Answer 1

Most important documents? The Federalist Papers (all 80 something of them) which brought along the ratification of the Constitution. The Constitution of the US is the foundation for many constitutions of democratic countries. (Inspired the French, that'll never happen again.) The Articles of Confederation which showed us how not to do it. (Also, created the first American cabinet positions and ended the war with Britain.) There's always Thomas Paine's "Common Sense", which is a pamphlet that said that the people of the Americas needed to toss off the British.

The important wars would be the French and Indian War (caused the debt, which caused the taxes, which caused the colonists to be pissed off), the Revolutionary War (self explanatory, and the War of 1812 (which showed that the Americans could hold their own).

Answer 2

Our Revolutionary War deepened the struggle between France and England. They were old enemies by this time and fought a kind of "proxy war" in America. France sank a staggering amount of money and resources in aiding the American cause. In doing so, they accomplished two important things. First, they helped the Americans cost England its most important colonial holding. Second, it accelerated the bankruptcy of the French government, which was one of the big factors that led to the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon.

Answer 3

Well, the most important would be the Revolutionary War, which had an influence on the French Revolution as far as ideas are concerned. In fact, the French HELPED the U.S. get its independence because they were rivals of the British.

The Constitution was also important and many Western countries base their constitutions on ours.

Answer 4

I would say that it the Declaration of Independence itself. A group of educated and thoughtful people gathered together due to a crisis in government - failure to provide essential governmental services - and realized that they could do better themselves.

There are apocryphal stories about what happened to these men and their families - the important thing is that they were willing to risk their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" in order to have some say in the running of their lives.

The Declaration is a beautifully scripted, thoughtful document that clearly sets out the reasons for the rebellion and the philosophy behind it.

Answer 5

A big turning point was when Washington crossed the Delaware River and defeated the Hessians. It was the first major defeat for the British who hired the Hessians as mercinaries.

Answer 6

The independence of the USA could mean anything.

Certainly one thing that must be considered as one of the most important is the railroad. It linked our country together and provided untold expansion opportunities.
