Presentation transcript:

Meanwhile in the Colonies 3 types of colonies The royal colonies were ruled directly by the English monarchy. (NH,Mass.,NY, NJ,Va, NC, SC, Ga.) bicameral legislature The King granted land to people in North America, who then formed proprietary colonies. (Maryland, Penn., Delaware) The charter colonies were mostly self-governed, and their charters were granted to the colonists. (RI, Conn.) unicameral

British Colonial Policies Colonies were treated largely as a confederation. Then came George III. George liked power (restricting trade) and money (new taxes). George III wanted the colonists to help pay for war (French and Indian War).

Attempts to Unite New England Confederation (1643) – several settlements formed a “league of friendship” for defense against Native Americans Albany Plan of Union (1754) – plan for a yearly meeting of delegates from each colony to create policy (war/military). Stamp Act Congress (1765) – organized in protest to Stamp Act - a tax on all paper goods sold in the colonies (first opposition to Britain)

Growing Tensions Organized boycotts – refusal to buy certain products Boston Massacre (1770) Boston Tea Party (1773)

Colonists Unite 1st Continental Congress (1774) – response to the Intolerable Acts (Dec. of Rights), and repealed British taxes. Shot Heard Round the World (April 19, 1775) Lexington and Concord (start of revolution) 2nd Continental Congress – served as gov’t during Revolutionary War, and wrote the Declaration of Independence July 4th, 1776.
