The Battle of Bunker Hill “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!” -Colonel William Prescott

In January 1776, a man named Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet called Common Sense. In it, he used plain arguments to convince Americans that the colonies should become independent from Great Britain. In his pamphlet, Paine argued that Americans owed no loyalty to a king or queen 3,000 miles away. The colonies, he said, should be in charge. He also stated that the colonies would be better off economically if they ruled themselves. The pamphlet became a bestseller in the colonies, selling more than 500,000 copies. After reading it, many more average Americans became convinced that the colonies should declare independence from Britain.

After the battles of Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to discuss their next plan of action. Some delegates (representatives) at the Continental Congress wanted to declare independence, while others were not so sure. In early 1776, members of the Continental Congress debated about whether to officially declare independence from Britain. After a long debate, they finally voted to do so. They chose Thomas Jefferson to write the declaration. On July 4th, 1776,, in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Congress voted to accept this document and declare the colonies as “free and independent states.” Today, this date is celebrated as Independence Day (the 4th of July!!)

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.” The Quartering Act This act required colonists to provide food, drink and shelter to Redcoats

“For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world.” The Navigation Acts These acts banned colonists from trading specific items with countries other than Britain.

“For imposing taxes on us without our Consent.” The Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts, the Tea Act No taxation without representation!
