CAUSES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

FRENCH – INDIAN WAR FRANCE, SPAIN AND ENGLAND SHARED LAND IN NORTH AMERICA IN THE LATE 1600’S. COMPETITION FOR LAND, TRADE, AND TREATIES WITH THE INDIANS, LED TO CONFLICT BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN POWERS IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA. Led to a war between the French and Indians vs Britain. FRANCE BEGAN BUILDING FORTS ALONG THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN RANGE IN 1753 – AND INDIAN RAIDS AGAINST THE COLONIES INCREASE TENSION BETWEEN ENGLAND, FRANCE AND THE COLONISTS.

FRENCH – INDIAN WAR 1754 - 1763 WAR BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA. COLONISTS SUPPORTED THE BRITISH AGAINST THE FRENCH. INDIAN TRIBES SUPPORTED BOTH THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH. ENGLAND WON THE WAR IN 1763.

ENGLAND ADDS TERRITORY

TROUBLE BEGINS WITH THE COLONIES……

CAUSES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION…. PROCLAMATION OF 1763 – no colonists allowed west of Appalachian Mtn.’s. England feared angering the Indian tribes…avoid conflict. The colonists saw free land, opportunity to expand, felt they won this right with the victory over the French. 1754-1763 – England begins restricting the rights of the colonists. Boston lawyer – James Otis argues this violates individual rights. TAXES RAISED – King George III felt it was only fair for the Colonists to pay for the war since they were protected from the French – Indians by the English troops.

ENGLAND BEGINS TO ASSAIL COLONIAL RIGHTS…. 1764 – THE BRITISH BEGAN TAXING SUGAR (SUGAR ACT) AND OTHER IMPORTS. THEY STOP THE COLONISTS FROM PRINTING THEIR OWN MONEY. THE COLONISTS BEGIN TO “BOYCOTT” ENGLISH GOODS.

GEORGE III CLAMPS DOWN… STAMP ACT – required every official document, newspaper, or pamphlet to have an official stamp – which was taxed. ***Colonists protested – England withdrew the Act due to protests and boycotts that hurt England economically. 1765 – STAMP ACT PASSED – MONEY GOES TO PARLIAMENT. THE COLONISTS PETITION THE KING – STATE THAT THIS IS ILLEGAL SINCE THEY HAVE NO “REPRESENTATION” IN PARLIAMENT. TOWNSEND DUTIES – Passed by England in response to Colonial protests and repeal of Stamp Act. Taxed paper, paint, glass, lead, and tea. These goods were shipped to colonies from England.

ENGLAND AMPS UP THE PRESSURE…. 1766- 1767 – THE BRITISH PASS MORE LAWS TAXING THE COLONISTS. THE COLONISTS EXPAND THEIR BOYCOTT ON ENGLISH GOODS. 1768 -1769 – COLONISTS BEGIN SUPPORTING THE IDEA THAT “TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION” IS WRONG. THE BRITISH SEND TROOPS TO BOSTON TO KEEP ORDER.

THE BOSTON MASSACRE 1770- 1773 - BRITISH TROOPS KILL 5 COLONISTS – INJURE 6 IN SHOOTING. BRITISH SUSPEND ALL TAXES (EXCEPT TEA TAX) ON THE COLONISTS. ONLY ONE TEA COMPANY TO SELL TO THE COLONIES. SONS OF LIBERTY – BOSTON TEA PARTY

CAUSES OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION…. 1774 -DECLATORY ACT…. GEORGE III ANGRY OVER COLONIAL PROTESTS AND EMBARRASSED BY THE REPEAL OF THE STAMP ACT. THIS ACT STATED THAT “PARLIAMENT’S AUTHORITY IN ENGLAND WAS THE SAME IN THE COLONIES AND PARLIAMENT HAD THE AUTHORITY TO PASS LAWS FOR THE COLONIES WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.”

CAUSES OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION…. 1774 -QUARTERING ACT – THE COLONISTS PROTEST THE TOWNSEND ACTS – ENGLAND PASSES THE QUARTERING ACT – SENDS 4000 TROOPS TO THE COLONIES – REQUIRES COLONISTS TO QUARTER TROOPS IN THEIR HOMES.

CAUSES OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION…. TEA TAX – 1773 BRITISH REPEAL THE TOWNSEND ACTS AMID GREAT PROTESTS….PASSES THE TEA ACT. PLACES TAX ON TEA….COLONISTS RESPOND WITH THE “BOSTON TEA PARTY”

CAUSES OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION… INTOLERABLE ACTS… AS A RESULT OF THE BOSTON TEA PARTY…ENGLAND PASSED THESE ACTS. CLOSED BOSTON HARBOR FOR TRADE… MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE WAS SUSPENDED… ENGLAND THE POWER TO APPOINT ALL OFFICIALS IN MASSACHUSETTS UNTIL THE TEA IS PAID FOR. ROYAL OFFICIALS NO LONGER PUT ON TRIAL IN LOCAL COURTS – TRIED ONLY IN ENGLAND FOR CRIMES IN THE COLONIES.

UNDERLYING CAUSES OF HOSTILITIES….?? NO REPRESENTATION IN MAKING LAWS FOR THE COLONIES… TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION….NO INPUT FROM COLONIES INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS VIOLATED….QUARTERING OF TROOPS, FAIR TRIALS, RIGHTS TO PUBLISH, ETC….

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR…. 1775 - 1ST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS – REPRESENTATIVES MEET IN 1774 - SET COLONIAL BOYCOTT OF BRITISH GOODS TO PROTEST. KING ORDERS TROOPS TO STOP THE REBELLION. LEXINGTON – CONCORD – PATRIOTS IN BOSTON GATHER ARMS AND AMMUNITION. BRITISH TROOPS TRY TO SIEZE THESE ARMS. APRIL 1775 FIRE UPON EACH OTHER.

WAR BEGINS…. 2ND CONTINENTAL CONGRESS CONVENES….CREATES THE CONTINENTAL ARMY – APPOINTS GEORGE WASHINGTON THE COMMANDER.
