Chapter 5 LEP Boot Camp Chapter 5 LEP Boot Camp Rationale: In order to facilitate efficient comprehension of the LEP, we will be doing an “LEP Boot Camp” this week. This should help you manage the LEP better, take better notes, find the main idea easier, succeed on the reading quizzes, improve on the tests and ultimately pass the AP US History exam. Directions: For each “Green Section” (green sections are the sub-sections under each blue section) do the following: o Read the Sub-Title and the associated Main Idea Question: Think about 1)how the title relates to the Main Idea Question 2) what the question is asking 3)what the form of the answer will be 4)what kind of information should you be looking for and 5)what you think the answer will be (remember to be flexible about your correctness). o Read the Section: Read the section with all of the above in mind. Don’t take notes while you go. Read for comprehension and try to answer the Main Idea Question in your head. o Generate a Rank Ordered Vocabulary List: List Specific Factual Information (SFI) in order of most to least important (you can leave off the stuff that’s not critically important). Remember that SFI can be people, documents, dates, historical vocabulary, etc… To find out what should be on the list think about the following questions. 1) Which SFI best helps you answer the Main Idea Question? 2) Which SFI is essential for answering the question versus which is nice detail? o Define Your Vocabulary Words: Make sure to clearly say what it is and why its significant o Write a Main Idea Statement: Answer the Main Idea Question in one complete sentence that restates the question and completely answers it. For each “Blue Section” (these are the sections that contain all the green sections) o Write a paragraph that answers the Blue Section Main Idea Question. o Make sure that your paragraph has the following or it will be incomplete. It should start with a Thesis Statement or Topic Sentence (TS) that restates the question and completely answers it. It should have at least 3-4 supporting sentences with important SFI from each sub- section. It should have Interpretive Commentary (IC). This is YOU showing how the SFI helps answer the question. It should have a Clincher Sentence (CS). This should restate the TS and NOT introduce new information, SFI or topics. It should be an intelligent restating of the Main Idea in your own words that shows that you “get it”. Assessment & Grading This will be a graded assignment. It will count for the equivalent number of reading quizzes (or more depending on what Pate and Thompson think). Do your best and remember that you can read the LEP and improve your reading level. You CAN read at a college level and we are here to help you. Good luck! Chapter 5 Optional Thesis Practice & Guided Reading Questions 1. How did the successful waging of the Seven Years War ultimately lead to revolution in the 13 American colonies? (OR: How and why did a resistance movement, dedicated to protecting the colonists’ rights as Englishmen, end by proclaiming American independence instead?) 1.1. What factors led to and what repercussions resulted from British efforts to reform relationships with American colonies? 1.1.1. How did King George’s and the earl of Bute’s fears lead to the rise of George Grenville? 1.1.2. How were Grenville’s policies toward the colonies both more coercive than preceding actions, but less harsh than most modern Americans would presume? 1.1.3. What reactions did Pontiac’s War provoke in both the colonies and Britain? 1.1.4. How did colonists react to the Sugar Act and how did the act lead to a war on smugglers? 1.1.5. How did the Currency and Quartering Acts increase tensions between the colonists and Britain? 1.1.6. What was the rationale for Britain’s Stamp Act and why did it mark a drastic change in colony policy? 1.2. How did the Stamp Act Crisis transform patterns of resistance in the colonies? 1.2.1. What role did the Sons of Liberty play in the nullification of the Stamp Act? 1.2.2. How did Britain legislate the end of the crisis and why did this cause misunderstanding between Britain and the colonies? 1.3. How did the Townshend crisis ultimately make imperial harmony impossible? 1.3.1. What was the purpose of the Townshend plan and how did it propose to accomplish its goals? 1.3.2. What role did the Circular Letter, the sloop Liberty, and non-importation agreements play in colonial resistance to the Townshend program? 1.3.3. How did British attempts at military coercion in Boston actually lead to wider colonial dissent against British policies? 1.3.4. How did the Wilkite movement compound colonial concerns about British attempts to limit liberty? 1.3.5. How could the Boston Massacre be seen as a product of escalating tension and violence in colonial America? 1.3.6. How did Lord North’s plan of partial repeal lead to the collapse of unified colonial resistance to the Townshend duties? 1.3.7. How did the maintenance of the tea duty and the Gaspee Affair bring Britain to a political precipice in its colonial policies? 1.4. How could rural discontent, regulator movements, antislavery & women’s support affect the development of resistance in the colonies? (OR: Why did colonial resistance create a “contagion of liberty” in the American colonies?) 1.4.1. How and to what extent did the feudal revival of manorial charters fuel rural discontent? 1.4.2. ***** SUPER IMPORTANT***** How was the regulator movement in both North and South Carolina an expression of independence and how did it exacerbate tensions between the coastal and backcountry regions? 1.4.3. How did the “liberty” movement affect both attitudes about slavery and the role of women? 1.5. How did the Tea Act and ensuing responses by both colonists and the British create an imperial crisis? 1.5.1. Why did the Tea Act, which benefited colonial pocketbooks and the East India Company, provoke the Bostonians to destroy hundreds of chests of tea? 1.5.2. Though thoughtfully crafted to specifically punish Massachusetts, why did the Coercive Acts taken with the Quebec Act provoke colonial anger toward and suspicion of British colonial policy? 1.5.3. How did the explosive radicalization of New England in the wake of the Intolerable Acts create an untenable situation for General Gage? 1.5.4. What did the First Continental Congress propose and how did the delegates see themselves within a broader British empire? (Were they revolutionary?) 1.5.5. How did Lord North in England both attempt to end the colonial crisis with force and diplomacy and why was he unsuccessful? 1.6. Why is it appropriate to describe the first two years of the war as an “improvised war”? 1.6.1. Unlike the First Continental Congress, how and why did the Second Continental Congress act more like a government than an organizer of protests? (additionally know Olive Branch Petition, Bunker Hill, & Continental Army) 1.6.2. What events during 1775 led to the solidification of colonial control of the 13 American colonies? 1.6.3. How did Common Sense and British actions ultimately lead to a declaration of independence by the American colonies? 2. LEP describes this chapter as a “series of self-fulfilling prophecies” between Britain and its colonies. Assess this statement in the form of a thesis statement. .

  • The Gaspee Affair As Conspiracy by Lawrence J
    The Gaspee Affair as Conspiracy By Lawrence J. DeVaro, Jr. Rhode Island History, October 1973, pp. 106-121 Digitized and reformatted from .pdf available on-line courtesy RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1973_Oct.pdf On the afternoon of June 9, 1772, His Majesty's schooner Gaspee grounded on a shoal called Namquit Point in Narragansett Bay. From the time of their arrival in Rhode Island's waters in February, the Gaspee and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had been the cause of much commercial frustration of local merchants. Dudingston was insolent, described by one local newspaper as more imperious and haughty than the Grand Turk himself. Past accounts of his pettish nature followed him from port to port.[1] The lieutenant was also shrewd. Aware that owners of seized vessels — rather than navy captains deputized in the customs service — would triumph in any cause brought before Rhode Island's vice-admiralty court, Dudingston had favored the district vice-admiralty court at Boston instead, an option available to customs officials since 1768.[2] Aside from threatening property of Rhode Islanders through possible condemnation of seizures, utilization of the court at Boston invigorated opposition to trials out of the vicinage, a grievance which had irritated merchants within the colony for some time.[3] Finally the lieutenant was zealous — determined to be a conscientious customs officer even if it meant threatening Rhode Island's flourishing illicit trade in non-British, West-Indian molasses. Governor Joseph Wanton of Rhode Island observed that Dudingston also hounded little packet boats as they plied their way between Newport and Providence.

  • THE CORRESPONDENCE of ISAAC CRAIG DURING the WHISKEY REBELLION Edited by Kenneth A
    "SUCH DISORDERS CAN ONLY BE CURED BY COPIOUS BLEEDINGS": THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ISAAC CRAIG DURING THE WHISKEY REBELLION Edited by Kenneth A. White of the surprisingly underutilized sources on the early history Oneof Pittsburgh is the Craig Papers. Acase inpoint is Isaac Craig's correspondence during the Whiskey Rebellion. Although some of his letters from that period have been published, 1 most have not. This omission is particularly curious, because only a few eyewitness ac- counts of the insurrection exist and most ofthose were written from an Antifederalist viewpoint. These letters have a value beyond the narration of events, how- ever. One of the questions debated by historians is why the federal government resorted to force to put down the insurrection. Many have blamed Alexander Hamilton for the action, attributing it to his per- sonal approach to problems or to his desire to strengthen the central government. 2 These critics tend to overlook one fact : government officials make decisions based not only on their personal philosophy but also on the facts available to them. As a federal officer on the scene, Craig provided Washington and his cabinet with their informa- Kenneth White received his B.A. and M.A.degrees from Duquesne Uni- versity.

  • The Muse of Fire: Liberty and War Songs As a Source of American History
    3 7^ A'£?/</ THE MUSE OF FIRE: LIBERTY AND WAR SONGS AS A SOURCE OF AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Kent Adam Bowman, B.A., M.A Denton, Texas August, 1984 Bowman, Kent Adam, The Muse of Fire; Liberty and War Songs as a Source of American History. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1984, 337 pp., bibliography, 135 titles. The development of American liberty and war songs from a few themes during the pre-Revolutionary period to a distinct form of American popular music in the Civil War period reflects the growth of many aspects of American culture and thought. This study therefore treats as historical documents the songs published in newspapers, broadsides, and songbooks during the period from 1765 to 1865. Chapter One briefly summarizes the development of American popular music before 1765 and provides other introductory material. Chapter Two examines the origin and development of the first liberty-song themes in the period from 1765 to 1775. Chapters Three and Four cover songs written during the American Revolution. Chapter Three describes battle songs, emphasizing the use of humor, and Chapter Four examines the figures treated in the war song. Chapter Five covers the War of 1812, concentrating on the naval song, and describes the first use of dialect in the American war song. Chapter Six covers the Mexican War (1846-1848) and includes discussion of the aggressive American attitude toward the war as evidenced in song.

  • Revolutionary War, and Maybe More Importantly, the Events That Led up to the Revolutionary War
    Cold Open: In the late 18th century, a relatively small group of rag-tag American colonists would defeat the military of the most powerful empire in the world - the British Empire - and they gave birth to a nation that would itself soon become the most powerful nation in the world, the United States of America. A nation that ironically would save Britain and the rest of Europe from almost certain defeat at the hands of the Nazis just over a century- and-a-half later. Today, just days after the 4th of July, America’s Independence Day commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States signed on July 4, 1776, we’re breaking down the events of the Revolutionary War, and maybe more importantly, the events that led up TO the Revolutionary War. Following the end of the French and Indian War in 1763 that kept France from kicking early American colonizers out of the Ohio River valley and perhaps off of the continent itself, Britain was deeply in debt and decided to tax the American colonies to help repay that debt. And the colonists, well… they didn’t care for that decision. They didn’t like taxes. And they really didn’t like how they had no say when it came to being taxed They were irritated by that whole “taxation without representation” situation. And the harder Britain tried to collect money for a war that did in fact protect and save its early American colonists, the more those colonists grew weary of being governed by a nation that they felt less and less like a part of, a nation that felt more and more like a foreign ruler.
