Topic: Judging Colonial Opinions at the Onset of the Revolution

The Initial Phase Second Continental Congress (May ’75) Second list of grievances Washington as General Arnold and Allen at Ticonderoga June ’75- Bunker Hill July ‘75- Olive Branch Petition Late 1775 British burn Portsmouth, Norfolk Rebel victory in South Carolina

Thomas Paine: Stirring Up The Revolutionary Spirit Common Sense pamphlet (1776) Urged all colonials to fight Small vs. large (natural) George III –”Royal Brute of Britain” Biblical imagery Republican Virtue Mass democracy vs. meritocracy? Support for Revolution increased

Thomas Jefferson: The Declaration of Independence Colonial legislatures want a “break” w/Britain Continental Congress approves of “independence” (Richard Henry Lee) Jefferson appointed to write the statement: wrongs of the King Colonies had the right to revolt “natural rights” of humankind

The “War at Home” Not all colonists united (war within a war) Patriots, Loyalists, “Neutrals” British difficulty in controlling Patriot areas (New England) Tory Zones: NY, NJ, parts of Penn Grounds of Division: Generation, section, religion, “class” Confiscation of “tory” property Were loyalists “used” correctly by British (50,000)?

Conclusion In what ways did Paine and Jefferson contribute to the ideals of the Revolution? Why did some Americans not join the Revolution, even after 1776?
