The Road To Revolution The Intolerable Acts threaten all the
colonies Committees of Correspondence call for a
“Continental Congress” Delegates from 12 out of 13 colonies
come to Philadelphia in September of 1774
5 Major Decisions 1) Reject plan for colonial union under
England 2) Come up with Declaration of
Grievances 3) Make military preparations for MA 4) Agree to a series of boycotts, enforced
by the Continental Association 5) Agree to meet again in the spring of
1775
Lexington and ConcordFarmers and townspeople had begun gathering weapons and ammoTrain as “Minutemen”Can only respond to British aggression
Lexington and Concord British Commander in
Boston is General Thomas Gage
He believed that his army was too small to do anything significant
He receives orders to arrest both Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and that they are in Lexington, MA
He is also told that there is a stash of weapons in Concord, MA
Lexington and Concord Gage wants to avoid as much trouble and
bloodshed as possible Decides to send 1,000 troops out of
Boston on the evening of April 18th, 1775 This is where the committees of
correspondence come into play
Lexington and Concord The Midnight Riders Paul Revere, William
Dawes, and Samuel Prescott
“The Regulars are coming”
Revere and Prescott are both apprehended; Dawes makes it the countryside and back
Lexington and Concord When the British arrive at
Lexington there are roughly 70 minutemen waiting for them
Quick fight, nothing that seems real significant, but this will ultimately be the first battle of the Revolution
British will then march to Concord, but they don’t find any weapons
Set fire to the town, but they have no idea what is waiting for them
Lexington and Concord Minutemen have lined
the roadways all the way back to Boston
They will use guerilla warfare tactics on the British
Chase British all the way back to Boston
Lexington was basically a trap to set up the events at Concord
2nd Continental Congress Meet again 3 weeks after Lexington and
Concord Kind of split in terms of emotions- you
have an extreme side (Sam Adams, John Adams) and a conservative side (John Dickinson)
Olive Branch Petition (rejected) Begin to draft a Declaration of
Independence Issue paper $ Create a Continental Army- appoint
George Washington as commander No turning back at this point
LET’s GET READY TO REVOLT!
