Presentation transcript:

Causes of the Revolution MERCANTILISM - exporting goods (selling goods to other nations) more than they import (buy goods from other nations) desire for more land Exporting raw materials to England so they could export finished goods

British colonist moved west Fighting French and Native Americans 9 years of fighting French surrendered and gave up its claims in Canada and all lands east of the Mississippi River Significance was Great Britain stood alone as the one true colonial power in North America

Tension Between Great Britain and the Colonies Colonist lost respect for Britain’s Military (ill-prepared and unsuited for fighting on the American terrain) Great Britain was heavily in debt after fighting to protect its colonies (felt Americans should help pay for the expense) Which all lead to…1760 England began issuing writs of assistance, General search warrants that allowed British authorities to search whatever they wanted for whatever reason This enforced the Navigation Acts

Navigation Acts - was a series of laws that restricted the use of foreign ships for trade between the colonies and any country except Britain Proclamation of 1763 - forbide colonist from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains; also put the territory under British military control Colonists resented King’s restrictions and many ignored the proclamation

Declaratory Act Parliament had the authority to impose laws on the colonies

Intolerable Acts - closed the British Harbor and placed a military governor over Massachusetts England also expanded Canadian border, taking land away from certain colonies Sept 1774 First Continental Congress, statement to the King, Congress wrote that the colonists had a right to be represented in their government (not rep in Parliament, were entitled to govern themselves 1775 Lexington and Concord - fighting broke out, British troops were on their way to seize arms and ammunition stored by colonists at Concord, Massachusetts Met at Lexington by colonial militia (voluntary, local military units consisting of private citizens rather than full time soldiers) Someone (know one knows) fired the “shot heard around the world” THAT STARTED THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
