What influence did the War of Independence have on the development of the United States?

The American War of Independence was the first large-scale colonial war for national independence in the history of the world. Its victory opened the gap in the British colonial system and set an example for the colonial national liberation war. The War of Independence was a bourgeois revolution, which overthrew British colonial rule and founded the United States of America. At the same time, the feudal remnants of the colonial period were eradicated, such as the eldest son inheritance law, the restriction of inheritance law and the service tax, and the slavery contract was basically abolished. Thus liberating the productive forces and opening up a broad road for the development of American capitalism. As Lenin said: "The history of modern civilized America began with a great, truly liberated and truly revolutionary war."

The victory of American War of Independence promoted the bourgeois revolution in Europe and Latin America. It ended British colonial rule, realized national independence and established a relatively democratic bourgeois political system, which was conducive to the development of American capitalism and promoted the revolution in Europe and Latin America in the future.
