Creating Republican Governments, 1776-1790 WHAT RACE MEANS Slavery had been a permanent institution in America for more than a century by the time of the American Revolution. The Revolution contributed significantly to the perpetuation of racial stereotypes among White Americans. They saw the new country as a White republic in which Native Americans had no role and Black people were slaves. Because so many Black slaves escaped their masters in search of the freedom the British promised, racial hatred of Black people grew throughout the Revolution. Similarly, Native Americans who sided with the British faced similar circumstances; Jefferson stated in the Declaration of Independence that the reason for breaking away from the Empire was George Ill's incitement of "the merciless Indian savages" to exterminate the White settlers along the border. Likewise, Great Britain was responsible for encouraging "the Indians and Negroes to destroy us," according to Thomas Paine's argument in Common Sense. Benjamin Franklin, on his part, predicted in the 1780s that drunkenness would eventually drive out Native Americans, freeing the country for White colonists.
