself in many different ways. The first event I will analyze is The Great Awakening. “The Great Awakening crossed boundaries of class, status, and education” (Boyer “Bonds of Empire,” P. 86). “American Protestantism was divided” (Bond “Bonds of Empire”, P. 87). “In 1741 the Old and New Light Presbyterians formed rival branches that reunited in 1758 when the revivalists emerged victorious” (Boyer “Bonds of Empire,” P. 87). “Members of the Anglican churches began to leave and go to the Presbyterians and New Light Baptists” (Boyer “Bonds of Empire,” P. 87). “The Great Awakening spurred the founding of new colleges unmarred by religious wars” (Boyer “Bonds of Empire,” P. 87). With the Great Awakening the cultural effect was that they found different churches where others could go and had more fun. They also found colleges that are really famous today. The next event I have chosen to analyze is The Revolution. During the Revolution, there were social changes that affected different races, classes, and genders. The four groups on which the Revolution had an effect on social change were: white men, white women, black Americans, and Native Americans. With the Revolution affecting white men “wearing home-made clothing in support of the boycott of British goods” (Boyer, “Defining Nationhood,” p. 128). When Virginia planters organized militia companies in 1775, they wore simple hunting shirts so as not to embarrass the poorer farmer by his clothing so they could enlist” (Boyer, “Defining Nationhood,” p. 128) . While men were at war, “women stayed at home and managed families, households, farms, and businesses alone” (Boyer, “Defining Nationhood,” P. 129). For Black Americans, he began to show others that slavery was not a good thing. “The war, however, presented new opportunities for African Americans” (Boyer, “Defining Nationhood,” P. 130). “The slaves even tried to escape from the confusion that was occurring and posed as free men” (Boyer, “Defining Nationhood,” p. 130). Although the Revolution showed new opportunities for African Americans, it “did not end slavery or bring equality to free blacks, but began a process by which slavery could be extinguished” (Boyer “Defining Nationhood,” p..
