Before the Revolution it was hard. The Indians were there. People often died on the way to America, many were religios and left Britain due to being religiously persecuted. There were indians in America and they had various fights with them


After the Revolution rich american statesmen took power. First govt was a plutocracy. which means it was for the rich.
If you look through American history, many examples can be cited to prove these claims. In 1741 John Hancock devalued the Massachusetts currency to curb inflation; this reduced huge numbers of workers to poverty. In Pennsylvania, white males had to have fifty pounds of ‘lawful money’ or own fifty acres of land to vote. This ensured that the wealthy people could shape the laws to suit themselves. Laws and systems like these had a huge effect on the economy. The rich kept getting richer, and the poorer kept getting poorer. In 1687 the top one percent owned twenty five percent of the wealth. In 1770 the top one percent owned forty four percent of the wealth.

It in most cases feels adore it. Our 2 political events have very distinctive recommendations as to what those United States must be and I do not feel we will be able to be each. It is a laugh to me that our variations are throughout disorders that have been confronted through different Countries already. In Europe, as I realise it, there may be motion clear of social spending when you consider that the Governments have identified the investment imbalance it creates. In China(the 'Communists') they've little or no social spending when you consider that they can not find the money for it. I discover it fascinating that only a few individuals have performed the specific math, for those who upload up the budgets for Government Health Care Spending(or many different locations of spending) you discover we already spend extra consistent with capita than many Countries with Universal Coverage. Go Figure! Some individuals believe the 'Bill of Rights' was once a select & opt for buffet. Each enumerated Right will spark pages of dialogue. I love my land up to any Patriot, however it's for the Constitution I have Passion, and I have sworn to help & preserve it towards all enemies, international & home. In the top despite the fact that, the one geographical divide that form of exists is among the Urban & Rural, and that's now not cast. Any civil unrest might now not rather coalesce into struggle strains, so I believe we might simply need to paintings it out. We would pass right into a 'tough patch' someday quickly and probably it's going to be referred to as a Revolution, however now not all out warfare, I pray now not!

Both before and after the American Revolution everyone had to pay taxes. That didn't change. But what changed is where the taxes went.

You should research this...however to broadly answer your broad question, life under British rule was more restricted and guarded than it was under the Articles of Confederation and later the Constitution.

Time for you to do some research and reading so you can say the answers are yours and not the responses of others used as your own. That, my dear, is cheating.

Chow!!

It was good and bad before, and it was good and bad after.

Pretty broad question. You want to narrow that down to something more specific?
