The American Nation A History of the United States, Combined Volume (14th Edition)

Chapter Review 141

Review Questions

1.The introduction for this chapter states that the
American victory over Britain was not inevitable.
Do you agree? What might the British have done
differently to improve their chances of winning the
war? And how might the Patriots have lost the war?
2.Which of the following was the most important:
Washington’s morale-saving crossing of the
Delaware and defeat of Hessian troops in Trenton,
the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga, or the sur-
render of Cornwallis at Yorktown?

3.What were the main effects of the American

Revolution on women? On relations between

rich and poor?

4.The chapter concludes with two sections dis-

cussing how the American Revolution promoted a

sense of national consciousness. In what ways,

however, did the way that the Patriots prosecuted

the war reveal deep regional divisions?
