How Did the American Revolution Impact the Whole World?

People born in the British colonies in North America considered themselves Americans and treated the

area they lived in as their home. Even though they were supposedly British as they had British

descendants, the British monarchy did not consider them so and treated them unjustly, which made

them revolt against the British Crown. What do you think would have happened if the British had ruled
their colonies fairly and considered the people who live in the colonies British as well? Would the people

born in the colonies have revolted and demanded their freedom? How did the American Revolution have

an impact on the whole world and not just on the United States of America?

The Constitution was written by the Founding Fathers of the United States
