1 Chapter 21 AP World History REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD,

2 The American Revolution Main Idea Enlightenment ideas helped spur the American colonies to shed British rule and create a new nation Why it matters now The revolution created a republic, the United States of America, that became a model for many nations of the world.

3 Colonies grow large and populous during 1600 s and 1700 s Thrive economically with trade with Europe Britain s Navigation Act (1651) restrict trade Other trade laws add restrictions and taxes Colonists start to identify less as British Subjects Colonists and Britain win the French and Indian War Britain expected colonists to help pay for war Colonists benefited from victory Britain paid for the costs of the war

4 Passed Stamp Act help pay for cost of F&I war Taxation without representation Colonists protest tea tax with Boston Tea Party King George closes Boston Harbor and occupies Boston First Continental Congress meets in 1774 to discuss treatment of Boston King ignored complaints Second Continental Congress Shots fired at Lexington and Concord Second Continental Congress voted to raise army George Washington commander of army

5 Declaration of Independence Justified colonial rebellion Written by Thomas Jefferson Based heavily on Enlightenment Ideas John Locke asserted people could overthrow an unjust government Americans win Independence Despite military might colonists have advantages: Motivations for Freedom Assistance from French War was expensive for Britain British surrender at Yorktown 1781

6 New American Government Articles of Confederation first government Give more power to states than national government Constitutional Convention of 1787 Recognized the need for strong central government Separation of powers & checks and balances Federalist system-power between national and states Anti-Federalits Those who were opposed to the Constitution feared individual rights would be abused Federalists Supported Constitution and promised a Bill of Rights

7 Constitution and Bill of Rights Demonstrated Enlightenment rights could be put into practice so that reason and reform could succeed in government

8 1. Why did the colonist consider the stamp act as taxation without representation? 2. How did John Locke s notion of the social contract influence the American colonists? 3. Why were the colonists able to achieve victory in the American revolution? 4. Making inferences: Why might it be important to have a bill of rights that guarantees basic rights? 5.

Analyzing causes: Why do you think the colonist at first created such a weak central government? 7. Yellow book page 26 & 28, just number and letter.

9 FRENCH REVOLUTION AND NAPOLEON,

10 The French Revolution Begins Main Idea -Economic and social inequalities in the Old Regime helped cause the French Revolution. Why It Matters Now -Throughout history, economic and social inequalities have at times led peoples to revolt against their governments.

12 King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette High taxes damage the economy in 1780s, had to pay for American Revolution Inherit large debt Spends extravagantly despite debt Banks refuse to lend more money Madame Deficit Louis XVI didn t care about governing High grain prices due to bad harvests created a starving population Louis XVI s poor leadership makes the problems worse

13 Louis XVI Calls Estates General Meeting of representatives from all three estates Louis calls it to help fix economy by taxes Third Estate wanted changes The king refused to change rules of Estates General Sieyes suggests Third Estate start a new legislature The National Assembly Pass laws and reforms in the name of the French people First step towards revolution Tennis Court Oath 1789 Pledge to stay until a new Constitution was written

14 Storming the Bastille Started by rumors Louis XVI wanted to shut down National Assembly as well as attack by foreign invaders Symbol of oppression Mob attacks the Bastille and kills guards July 14, 1789 viewed as France s Independence Day A Great Fear Sweeps France Rumors and panic spread Attacks by peasants all over country Peasants destroy legal papers binding them to feudal system Women march on Versailles from Paris because of rising bread costs Force Louis XVI to return to Paris from Versailles

21 Revolution Brings Reform and Terror Main Idea -The revolutionary government of France made reforms but also used terror and violence to retain power. Why It Matters Now -Some governments that lack the support of a majority of their people still use fear to control their citizens.

22 Revolution Brings Reform and Terror

23 Assembly Reforms France The National Assembly adopts the Rights of Man and of the Citizen MEN (not women) are Born and remain free and equal in rights Natural rights of man; these rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression. Slogan, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity To pay debt Assembly seizes church lands Turns clergy into public officials- Civil Constitution of the Clergy Alarms peasants, who are devout Catholics Drives a wedge between peasants and the Assembly

24 Louis XVI tries to flee France Fears for his future Revolutionaries catch him near Netherlands border National Assembly establishes a limited Constitutional Monarchy Louis only has executive powers Only men over 25yrs who paid a certain amount of taxes could vote Still only wealthy can serve in government but not necessarily noble Legislative Assembly has the power to create laws and approve or prevent any war the King may declare

25 Divisions develop Major problems persist including debt and food shortages Within the National Assembly 3 groups develop Radicals- wanted sweeping changes Moderates- wanted some changes Conservatives- wanted few changes Outside the legislature divisions deepen Emigres- nobles who fled France and wanted to undo the revolution Parisian wage earners- wanted the revolution to expand Known as Sans-Culottes

26 War and Execution European countries watched France Didn t want revolution to spread Austria and Prussia urged France to restore Louis XVI France responds by declaring war War goes badly for France Prussian forces threaten Paris Parisian mob throws royal family in jail Rumors spread jailed loyalists are planning to escape and take over Mob attacks jail and kills over 1,000 people France becomes a Republic Afraid of attack,radicals and the Assembly dissolves itself and abolishes Monarchy National Convention takes control

27 Radical Jacobins take control Jean-Paul Marat leader advocated the death of everyone who supported the king Under new government Louis was just a common citizen Jacobins convict Louis of treason and execute him Jacobins amassed more enemies Peasants horrified at execution of King, Priests, other political opponents War expands Great Britain, Holland and Spain joined in war against France

28 Maximilien Robespierre assumes control Set out to build a Republic of Virtue Wanted to wipe out all traces of Monarchy and Nobility Closed all the churches Committee of Public Safety Began the Reign of Terror To protect the Revolution from it s enemies 40,000 people killed Most former members of the Third Estate Eventually he was arrested and executed France tires of terror More moderate government takes over Executive branch 5 person Directory Became very corrupt and depended on the military to stay in power which leads to its downfall, 2 house legislative branch
