Road to Revolution Research: Events 8/30/22
Liberty is defined as “the quality or state of being free.” It is this fundamental value that compelled North American Colonists to take up arms against Great Britain. Who or what was to blame for the start of the American Revolution? Can a single event be identified as the tipping point, or was armed conflict the inevitable result of an accumulation of many events and growing tensions over time? YOU will investigate the actions and reactions that led to revolution.
For today, you will be researching 3 facts for each of the events. I will provide a list of events and place them in 3 categories. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO GET ALL OF THEM DONE TODAY BUT... I WOULD LIKE TO YOU TO COMPLETE AT LEAST 6 EVENTS.
Taxes:
|
Reactions/Violence:
|
Setting Precedents/Legal:
|
Example: Format example: bullet points are fine (yes, you may use my example)
Sugar Act:
- A tax placed on sugar (big for British who drink tea)
- colonist tried to smuggle in sugar to avoid the tax
- limited colonist in directly trading with other countries (Britain controls colonies economically)
Here are some sites to help you with your research.

The French and Indian:
The War officially came to an end on February 10, 1763, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. France officially ceded all of its holdings in North America, west of the Mississippi; while regaining the Islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. The most long lasting effect of the war was not negotiated between the parties? rather, it was the effect the war had on the American colonies. The cost of the war and of controlling the newly acquired territories was high. The British looked to the colonies to help pay those costs. That began the long spiral of events that led to the Revolution.
