1 American Revolutionary War
2 The American Revolution The revolutionary war in America is also known as the American Revolution. It was fought between Great Britain and the thirteen colonies. The result was the formation of a new nation-the United States of America.
3 Fighting between British soldiers and the American Patriots began April 19,1775, at Lexington and Concorde, Massachusetts. The war s last major battle was at Yorktown, Virginia during September and October Yorktown Britain formally recognized America independence with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on September 3, 1783.
4 Events leading to the American Revolution Britain was deeply in debt following the French and Indian war ( ) in which Britain defended the colonies against the takeover by France. Once the war was won, Britain began passing laws and taxes to increase its control over the colonies and regain some of the money it had spent.
5 By then, Americans had enjoyed a great amount of freedom. They especially resented new taxes without their consent and without representation in Britain s parliament.
6 MAJOR ISSUES THAT ANGERED THE COLONISTS 1. The Proclamation of 1763 England s King George forbid colonist to settle west of the Appalachian Mountains.
7 2. The Sugar Act of 1764 placed a 3 cent penny tax on each gallon of molasses that entered the colonies from outside the British Empire.
8 3. The Stamp Act of 1765 required colonist to pay for tax stamps on newspapers, and various legal documents. Parliament abolished the Act in 1766.
9 4. The Townshend Acts of 1767 placed a duty on imported goods including glass, lead, paint, and paper. Americans responded by not buying British goods.
10 5. The Tea Act of 1773 To avoid paying the tea tax, colonial merchants smuggled tea in from the Netherlands. In 1773, Parliament passed the Tea Act, which made it possible for the East India Company to sell tea below the price of the smuggled tea. Britain believed that the colonists would buy the English tea since it was cheaper.
11 BOSTON TEA PARTY On December 16, 1773, Samuel Adams led patriots, disguised as Indians, on a raid of British ships docked in Boston s harbor. They dumped the cargoes of tea overboard. This was later called the Boston Tea Party.
12 6. The Intolerable Acts of 1774 Britain s response to the Boston Tea Party. Closed Boston s harbor until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea. Took away nearly all power from Massachusetts legislature. Control of the colony was given to the newly appointed British governor, General Thomas Gage.
13 BRITISH IMPERIAL POLICY ( )
14 The First Continental Congress September 5 October 26, 1774 The First Continental Congress was attended by representatives from all the colonies except Georgia. They met in Carpenter s Hall in Philadelphia to protest the Intolerable Acts. There representatives decided to stop trade with Britain unless the Acts were abolished. They also advised colonists to prepare for war. They agree to meet again in May 1775.
15 BRITIAN S SOLDIERS Britain had large numbers of well trained militia. Soldiers uniforms included bright red jackets. The colonists called the soldiers redcoats.
16 COLONIAL MINUTEMEN No central government, army, or navy. Colony did have a small citizen army called the militia. Members of the militia were ordinary citizens such as farmers, craftspeople, and businessmen. They were prepared to drop everything and become volunteers at a moment s notice. They were called minutemen.
17 Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts 1775 Fighting began in April at Lexington and Concord. General Gage received secret orders to arrest Massachusetts troublemakers. Boston patriots learned about the orders. They fled the city. Gage found out that Americans had stored arms and gun powder in the nearby town of Concorde. Joseph Warren, a Boston patriot, discovered Gage s plan. He sent three carriers Paul Revere, William Dawes, Samuel Prescott to ride and warn the citizens.
18
19 When the redcoats reached Lexington, seventy minutemen were waiting. It is not known who fired first, But eight minutemen were killed and ten were wounded. Only one British soldier was injured. The British continued toward Concord. Again minutemen met them. Three redcoats and two patriots were killed. When the British began to march back to Boston, minutemen fired at the from behind trees and bushes. About 250 British were wounded. American losses numbered ninety.
20 Fort Ticonderoga, New York 1775 In May 1775, patriots Ethan Allen along with his militia Green Mountain Men and Benedict Arnold led the siege of Fort Ticonderoga, a British post in New York. They also captured nearby Crown Point. These two victories supplied Americans with much needed artillery.

24 7. These volunteer soldiers had their first encounter with the British on at and, Massachusetts. 8. The Americans had another early victory when they captured the English Post Fort.
25 The Second Continental Congress May 1775 At first, few delegates wanted to break ties with Britain. However, King George continued to ignore the colonists petitions. He closed all American ports to overseas trade. Support for American independence continued to grow. Even so, it is important to note that as many as one-third of the colonists remained loyal to Britain.
26 They called themselves Loyalist. The patriots called them Tories. More than one-third of the colonists didn t care one way or the other. The war depended upon the patriots who numbered less than onethird of the population. In Philadelphia, on June 14, 1775, Congress established the Continental Army. On June 15, Virginia s George Washington was made the Army s Commander in Chief.
27 Congress soon appointed 13 additional generals. Fighting continued while Congress faced the major tasks of recruiting troops and paying for a war. It had no power to tax. It soon began to issue currency called Continental Dollars. They became nearly worthless. Congress received loans and gifts from wealthy citizens and from other nations, especially France, the Netherlands, and Spain. Benjamin Franklin represented America in France. He played an important role in obtaining French troops and warships.

30 The Battle of Bunker Hill 1775 Both the British and the Americans wanted to occupy hills overlooking Boston. Americans fortified Breed s Hill. On July 17, 1775, British troops, under General Howe, attacked. So as not to waste power and shot, Americans were ordered not to fire until they saw the whites of the enemies eyes! Patriots fought until they ran out of ammunition and had to flee. This battle is know as the Battle of Bunker Hill.
31 American Expedition to Canada 1775 Britain had two colonies in Canada that remained loyal. In the fall of 1775, Congress ordered troops to march into Canada to keep British forces from invading New York. Benedict Arnold led a force toward Quebec, and Richard Montgomery led troops toward Montreal. Montgomery was killed and Arnold wounded. American forces were forced to retreat in spring of 1776.
32 Siege of Boston British Retreat from Boston 1776 General Washington knew that by fortifying the high ground around Boston, he could drive the British from that city. A plan was made to move the captured Fort Ticonderoga cannons across the show-covered Bershire Mountains to Dorchester Heights.
33
34 This began in January and was accomplished by March 4, 1776 With cannons looking down on them, General Howe and his troops left Boston. Nine thousand British soldiers sailed to Halifax, Canada. Washington then sent his troops south of New York.
35 The Declaration of Independence 1776 All the events and battles we have read about so far occurred before the colonies declared their independence from England. By the summer of 1776, it was clear that there could be no turning back. The Second Continental Congress appointed a committee to draft a document declaring the colonies to be free and independent states.
36 Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and it is one of the best political documents ever written. On July 4, 1776, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence.

He was caught and hanged. He is last words were, I regret I have but one life to lose for my country.

Burgoyne finally began to retreat, but it was to late.
47 The patriots surrounded him at Saratoga. On October 17, he surrended to the American Army. The Battle of Saratoga, New York, was the turning point of the war.
