Our Nation Begins… The American Revolutionary War

Timeline of Events What Leads to War and Freedom The Acts The Colonists Reactions First Continental Congress Second Continental Congress Opening Shots The Battle of Breed’s Hill The Declaration of Independence

The Acts The Stamp Act required the colonists to buy a stamp for all legal papers, such as: marriage licenses and newspapers. The Sugar Act required the colonists to pay tax on sugar. The Tea Tax required that colonists pay taxes on all tea purchased from England.

The Colonists Reactions To oppose the “Taxation Without Representation”, the colonists boycotted many English goods Through the Sons of Liberty organizations, the colonists harassed stamp officials by tar and feathering them.

First Continental Congress Began in September of 1774 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There was representation from 12 of the 13 colonies. Georgia had a strong English Governor, the opposition was too afraid of getting caught. Major decision: Draft an appeal to King George demanding colonist representation, additionally, each colony will create a army of Minuteman.

Second Continental Congress Began on May 10, 1775 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Held to try and decide how to force King George to listen to their demands. Major Decision: Create a Continental Army prepared to fight England and nominate George Washington to lead the troops.

Opening Shots April 19, 1775 at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. British army was sent to capture colonist weapons storage facility in Concord. Paul Revere and two others rode through the countryside shouting, “The British are Coming!” With 400 minutemen to greet them in Concord, the British army retreated back to Boston!

Battle of Breed’s Hill Most commonly referred to as the Battle of Bunker Hill. Moral victory for the colonists! General Gage instructed the tattered colonists (with their few bullets apiece), fire ONLY “When you see the whites of their eyes!” End result: The British army took the Hill but lost 2,400 men to the colonists 100 casualties. The colonists now had hope!

The Declaration of Independence Drafted primarily by a young Virginian named Thomas Jefferson. Signed on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The document declares freedom for the colonists to be their own country. The colonists are willing to fight for their freedom!
