Chapter 5 Proper Nouns and questions (include dates) A. The American colonist, overall, had a good standard of living. Why then did the wealthy gentry lead the original push for rebellion? (pg 127) They wanted to regain their rights, that Parliament was taking away. In 1774 British troops came over, which enrages many colonists. After 1765, lower class people began to join in with the rebellions. B. In your opinion, how did the young and diverse population of the American Colonies help contribute to the American revolution? Nearly 60% of the population in the 1700s was under the age of 21, and with so many young people beginning to understand politics and their society, this large percent has a big influence on the overall thinking of the time. King George III

APUSH STUDY GUIDE CH. 11 Terms: The election of 1800: The two Democratic-Republicans Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr defeated Federalist John Adams, but tied with each other. The final decision went the House of Representatives, where there was another tie. After a long series of ties in the House, Jefferson was finally chosen as president. Burr became vice-president. This led to the 12th Amendment, which requires the president and vice-president of the same party to run on the same ticket. Battle of Trafalgar: naval confrontation in 1805 off the southwest coast of Spain; the French and Spanish fleets were defeated by the English under Admiral Horatio Nelson (who was mortally wounded)
