8 The Settlement of America During the Age of Exploration, Europeans began colonizing in North America England granted joint-stock charters to colonists who were searching for wealth or religious freedom From 1607 to 1733, England established 13 colonies in America; The colonies were very different & lacked unity
9 Economics & Government in America Define Mercantilism Text England used mercantilism to control colonial trade & increase their profits Despite these trade restrictions, the colonists made money trading with England Using the diagram to the left, how would you describe colonial assembly? England used a policy called salutary neglect which allowed colonists freedom to make their own laws & taxes Americans created own What do you thinktheir salutary colonial assemblies & enjoyed self neglect means? government
10 The French & Indian War ( ) For 150 years, colonists were happy with this relationship with England But, everything changed after the French & Indian War In 1754, England & France went to war for seven years over territory in America In 1763, England won the war & the Treaty of Paris gave England all French lands east of the Mississippi River... But the war left England with massive debts
11 To pay off war debts from the French & Indian War, Britain created a series of new taxes on the American colonists The colonists were upset that Parliament in England would pass laws without the colonists approval Their slogan became: No taxation without representation
12 Colonists responded to new taxes with boycotts (refusing to buy British goods that were taxed) Boycotts were effective, but the king & Parliament believed the Americans should obey British laws & took power away from the colonial assemblies
13 12/18/18 Do Now Think-Pair-Share During the decision to create an independent nation, do you think the Founding Fathers had the right idea about equality and justice? How do you feel about the social contract?
14 The Difference What gave the colonists hope was the opportunity to be gained by courage, cause, the home court advantage, and patriotism Unlike earlier European dynastic squabbles, the American Revolution was an ideological war that affected the population Remember, officers and soldiers, that you are freemen, fighting for the blessings of liberty; that slavery will be your portion and that of your posterity if you do not acquit yourselves like men. George Washington
15 From 1763 to 1776, tensions between the English government & the American colonists increased
16 The Enlightenment Sparks a Revolution The language of natural law, of inherent freedoms, of self-determination becomes the foundation of the revolution. Not really a classic revolution in the sense that a social class did not revolt against the one above it. Really more of a war for independence, but it did incorporate rhetoric from the Age of Enlightenment. American revolutionary leaders studied Locke and others. Thomas Jefferson borrows and expands on many of the ideals of the 1215 Magna Carta, the 1689 English Bill of Rights, and European philosophers.
17 Americans were literate & read books by leading Enlightenment thinkers, especially John Locke, & used these ideas to justify their protest People are born with natural rights, including life, liberty, property Kings can be overthrown if they violate peoples natural rights Government power comes from the consent of the governed
18 British abuses & Enlightenment ideas inspired Americans to declare independence Ben Franklin, John Adams, & Thomas Jefferson served on the committee to draft the Declaration of Independence
19 Title
20 Enlightenment Ideals American Colonies Natural Rights life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness Social Contract government s purpose serve & protect Freedom of speech, press, and religion Separation of Power legislative, judicial, & executive branches System of Checks and Balances Education CRITICAL Science and technology necessary to solve problems Ideas of human rights and social programs to help others
21 Declaration of Independence all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness Governments derive their power and authority from the consent of the governed When any government infringes upon individual s rights, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government Declared the colonies to be Free and Independent States
22 The Declaration of Independence Analysis What did the Declaration of Independence say & why was it such a revolutionary document? Small Group Activity using your Abridged Interpretation of the Declaration of Independence read, discuss and answer the follow-up questions.
23 Effects of Colonist Win Huge gamble for American colonies to wage war against the British France eager to gain revenge for earlier defeats in the French and Indian War Supply colonies with arms and troops Battle of Yorktown (Cornwallis vs Washington) British call it quits in 1781 with this defeat Treaty of Paris (1783)
24 The American Revolution lasted from 1775 to 1783 After 6 years of fighting, the Americans defeated the British at the Battle of Yorktown Brief summary of American Revolution Treaty of Paris, 1783
25 The founding fathers created a federal system that created a national government but allowed the 13 states to keep power & make their own laws. Government Structure Many of the ideas of the Enlightenment served as inspiration for the new national government of the United States
26 The American Revolution was an important event in world history It was the first time a colony overthrew its mother country It was the first time a gov t was created using Enlightenment ideas of limited government & individual liberty The success in America inspired revolutions in Europe & Latin America
27 American vs French Revolution Ideology The Americans sought independence from British imperial rule, but they kept British law and much of the British social and cultural heritage On the other hand, French revolutionaries sought to replace the ancien regime ( the old order ) with new political, social, and cultural structures

32 French Revolution - Overview The French Revolution took place from For centuries, the quality of life in Europe had been determined by the status that a person or family held. Inherited NOT EARNED! 97% of Europe s people struggled to survive while the remaining 3% lived a life of wealth and comfort. This gap between the wealthy and the poor created resentment.

40 Estates General The Three Estates First Estate: clergy Second Estate: nobility Third Estate: middle class and the poor One vote per estate Clergy and nobility usually joined together to outvote the Third Estate Met in Versailles in May 1789 Voting controversy
41 The Estates General First Estate The first estate was about 100,000 Roman Catholic clergy The second estate was about 400,000 nobles The third estate was about 24 million others (serfs, free peasants, laborers) In spite of these numerical discrepancies, each estate had one vote
42 The Estates General Second Estate Less then 2% of French population Held highest positions in Government and Army Paid few if any taxes, collected dues from peasants
43 The Estates General Third Estate The third estate demanded sweeping political and social reform, but the other two estates resisted On June 20, 1789, the third estate seceded from the Estates General and declared itself the National Assembly

48 Tennis Court Oath
49 Four Phases (Periods) of the French Revolution
50 National Assembly The Declaration of the Rights of Man and The Citizen In Aug 1789, the National Assembly issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen Obviously influenced by the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence Proclaimed the equality of all men, declared that sovereignty resided in the people, and asserted individual rights to liberty, prosperity, and security
51 National Assembly Reforms Restructured French society Ended the fees and labor services the peasants owed their landlords Seized church lands Abolished the first estate and defined clergy as civilians Required clergy to take an oath of loyalty to the state Made the king the chief executive but deprived him of legislative authority (a constitutional monarchy) Men of property could vote for legislators The motto of the National Assembly was Liberty, equality, fraternity
52 Constitution of 1791 Democratic features France became a limited monarchy All laws were created by the Legislative Assembly Feudalism was abolished Undemocratic features Voting was limited to taxpayers Offices were reserved for property owners This new government became known as the Legislative Assembly
53 National Assembly to Convention Fearful the National Assembly s ideas would spread, the rulers of Austria and Prussia invaded France to support the king and restore the ancien regime The revolutionaries responded by establishing the Convention, a new legislative body elected by universal male suffrage The Convention abolished the monarchy and proclaimed France a republic
54 The National Convention First met on September 21, 1792 Revolutionary Calendar Monarchy abolished; France officially becomes a republic Factions: Jacobins vs. Girondins A Jacobin club
55 Leaders in the National Convention Georges Danton Jacobin leader who helped organize the attack on the Tuileries and the overthrow of the monarchy. In the new republic, he became Minister of Justice. Jean-Paul Marat early Jacobin leader who advocated abolishing the monarchy Supported Sept 1792 massacres. Stabbed to death in his tub by a Girondin young lady named Charlotte Corday
56 Maximillian Robespierre Led the radical Jacobin party which believed France needed complete restructuring and used a campaign of terror to promote their agenda Dominated the Convention from With the other Jacobins, he sought to eliminate the influence of Christianity Closed churches Forced priests to take wives Promoted a new cult of reason as a secular alternative Devised a new calendar which recognized no day of religious observance Between the summers of 1793 and 1794, the Jacobins executed 40,000 people and imprisoned 300,000
57 The Reign of Terror After the revolution, a group of Third Estate citizens formed the Jacobins and attempted to gain control of France s government. led by Maximillian Robespierre. Seeing that the Revolution would go on forever if certain portions of the population were allowed to live, the Jacobins decided that they would crush any resistance within their new nation. They established neighborhood watches to find anyone who was not loyal. These watches would turn in suspected traitors, who would often be put to death on the Guillotine. This time period of purging France s population that did not support the Jacobin s was known as The Reign of Terror
58 Reign of Terror Committee on Public Safety Despite military successes, the Convention continued to face problems domestically Danton and his Jacobin political party came to dominate French politics Committee of Public Safety Headed by Danton (and later Robespierre) Those accused of treason were tried by the Committee s Revolutionary Tribunal Approximately 15,000 people died on the guillotine
59 Reaction from Other Countries Declaration of Pillnitz Possible foreign intervention Illustration depicting Prussian King Frederick William III, Austrian Emperor Leopold II, and the Comte d Artois, Louis XVI s brother
60 Reign of Terror The Directory Many of the victims of the reign of terror were fellow radicals who were no longer seen as alliances with Robespierre and the Jacobins In July 1794, the Convention arrested Robespierre and his allies, convicted them of treason, and executed them A group of conservative men of property seized power and ruled from 1795 to 1799 under a new institution called the Directory The Directory sought a middle way between the ancien regime and radical revolution but had little success In Nov 1799,Napoleon Bonaparte staged a coup d etat and seized power
61 The Thermidorean Reaction Robespierre overthrown on 9 Thermidor Committee of Public Safety dismantled Jacobin clubs disbanded New constitution adopted in August 1795 Executive branch known as the Directory 9 Thermidor meeting of the National Convention
62 Napoleon Bonaparte Napoleon was born to a wealthy family in Corsica involved in Corsica s rebellion During the French Revolution he served as an artillery commander, by age 24 he became a general After the Revolution, he kept European armies from invading France He helped rebuild France s interior and was awarded as France s protector and interim ruler France would retain the church lands seized during the Revolution, but France agreed to pay priests salaries, recognize Roman Catholic Christianity as the preferred faith of France, and extend freedom of religion to Protestants and Jews Soon he begins to invade all of Europe, winning almost every battle, but in Russia most of his army is killed or froze and Napoleon is exiled. Shortly after he returns, raises a new army, sells half of France s lands in the New World to America then is defeated for good at Waterloo, Belgium. Napoleon dies alone 6 years later as an outlaw in exile
