Slide3Political and Economic Factors
Slide4Learning Objective
You will be able to explain major political and economic factors leading to the American Revolution, including the French and Indian War, the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and Intolerable Acts as well as American resistance to these acts through boycotts, petitions, and congresses.
Slide5Political and Economic Reasons for the Revolutionary War
Political
Does the Parliament of the colonial assemblies have the right to impose taxes?
Economic
The need for taxes after the French and Indian War
The power of the colonists to boycott British goods and force British merchants to appeal to Parliament to repeal the Stamp Act
Slide6Images 1 & 2
Study the two maps.
Make observations in your notebook.
How are they alike and different?
North America in 1750
North America in 1763
Slide7The French and Indian War
As we know, the French and Indian War was fought between the British and the French over land in the Ohio River Valley.
Remember? Both the French and the British claimed this land
Land = Power!!!!
The British won the war but at a HUGE cost!
The British now had a large debt (money that they owe)

Slide8The French and Indian War
Somebody
Wanted
But
So
Slide9The French and Indian War
The British decided that the debt should be paid in American taxes.
The British thought this because they fought for the American’s land
This changed the way the British government worked.
In the past, the British government ignore what was happening in the colonies and allowed the colonies to set their own rules and taxes.
Slide10The French and Indian War
The taxes drastically changed the relationship between the colonies and the British.
Colonies believed it was the right of their colonial assemblies to impose taxes, NOT the right of the King or Parliament
The colonial assemblies resisted the new policies through protests and boycotts of British goods
Slide11The Stamp Act
The stamp act was a tax on all papers (for example, legal documents and newspapers)
This meant they had to pay more money for these types of goods
Slide12Slide13Slide14Primary Document
Make some observations about what you see.
What you think is happening?
Why?
Read, “The Death Head Stamp”, pp. 8-9 from
Liberty
Q: What were
the
colonists’
reactions?
Slide15Colonists’ Reactions to the Stamp Act
Colonists were very unhappy with the Stamp Act!
They would cry “no taxation without representation!”
What did that mean?!
They
wanted a colonial representative in Parliament in order to represent what the colonists wanted.
Except… they didn’t
really
want a representative because they know the representative would be outvoted.
Colonists organized a “Stamp Act Congress”
They sent a petition to the King and boycotted British goods
This led to the repeal of the Stamp ActThey also created the “Sons and Daughters of Liberty”
Slide16The Tea Act
This act was NOT a tax
This act made it so the Americans could ONLY buy tea from the British East India Company.
When you can only buy a good from one company it is called a
monopoly
.
The Sons of Liberty wanted to boycott the purchase of tea because it was British good
However, the Sons of Liberty were worried that people would still buy the tea since it was inexpensive
Slide17The Boston Tea Party
In Boston colonials boarded a British ship and through tea overboard
They were led by John Adams
Video of John Adams:

These actions led Parliament to pass the “Intolerable Acts”

Slide22The Intolerable Acts
The Intolerable Acts closed the Boston Harbor and took away the right of the colony of Massachusetts to govern itself
Originally the British called these the Coercive Acts because they were trying to coerce, or force, the colonists to pay for the dumped tea and recognized the right of Parliament to make taxes for the colonies.
Slide23Colonists’ Responses to the Intolerable Acts
Colonists created Committees of Correspondence to communicate their situations to each other.
They sent their committees to “The First Continental Congress”
The Continental Congress established a boycott on all trade with the British and told Americans to arm themselves.
This led to the battle of Lexington and Concord which started the Revolutionary War.

Example:
Slide28The Declaration of Independence
Slide29Learning Objective
You will be able to explain the significance of major ideas and philosophies of government reflected in the Declaration of Independence.
Slide30Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776
Four Major Ideas of the Declaration of Independence
“All men are created equal”
African Americans and women were not created equal
“…they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Rights are not given by the government, but rather people are born with their rights
“To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
The purpose of government is to protect the people
“Whenever any form of governments becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.”
If the government does not protect the rights of people, then the people can change it.
Slide31Declaration of Independence cont.
The Declaration of Independence also includes a list of grievances against King George III to show why we had to abolish the English government and start our own.
The Declaration ends with a formal statement saying America is independent of England.

Slide40Battle of Bunker Hill
June 17, 1775
British soldiers slept off the Boston shore while Continental forces built a fort up on a hill.
When the British awoke, they charged up the hill but retreated after they encountered heavy Continental fire.
This happened once more but upon the third charge, the Continentals were out of
ammunition
The untrained Americans had to surrender but they did kill a large number of British
Importance:
Proved Americans could stand up to the British
Americans would need allies to supply ammo

Slide42Turning Point Writing
Slide43Battles in Charleston
The first time the British attacked Charleston they were unsuccessful because of the resistance at Fort Moultrie
But, the British were successful the 2
nd
time around
Charleston was attacked by the British blockading Charleston Harbor and didn’t allow supplies to come in or out
Soon the Patriots were fighting against the British and loyalists using hit and run tactics.

Slide44Cowpens
The partisan forces attacked the British but then tricked them by retreating
The British thought the Americans were retreating, but really the Continental Army was waiting for them.
The Americans won and the British had to go northward to Virginia
Importance:
Showed the cooperation
between the Continental
Army and the irregular
partisan forces
Slide45Yorktown
September 28, 1781
The French Navy helped George Washington and his army blockade the harbor (just like the British blockaded Charleston Harbor)
The blockade prevented British ships from entering the harbor and therefore wouldn’t allow the British to escape the Americans on land
The British were stuck—so they surrendered
A peace treaty was
negociated
by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay. It was called the Treaty of Paris
Importance:
1. Ends
the war!

Slide46Slide47Slide48Notebook Activity
Slide49Slavery, Women, and Native Americans
Slide50Learning Objective
You will be able to explain how the American Revolution affected attitudes toward slavery, women, and Native Americans.
Slide51African Americans and the War
Both free and enslaved African Americans fought on both sides during the war
Some enslaved African Americans were promised that at the end of the war they would become free.
Unfortunately, many of these promises were not kept.
Slide52Emancipation of Slaves
In the North
States in the North freed their slaves
They were not as dependent on slave labor as the South
In the South
Southerner landowners depended on their slaves to work on their plantations
Southerners were scared if they freed the African Americans then they would outnumber them so they made strict slave codes
The invention of the cotton gin made Southerners even more dependent on slave labor in order to make money.
According to the Declaration of Independence “all men are created equal.”
Slide53Women
Women were expected to work the farms or run family businesses during the war.
The took care of their children and farms since their husbands were gone
Some women were nurses or cooks in the army
Some women even pretended to be men so they could fight in the war!
Martha
Washington and Mary Ludwig Hayes served alongside their husbands
Despite their important contributions, women were not allowed to vote nor have a say in government after the war.
Slide54Women in the Military
Slide55Women in the American Revolution
Slide56Native Americans
The end of the French and Indian War was bad for the Native Americans because they lost their French allies
Native Americans were pushed west of the Appalachian Mountains
The Land Ordinance of 1785 pushed the Native Americans farther and farther west.
