The line between slavery/indentured servitude (unfree labor) and free labor became more distinct. Slaves and indentured servants benefitted from the change in economic freedom in some parts of the country. In other parts, this change in economic freedom made them firmly slaves, not citizens.
Marisa:
The new definition of freedom (after the Revolution) was linked to equality, religious toleration, and labor.
Equality like I explained up above.
Freedom of worship before the Revolution came from religious pluralism
Labor:
The decline of slavery in the north. The north now depended upon free labor the notion that you could work for wages. Slavery still persisted in the south. Many owners in fact, voluntarily emancipated their slaves.
People who benefitted from the changes:
1. Decline of slavery (slaves)
2. Religious groups experienced more liberty (religious groups and minorities)
3. Blacks challenged slavery and won their
freedom (blacks)
4. Women enjoyed high status (women)
People who did not benefit:
For Indians, Loyalists, and other slaves American independence created a deprivation of freedom
