Turn in movie poster if not turned in yesterdayEQ: What were the causes of the Revolutionary

War?

Objective:• Students will be able to compare and contrast the

sugar, quartering and stamp Act as acts that angered the American Colonists as evidenced by a completed matrix with 80% accuracy

• Turn open to your unit learning goal, where does our objective fit into level 2 and 3 for the unit goal

• Title page 37 on your TOC and on page 37, “Lead Up to War Notes”

1. Vocabulary• Duty: tax on imports• Boycott: Refusal to buy certain goods, guess

who’s? • Petition: a formal written request to a

government• Writs of Assistance: orders that allowed

English officials to search for illegal goods without permission

2. British Rule Leads to Conflict

• Colonists were proud of their contribution to the French and Indian war

• They expected Britain to be thankful for their help!

• They expected only a minimum raise in taxes to help pay the war debt (123 million pounds of sterling) That’s a lot!

3. Pay for what?!!• England thought

the colonists should pay for 1/3rd of the war cost

• England’s Prime Minister George Grenville will use TAXES to make the colonists pay!

"it is just and necessary, that a revenue be raised, in your Majesty's said dominions in America, for defraying the expenses of defending, protecting, and securing the same."

4. The Sugar Act 1764• Parliament put a duty or

import tax on several products including molasses and sugar

• The act also put in place heavy punishment for smugglers (something the colonists were good at)

• The sugar act worsened the colonists trade balance

• Colonial merchants COMPLAIN!

“Our trade is most grievously embarrassed!”

5. The 1st Quartering Act• 1765, Parliament passed

the Quartering Act to try to enforce the Proclamation of 1763 (about 1,000 soldiers kept in the colonies)

• Forced colonists to house and feed British forces

• The act further increased tensions between England and the colonists

• The colonists complained parliament was violating their rights

6. Stamp Act• Passed by Parliament in

1765• Required all colonists to

buy special tax stamps for any printed material (Playing Cards, calendars, papers, books, wills, contracts)

• Virginia’s House of Burgesses’ declares that only Virginia has the right to tax its people!

• Colonial leader Patrick Henry attacked the Stamp Act!

“I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

6. Stamp Act• Merchants in New York,

Boston, and Philadelphia boycotted or refused to buy British goods

• Delegates from 9 colonies assembled in NY for the Stamp Act Congress

• They sent a petition to the King and Parliament demanding the end to the Sugar and Stamp Act

• It worked! In 1766, the Stamp Act was repealed

7. Declaratory Act• When Parliament repealed

the Stamp Act it also passed the Declaratory Act in 1766

• This act said Parliament had total authority over the colonies

• Reminder to the colonies of who was in charge!

• The success of repealing the Stamp Act was short lived

• That set the stage for more trouble between England the colonies

Take that colonists! I’m in charge and you will obey!

Bell-work 11/2/12• Concept Exploration: 1. Define in your own

words –INTOLERABLE

2. Use the word in a sentence that makes sense to you

3. Can you think of any other words that have the same meaning?

• EQ: What led to war?

Hustle! You only have 5 minutes to complete Bell-work

Objective• Students will be able to

compare/contrast the Tea, Intolerable and Quebec Act as evidenced by a completed matrix with 80% accuracy

• Turn open to your unit learning goal, where does our objective fit into level 2 and 3 for the unit goal

• Turn open to page 37, where we can continue, “Lead up to War”

You must continue learning about how Parliament and I angered the colonies

8. Townshend Act • Parliament passes in 1767• Named for Charles

Townshend, “Chancellor of the Exchequer,” AKA the chief treasurer for England

• With the Stamp Act repealed England needs another way to make money

• The act set up a system to enforce the duty taxes on: glass, tea, lead, paper

• Act was also made to punish NY for refusing to quarter soldiers, it suspended their assembly

Money is needed to control the colonies!

9. Boston Massacre • Because of the Townshend

Act, colonists again boycotted British goods

• This hurt British merchants (why) and they urged Parliament to repeal them

• Parliament repealed all Townshend Acts on March 5, 1770 except the duty on tea (left in place to show parliament’s right to tax)

• But, the repeal came to late….

9. Boston Massacre • On the same day, March 5th,

1770 an angry crowd of workers surrounded a small group of soldiers

• They threw snowballs and rocks at them and yelled

• The soldiers fired into the crowd of colonists, killing 5 and wounding 6

• The first to fall for the cause of American Independence was Crispus Attucks, an A.A. sailor

• Only two soldiers of the 9 were convicted of wrongdoing…their thumbs were branded

10. Tea Act• Parliament passes in 1773• Many colonists drank tea

and were paying the tax with every cup they drank

• Many colonists boycotted Tea

• They were paying a tax that Parliament had placed on them without consent

• The act was intended to help the British East India Company (one of England’s most important and profitable) create a monopoly in the colonies (No Dutch tea)

• The colonists boycott of tea was hurting the company

11. Boston Tea Party• A group of colonists called

the Sons of Liberty-we’ll talk more about them , organized in port cities against the East India Tea to stop tea from being unloaded

• They threatened the ship captains and also the colonial merchants who bought the tea to sell in the colonies

• No tea was unloaded in NY Philadelphia, or other ports

• But in Boston, governor Thomas Hutchinson made sure the tea was unloaded

11. Boston Tea Party• He did this by refusing

the captains the papers they needed to return to England, therefore the tea would be unloaded

• Tension built in Boston over the next 2 weeks

• On the night of December 16, 1773 colonists disguised as Natives boarded the tea ship and threw 342 cases of tea into the harbor

• They destroyed 9,000 pounds of tea

12. Intolerable Acts• The Boston Tea Party

outraged the British government and the King and Parliament would punish Boston with the Intolerable Acts….there were 4 new laws

• 1. Close Boston’s Port: as of June 1st, 1774 and remain closed until the tea is paid for (10,000 pounds of sterling)

• 2. Removed old governor: Thomas Hutchinson replaced by General Thomas Gage

12. Intolerable Acts• Removed the Mass.

Legislature 3. Strengthened the

Quartering Act: soldiers were strategically placed in homes around the Son’s of Liberty

4. Quebec Act: set up a government for the territory taken from France in 1763. Claimed land between the Ohio and the Missouri rivers as part of Canada. It took away the western land from the colonists

12. SUMMARYIn one paragraph, at the

bottom of your Cornell notes describe how British rule (the ACTS) lead to conflict.

In other words how specifically did the Acts hurt the colonies, use specific examples.

2. 2nd Continental Congress• 1775 called in

response to the battles of Lexington and Concord

• Called in Philadelphia on May 10, 1775.

• Delegates included: Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock (president) and Benjamin Franklin

What are our goals

gentlemen?!

2. 2nd Continental Congress• At first the

Congress was divided at what to do.

• But all delegates felt that they needed to prepare for war

• They had 2 goals at the Congress

Preparations for war must be

made!

2. 2nd Continental Congress1. Write a letter to KG3:

“The Olive Branch Petition”

• It was an attempt at peace, the colonists told KG3 he was listening to the wrong people (Parliament)

• KG3 refused to read it• Now, Many colonists

realized war was the only option

2. 2nd Continental Congress2. Raise and supply an

ARMY• Need to choose a

general, George Washington is chosen because he has experience, he wanted the job, and he was from the South

• Important because we needed the South involved in the war too, not just the northern Massachusetts militia.

I will lead the Patriots to VICTORY!

ExampleDecember 17th, 1773Dear Diary, It was frigidly cold waking up for my patrol

duty this morning at Boston Harbor. I dressed quickly and exited the American colonists home where I am being quartered. When I arrived at the harbor my breath was taken away from me. There floating in the harbor were cases and cases of tea floating the in sea water. This was not just any tea, it was the Majesty’s King George III’s Tea. I already know it was the rebel Patriots the Sons of Liberty who did this. They had been harassing British tax collectors and merchants who were selling our Tea. They were angry about the Parliament’s Tea Act. I can’t imagine what our Majesty will do about this loss of tea and revenue. …..continue……….

Update Notebooks

EQ: Why was the capture of Fort T. significant?

TSWBAT understand the significance of Fort T.


evaluate the importance of the early battles included Fort Ticonderoga of the American Revolution as well as petitions to the King as evidenced by completed Cornell notes and summary with 80% accuracy.

• Where does this fit into level 2 and 3 for our Unit Learning Goal

• How do you reach mastery? • TOC page : Early War Battles

1. Petitioning the King• Months after Lexington

and Concord, delegates at the 2nd Continental Congress hoped for peace

• Once the “Olive Branch Petition” failed they wrote the “Declaration of the Causes and Necessitates of Taking Up Arms”

I refuse to read it!

2. Declaration of Arms • 2nd Continental passed a

tougher declaration • Written in part by Thomas

Jefferson• States that the colonists were

ready, “…to die freemen rather than to live as slaves” to the crown

• The effort to make peace failed, Parliament instead sent 20,000 soldiers to America

3. We need WEAPONS• John Hancock knew we

needed weapons • Why not take them from

the British?!• Fort Ticonderoga on Lake

Champlain was used for weapons storage for the British (they had huge cannons there and we wanted them!)

Why not take the Red Coat’s

weapons?

4. Bright Idea• Leading the surprise attack on Fort

Ticonderoga was blacksmith Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold

• After crossing the lake at night, Allen’s force of 83 men easily made the 42 British troops guarding the fort surrender

• Important victory at F.T. because the fort controlled the water route between Canada and the Hudson River and it held valuable weapons including several dozen cannons.

• Later the same cannons would be used to drive the British from Boston!

5. Summary and Progress Chart• Summarize why the win

at F.T. was such so important to the Patriots, evaluate the battle’s significance

• Complete your progress chart for objective H and I

Battle of Bunker Hill

• June 16, 1775• Colonel William

Prescott and militiamen set up forts on Breed’s Hill and Bunker Hill near Boston


• The British charged up the hill with bayonets drawn

• Prescott ordered his men not to fire until “you see the whites of their eyes!” because they were low on ammo.


• The British won the battle, but over 1000 of their soldiers were dead or wounded

The Declaration of Independence

• In 1776, delegates like John and Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and George Washington met in Philadelphia at the Second Continental Congress.

• They were joined by Ben Franklin, John Hancock and Thomas Jefferson


• They agreed to form a Continental Army, led by George Washington

• They sent a letter called the Olive Branch Petition to King George III asking for peace and to listen to their complaints.

The Declaration of Independence• In 1776, Thomas Paine

wrote a pamphlet (a small book) called Common Sense

• It convinced many people that independence was necessary, that it was “common sense!”

• Many people were convinced by Paine’s pamphlet to become Patriots


• In June, 1776, Thomas Jefferson was chosen to write a declaration to send to the king

• This document became the Declaration of Independence

• It was signed on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia


• Though the colonies were NOT yet independent, the D. of I was a strong statement of their feelings

• It made it clear to the world that the colonies intended to fight for their freedom

American Revolution Acrostic

• On a piece of notebook paper, create an acrostic that:– Mentions at least four things that helped to cause

the American Revolution (look back at your T-chart on page 53)
