The American Revolution was a political upheaval during the last half of the 18th century, in which thirteen colo- nies in North America joined together to break free from the British Empire, combining to become the United States of America. They first rejected the authority of the Parliament of Great Britain to govern them from over- seas without representation, and then expelled all royal officials. 2. By 1774, each colony had established a Provincial Congress, or an equivalent governmental institution, to form individual self-governing states. The British responded by sending combat troops to re-impose direct rule. Through representatives sent in 1775 to the Second Continental Congress, the new states joined together, initial- ly, to defend their respective self-governance and manage the armed conflict against the British, known as the American Revolutionary War. Ultimately, the states collectively determined that the British monarchy, due to its acts of tyranny, could no longer legitimately claim their allegiance. They then severed ties with the British Empire in July, 1776, when the Congress issued the Declaration of Independence, rejecting the monarchy on behalf of the new nation. The war ended with effective American victory in October, 1781, followed by formal British abandon- ment of any claims to the United States with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. 3. The American Revolution initiated a series of social, political and intellectual transformations in early American society and government. Americans rejected the oligarchies common in aristocratic Europe at the time, champi- oning, instead, the development of republicanism based on the Enlightenment understanding of liberalism.

Talking Points Among the significant results of the revolution was the creation of a representative government responsible to the will of the people. However, sharp political debates erupted over the appropriate level of democracy desirable in the new government, with a number of Founders fearing mob rule. Many fundamental issues of national govern- ance were settled with the ratification of the Constitution of the United States in1788. II Review - The French and Indian War 1. The French Indian War caused huge losses of man and material for both sides. The British forces succeeded and ascertained their military supremacy. The most important French Indian War effect was that The British got the right to keep all of Canada in addition to obtaining some other benefits like trading and sea routes in North Ameri- ca. 2. The British victory in the French and Indian War had a great impact on the British Empire. Firstly, it meant a great expansion of British territorial claims in the New World. But the cost of the war had greatly enlarged Britain's debt. Moreover, the war generated substantial resentment towards the colonists among English leaders, who were not satisfied with the financial and military help they had received from the colonists during the war. All these factors combined to persuade many English leaders that the colonies needed a major reorganization and that the central authority should be in London. The English leaders set in motion plans to give London more control over the gov- ernment of the colonies and these plans were eventually a big part of the colonial resentment towards British im- perial policies that led to the American Revolution.

The war had an equally profound but very different effect on the American colonists. First of all, the colonists had learned to unite against a common foe. Before the war, the thirteen colonies had found almost no common ground and they coexisted in mutual distrust. But now they had seen that together they could be a power to be reckoned with. And the next common foe would be Britain. 4. With France removed from North America, the vast interior of the continent lay open for the Americans to colo- nize. But The English government decided otherwise. To induce a controlled population movement, they issued a Royal Proclamation that prohibited settlement west of the line drawn along the crest of the Allegheny mountains and to enforce that measure they authorized a permanent army of 10,000 regulars (paid for by taxes gathered from the colonies; most importantly the "Sugar Act" and the "Stamp Act"). This infuriated the Americans who, after having been held back by the French, now saw themselves stopped by the British in their surge west. 5. For the Indians of the Ohio Valley, the third major party in the French and Indian War, the British victory was disas- trous. Those tribes that had allied themselves with the French had earned the enmity of the victorious English.

  • Road to Revolution
    Road to Revolution 1760-1775 In 1607 The Virginia Company of London, an English trading company, planted the first permanent English settlement in North America at Jamestown. The successful establishment of this colony was no small achievement as the English had attempted to plant a colony in North America since the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in the l6th century. The Virginia Company operated under a royal charter, granted by King James I, which assured the original settlers they would have all liberties, franchises and immunities as if they had been “abiding and born within England.” By 1760, England and Scotland had united into the Kingdom of Great Britain and her settlements in North America had grown to thirteen thriving colonies with strong cultural, economic, and political ties to the mother country. Each colony enjoyed a certain amount of self- government. The ties which bound Great Britain and her American colonies were numerous. Wealthy men in the colonies, such as George Washington, used British trading companies as their agents to conduct business. Young men from prominent families, like Arthur Lee, went to Great Britain to finish their schooling. Colonial churches benefited from ministers who were educated in Great Britain. Many of the brightest men in the colonies, such as Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, James Otis of Massachusetts, and Peyton Randolph of Virginia, served the British government as appointed officials. What then caused these strong ties to unravel after 1760? What caused the American colonists to revolt against their mother country in 1775? Though not recognized by most people at the time, economic and political forces beginning in 1760 on both sides of the Atlantic would force Great Britain and her American colonies to reassess their long relationship.

  • Revolutionary Rum: Economic Exploration That Ignited The
    Revolutionary Rum: Economic Exploration that Ignited the American Revolution Kaylan Wait Junior Division Historical Paper Word Count: 2497 1 During Paul Revere’s renowned ride from Boston to Lexington warning John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British approach, he stopped to drink a rum toddy in a Medford, Massachusetts tavern. Many would assume his drink of choice would be “Liberty Tea”, a substitute for real tea made from tisanes and consumed in protest of British tyranny.1 The dumping of British East India Company tea during the Boston Tea Party is recognized as the first purposeful revolutionary act by the English colonies. Because of this deed, tea is seen as the revolutionary drink, but it was rum that incited the American Revolution. Rum, an alcoholic beverage made from molasses and cultivated from sugarcane in tropical regions, initiated New England’s exploration of a self­reliant economy. When Britain began to tax the rum trade, the colonies’ most lucrative asset, colonial resentment grew, fostering contempt towards Parliament. The colonists encountered a mother country excessively regulating them, while Parliament encountered disobedient colonies. Attempting to gain control of her settlements, Parliament taxed colonial foreign trade, initiating an exchange of regulation for rebellion between the motherland and the colonies. Therefore, British regulation of the rum trade was the spark that ignited the rebellion which founded our nation. ​ ​ Rum’s influence on the founding of America arose from Europe’s desire to colonize the New World. Colonialism is the practice of domination by one country subjugating another region 2 for monetary or influential gain.

Retrieved from http://www.revolutionspodcast.com/page/3/ Remember … 1. British victory in the French and Indian War enlarged her colonial empire 2. But victory was CO$TLY! In response to these costs Britain wanted the colonists to pay their fair share. 3. British Parliament made decisions to try to control and pay for ( taxes) its empire. This ended British salutary neglect. 4. These actions led to differences between the colonists and Great Britain that would lead to war (and a new nation). After the French and Indian War Proclamation Line the Colonists clashed with Indian Tribes over land in the Ohio of 1763 Country and Great Lakes region in Pontiac’s Uprising. American assemblies organize their militias and pass taxes to fight Indian wars. King George III tried to balance the wants of colonists and tribes with the Proclamation Line of 1763. It ran roughly along the Appalachian Mountains: colonists were to stay east of the line and not settle on Native American lands. Land-hungry colonists ignored the proclamation, and the British could not enforce it. In order to protect the colonial The Quartering Act borders, troops were needed. Those troops needed somewhere to stay! The Quartering Act (1765) required colonists provide quarters (housing) for British soldiers. Colonists resented the troops, especially because they felt the major threat (the French) were gone. The Sugar Act Britain was roughly £122 million in debt from the war. British Prime Minister George Grenville thought the colonists should be taxed as well as British citizens.
