Question: The United States was founded as the result of a successful military challenge against the British. However, a second "American Revolution" followed up the original revolution when the Civil War resulted in a fundamental realignment of the relationship between the federal government and the states creating in effect a different country. And still these two great military top down revolutions pale in comparison in their cultural effects when compared with the social revolutions of the twentieth century. Within the last one hundred years the very fiber of American society has been re-weaved several times over as social roles, structures and limitations have been challenged and altered resulting in a new social fabric.
