1 Conflicts Brew in the Colonies
With Native Americans Anglo-Powhatan War Pequot War King Philip’s War

2 Conflicts in the Colonies
What is a conflict? What kinds of problems do you think the colonies could have had? Things to think about: Problems as population grew Problems with economics (especially mercantilism) Problems with expansion

3 Reasons Behind the Wars…

4 Anglo Powhatan Wars A series of 3 wars that took place in Virginia
First ended with John Rolfe married Pocahontas Second two are started by the Native Americans and led to their eventual defeat Outcome: the Powhatan Indians are put onto reservations

5 Pequot War Took place in modern-day Connecticut
The Pequot Indians began attacking British settlers after the British claimed and took over most of the Pequot Territory The British burned their entire village, killing many Pequot's The remaining member of the tribe were forced to surrender themselves into slavery

6 King Philip’s War King Philip was the Christian name of Metacom- a Wampanoag Indian Fighting took place all across New England One of the most costly of all conflicts involving settlers (Americans) and Native Americans- 600 Europeans and 3,000 Native Americans died. Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies merged as a result of this war

7 And then…The French and Indian War

8 Outcomes Treaty of Paris Pontiac’s Rebellion Proclamation of 1763
MERCANTILISM ENFORCED!!!

9 Treaty of Paris The English and the French
The Native Americans aren’t quite done- leading to Pontiac’s Rebellion

10 Proclamation of 1763

11 Problems for the colonies as a due to the French and Indian War
Less land for them to expand More taxes than before More restrictions on trade BUT DIDN’T THEY HELP WIN THE WAR????

12 Let the taxing begin… Britain argues they need more money in order to pay for an increased military presence Citizens living in Britain are actually paying more BUT THEY HAVE REPRESENTATIVES IN PARLIAMENT!!!

13 Stamp Act

14 Townshend Acts

15 SO MUCH MONEY!!!!

16 And then this happens…

17 Results of the Boston Massacre
Britain repeals the Townshend Acts More individuals start questioning British authority Sons of Liberty grows Sam Adams Patrick Henry Colonial militias start forming

18 Britain brings back the Tea Act
Boston Tea Party: December 1773

19 The Aftermath

20 The Social Contract Theory
John Locke Purpose of government is to protect its citizens Citizens agree to give up some of their freedoms in order to have protection and stability by the government BIG IDEA: If the government does not protect the people, they can break free of the government!!!

21 So now things really step up…
A timeline so far of events: 1754: Albany Plan of Union 1763: Treaty of Paris 1763: Pontiac’s Rebellion 1763: Proclamation of 1763 1765: Stamp Act passes 1765: Sons of Liberty forms 1767: Townshend Acts passed 1770: Boston Massacre 1773: Committees of Correspondence forms 1773: Boston Tea Party 1774: Intolerable Acts Passed 1774: First Continental Congress

22 First Continental Congress
Every colony sent representatives EXCEPT Georgia The colonies were divided on the issue of declaring independence Instead, they decided to boycott British goods while asking for representation in British Parliament Main idea: the majority still want to remain loyal to Britain

23 Lexington and Concord 1775

24 “Common Sense” Written by Thomas Paine

25 2nd Continental Congress
All colonies were eventually represented By this time- its evident war could happen Many delegates favor independence, but they offer Britain one more chance to stay united Olive Branch Petition In preparation for war, they also name George Washington Commander in Chief of the colonial military

26 Declaration of Independence
July 4th, 1776 A lot of ideas came from Richard Henry Lee Written by: Thomas Jefferson Big Ideas: Social Contract Theory Ways in which Britain has violated their freedoms

27 Discussion Questions Do you think the colonists had the right to declare their independence? Do you agree with the idea that government is a “social contract?” What events do you think contributed the MOST to the outbreak of war? How do you think things may have been different if colonists had been given representation in Congress?
