Warm-Up (10/16) What effect did the Middle Passage have on the New England colonies? It supplied them with slaves for work on their farms and plantations.

Olive Branch Petition – guaranteed the King that the colonist wanted peace, but asked him to respect the colonists’ rights.

Second Continental Congress While waiting for a response from the King, Continental Congress became governing body of the colonies. Responsibilities: Printed money Created post offices Named foreign ambassadors Created Continental Army *George Washington* made commander

King’s Response

Independence becomes “Common Sense” 1776 – Writer Thomas Paine publishes his pamphlet “Common Sense” Significance: Advocated for American independence from England. Used simple language that spoke to common people. First work to openly promote independence.

Thomas Jefferson chosen to write the Declaration of Independence. *Jefferson drew on the ideas of thinkers and philosophers like John Locke who believed people were born with certain natural rights to life, liberty, and property and those people should have a government to protect that.
