After the American Revolutionary War

After the American Revolutionary War numerous things started to change. Some things changed because of family relationships. Family relationships controlled most aspects of society. Usually a piece of land was past down from generation to generation between father and son. That changed after the United States expanded it’s border. In addition, the government changed. Government positions weren’t only for members of a certain family. Several people were fortunate enough to obtain positions.

Certain families were in control because of the status of their family. Families of rich decent made decisions on things because they were richer than others. This is why wealthy families controlled many things. For instance, an individual, from a wealthy family (known for a specific thing), would receive a position that they might not have been qualified for. An individual from a somewhat poor family might have been more qualified, however, they weren’t chosen because of their families status. That changed after the American Revolution, because people became more open-minded.
