In order to assess the significance of the Revolutionary War on different social groups, you need to look at the lives of the people in these groups before and after. Specifically, you are looking to see if any real changes took place, therefore showing how significant the wars were.
When it comes to women, we know that the Revolutionary War was significant. Firstly, it was significant because many women participated in the war as nurses or even as spies—but more importantly, when men went off to fight, women had to assume their roles and responsibilities both inside and outside of the home. For some women, the Revolutionary War brought freedom and their first participation in business. Of course, some women followed their husbands and fathers to war and lived in military camps, which dramatically changed their lives. For more of an insight into this, take a look at Reference 1.
Similarly, slaves were also impacted by the Revolutionary War. For example, we know that thousands of slaves participated in the fighting, and this enabled many to win their freedom. However, the desire for American independence from Britain did not dramatically alter America attitudes to slave-keeping. For more information, take a look at Reference 2.
