How Has Equality Changed Social Relations

Equality changed social relations and social division that had determined the way of people viewed each other. The roles of women changed, the war inspired changes in the relationship between man and wife which became more liberal. The revolution also motivated African Americans to resists slavery. The institution became stronger in the south, and slaves began to speak out and petition against the slave trade. Although slavery was not abolished until 100 years later, Thomas Jefferson made it clear that all men should be created equal.
