The Road to the American Revolution

The Road to Revolution (1763-1776) The end of the French & Indian War (1763), marked the start of the road towards the American Revolution: 1763: Beginning of parliamentary sovereignty & Proclamation Line 1765-67: Stamp & Townshend Acts 1773-75: Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, Lexington & Concord 1776: Declaration of Independence

Mob reaction to the Stamp Act The “Sons of Liberty” & “Daughters of Liberty” were formed to protest British restrictions & became the leaders of colonial resistance Mob reaction to the Stamp Act For the 1st time, many colonists refer to fellow boycotters as “patriots” The colonial boycotts were effective & Britain repealed the Stamp Act

“Indirect” tax on lead, glass, paper, tea, etc.

More Boycotts

Colonists created committees of correspondence to communicate with each other Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry, and Francis Lightfoot Lee meeting at Raleigh Tavern, Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1773 to establish the Committee of Correspondence

Paul Revere’s etching of the Boston Massacre became an American best-seller Colonists injured British soldiers by throwing snowballs & oyster shells With only 4 dead, this was hardly a “massacre” but it reveals the power of colonial propaganda 11

First Continental Congress “We have to help Boston”

Lexington & Concord

The Enlightenment Colonists used the ideas of the Enlightenment to justify their protest John Locke wrote that people have natural rights (life, liberty, & property) & should oppose tyranny Rousseau believed that citizens have a social contract with their gov’t Montesquieu argued that power should not be in the hands of a king, but separated among gov’t branches

Conclusions By December 1775, the British & American colonists were fighting an “informal revolutionary war”…but: Colonial leaders had not yet declared independence In 1776, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense convinced many neutral colonists to support independence from Britain By July 1776, colonists drafted the Declaration of Independence
