Abstract
The institution of slavery is undermined by the Revolutionary War. Many slaves run away, serving in the Continental Army and eventually gaining their freedom. There is widespread belief that slavery will come to an end because of its incompatibility with the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. Although the North does move to free blacks, this does not happen in South, causing great disillusionment and charges of hypocrisy. Disillusionment also exists among native Americans. Although members of the Indian nations were not part of the Paris Peace talks, and few were involved in the actual fighting, the United States laid claim to Indian country after the war because they had won the war and conquered their enemies.
