3 Lecture Focus Question Was the American War for Independence inevitable (unavoidable)? Why or why not? Explain.

4 French and Indian War Age-old rivalry between England & France Stake claim to the same territory War begins England wins! Relations between England and colonies become strained Colonists begin to question British authority

5 Oppression Begins British begin to tax colonists for profit Stamp Act: tax on newspapers, legal documents, and all other printed materials Sugar Act: tax on sugar Townshend Act: tax on imported goods like glass and tea

6 Colonists React Colonists rallying cry: No taxation without representation! Engraving by Paul Revere Boycott: refusal to buy certain products Boston Tea Party: political protest by Sons of Liberty Boston Massacre: ended with 4 colonists dead

7 Simon Says S The Sons of Liberty were a radical group based in Boston who wanted independence from Great Britain. They were behind rebellious acts like the Boston Tea Party.

8 Boston Tea Party (1773)

9 Rebellion against injustice is part of the American identity. What other acts of rebellion against injustice can you think of?

10 Tar and Feathering

12 First Continental Congress First Continental Congress: representatives from each colony who met to plan a united response to the Intolerable Acts Called on colonists to form militias Militia: an organized group of armed non-military civilians (minutemen)

13 The Shot Heard Round the World British troops planned to march on Lexington and Concord to seize weapons stockpile Paul Revere s famous ride (William Dawes & Samuel Prescott, too!) Colonial militias gathered Awkward standoff shots fired The American Revolutionary War begins!

14 There have been a lot of movies and TV shows made about our Founding Fathers and the American Revolutionary War. Which one is your favorite? Why do you like it?

15 Second Continental Congress Continental Congress met again to plan for war Called for formation of formal army Continental Army Named George Washington leader of the new army

16 Simon Says S No one except Washington wanted the job of leading the Continental Army because if the colonists lost the war, the General would be executed for treason by the King.

17 Decisions, Decisions Each colonist now had to choose Loyalty to King George III (Tories/Loyalists) Loyalty to the Revolution (Rebels/Patriots) Pro-Revolution propaganda Common Sense: pamphlet written by Thomas Paine convinced many to side with the revolution I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ~Patrick Henry~
