The American Revolution included many different events, many of which were non-violent. It was a fight between the British and the Americans between 1776 and 1783 and took place all through the 13 colonies.

The pen had a greater impact on the outcome of the American Revolution because of the Declaration of Independence, the Stamp Act Congress, and the Northwest Ordinance which had an impact on many people without the use of violence.

The Declaration

In one of the readings, after the Stamp Act took place, the patriots reacted and so it states, “The colonists wanted to reply to the Stamp Act. Many citizens from different colonies gathered to form a group.” This reveals that the colonies all came together to fight against how the British taxed them on paper goods.

Secondly, in the same text, when the narrator mentioned that Native Americans were involved in this, it stated, “The Northwest Ordinance guaranteed citizens of new states the same civil rights as people in other states, while also stating that Native American ‘lands and property shall never be taken from them without their consent.’ ” This illustrates that the Native Americans were being treated properly throughout this whole process.
