The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were both breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.
America’ s War of Independence heralded the birth of modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population form the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer——the United States——based itself squarely on republican principles.
Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home - grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.
In the first paragraph, what does the author suggest about the French and Russian Revolution?
选项
A、They were explosive and abrupt.
B、They were ineffective.
C、They involved only those people living in urban areas.
D、They led to the release of all political prisoners.
答案
A
解析
根据文章第一段第二句话可得知,这次革命不同于后来在已经是独立国家的法国和俄国所爆发的革命,它并不是对政治和社会框架的一次突然和猛烈的颠覆。由此可得出答案为A。
