Sides of the American Revolution

Big Idea People rebel as a result of significant dissatisfactions with the political, social, cultural, and/or economic status quo.

Big Question Are political revolutions inevitable?

Reviewing the Conflict Why did the British begin to intervene in the economic affairs of the colonies following the French and Indian War? How did the economic policies of the British government cause tensions to rise in the American colonies? How did many in the colonies respond to the British policies?

Point of View British: - Colonists should remain loyal - “Loyalists” United Colonies: -Break away from Britain to be free and independent -“Patriots”

Nicknames British: Redcoats United Colonies: Minutemen or Continental Army

Color British: Red United Colonies: Many, grey, blue

Generals British: Lord Charles Cornwallis United Colonies: George Washington

Advantages British: -more soldiers, weapons and supplies -Advanced navy United Colonies: -Knowledge of the land -“home field” advantage -Good generals

Disadvantages British: -Fighting overseas, far from home -Poor leadership United Colonies: -Lack of supplies -Less soldiers -Lack of training

Foreign Aid British: Germans (“Hessians”) United Colonies: - France - Marquis de Lafayette

Military Strategy British: -Blockade to cut off New England colonies -Pitched open fields United Colonies: -Guerilla Warfare

Recap Who has a better chance of winning the war? Why do you think the colonists eventually win? What do you think would have happened if Britain had won? Are political revolutions inevitable?
