QUESTION IS What role did the founders foresee for religion in American government and society?What was the impact of the American Revolution on Native Americans?How did the Revolution affect the way American women thought about their status, and what changes resulted from this new awareness?What changes did the Revolution produce in the structure of the American economy?THE ANSWERS ARE BELOW.RESPOND TO THE ANSWERS1.The Native Americans were very unfortunate after the American Revolution. They were divided during the war with some fighting for the British and some fighting against them. The Stockbridge tribe suffered huge losses fighting the British. The Iroquois suffered the most during the revolution. They chose to side with the British during the war. George Washington had General John Sullivan lead an expedition against them with the goal of total destruction. After the expedition General Sullivan had destroyed many bushels of corn, uprooted many fruit trees and vegetable gardens and burned forty towns. The Treaty of Paris dealt the biggest blow to Native Americans. The British abandoned and ignored them. They did this by agreeing to recognize American sovereignty over the entire area east the Mississippi River. This allowed Americans to complete ignore their presence. Liberty for the whites meant loss of liberty for Native Americans. What was interesting is that the phrase “the free exercise of religion” (Foner 2012), was the rallying cry after the Revolution but there were exceptions to that rule: all states except New York “barred Jews from voting and holding public office”, yet Catholics were able to worship without persecution (Foner 2012), and Protestants seemed to have more rights before and after the Revolution than any other denomination.A few years down the road, Thomas Jefferson drew up a bill that removed laws that required religion as a basis for voting and being able to hold office. James Madison believed that separation of church and state offered “asylum to the persecuted and oppressed of every nation and religion” (Foner 2012), yet religion remains one of the most contentious arguments of the day. Although the founding fathers tried to distance the government from being controlled by religion, the “Revolution did not end the influence of religion on American society” (Foner 2012).
