The American Revolution

Background on the Americas The 13 Colonies of British America were colonies of England Each colony was independent of the other, with its own governor and its own legislature Colonists identified themselves with their colony, rather than an American or an Englishman. The colony was a jewel for England as it provided many raw materials as well as a market to sell finished goods. The British saw the American colonists as troublesome and argumentative. Americans saw the British as controlling and unreasonable.

What events lead up to the Revolution? The enlightenment Enlightened thinkers: Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau and others inspire men like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. Enlightened thinkers argue for the power of human reason and science, freedom from tyrannical government and religious persecution. Locke states: Government is only legitimate if it protects the rights of the people (life, liberty, and pursuit of prosperity). If government does not, the people have the right to overthrow it. Why might these thoughts provoke uprising and the desire for change amongst the American people?

Answer questions 2 – 6 Blog your response Which Enlightenment thinker’s ideas do you find the most “enlightened” in terms of improving the position of the common man?
