(Note: This is a review. This content was taught prior to 8th Grade.)
Causes of the Revolution
The American colonists enjoyed Britain's protection during the French and Indian War while paying very little of the cost. Meanwhile, they profited from trade within the British Empire. Most importantly, they cherished the political rights that they enjoyed as British subjects. When Parliament began to tax the colonists to raise revenue, they protested. Eventually, the protests turned to rebellion, and rebellion turned to war.
The Colonists Declare Independence
In 1776, the colonists of British America made three important decisions. First, they declared independence from Britain. Second, they chose a republican model for their new government. Third, they confederated the 13 states as the United States of America. These decisions were unprecedented and risky. The colonists gambled their lives and property but found a strength that surprised and changed the world.
