What to know about the Revolutionary War

John Locke, 17 th Cent. English Enlightenment philosopher who came up with the idea of “Social Contract”: 1. People are born with natural rights which rulers cannot take away. 2. Government governs by “consent of the governed” If the government fails to protect our rights, we can revolt and replace the government.

Thomas Paine Author of Common Sense, which argued that –it didn’t make sense to have a king., and… –convinced many.

Thomas Jefferson Based the Dec. of Indep. on Locke’s idea of Social Contract See Quotes in Quick Review

George Washington— General of the American Army Who was able to somehow keep the army together when defeat seemed inevitable

Saratoga

The turning point of the war, because after Saratoga Ben Franklin was able to to negotiate a Treaty of Alliance with France

Yorktown The last battle of the Revolution, we were helped by the French army and navy

Patriot The revolutionaries—Sons of Liberty, Minute Men, etc. They controlled the countryside and waged guerrilla warfare

Loyalists or Tories Those who remained loyal to the King –economic and cultural ties to Britain –believed taxation was justified

The British had controlled the cities—after all they had a huge navy
