The coming of Independence

King George III King George III comes to the throne in 1760 and demands more British involvement in the colonies as well as more, you guessed it, taxes.

The march to Revolution The Albany Plan- Constructed by Ben Franklin as a means for seven of the Northern colonies to raise an army for protection from the French and native Americans. The King denied this leading to dissention with the colonists.

It just gets worse… Proclamation Line (1763)- Forbade Americans to settle in certain western lands. Stamp Act(1765)- taxed every legal document, newspaper, pamphlet, deck of cards and dice. Quartering Act (1765)- Required colonists to allow British soldiers to stay in their homes. Boston Massacre (1770)- British troops opened fire at a crowd of colonists and killed five Americans. Boston Tea Party (1773)- Colonists tossed British tea into Boston Harbor to show hatred for tax on tea. Intolerable Acts (1774)- Limited local government in Massachusetts and closed Boston Harbor.

First Continental Congress In reaction to all of the oppression from Britain, the colonies sent delegates to Philadelphia. By the end, the ideas that grew out of Philadelphia had been embraced by all of the colonies.

Second Continental Congress Just weeks following British attacks at Lexington and Concord, representatives of the colonies met in Philadelphia for the 2nd Continental Congress. It was here that they appointed George Washington to lead the continental army against the British. A year later (1776), the Congress asked a committee to draft a document explaining why the colonies felt it was necessary to free themselves from British rule: The Declaration of Independence.
