Dulevich Danielle Dulevich (Instructor Name) (Course Name) 28 January 2014 \ Throughout history there have been many example of being hypocritical, and the cause and views of the American Revolution is great of this. The British people had finally decided that they were done with days of oppression and monarchies choosing instead to create a democratic government where all men where equal. Once The Americans decided they wanted these ideals for themselves the British where not going to stand for it. The British demonstrated this in many ways from harsh taxes and regulation in the Stamp act and Quartering act to using military force to show dominance in the at Lexington and Concord.

Tindall Ch 4 outline The Imperial Perspective English Administration of the colonies English colonies had some degree of self-governance, so they had a sense of more rights. English civil war from 1642-1646 also gave the colonies a break from royal control. In 1651-1663, three Navigation Acts were passed, restricting the colonies? trade to just England. The Lords of Trade was established in 1675 to enforce the Navigation Act. Edward Randolph tried to enforce the Navigation Act in Massachusetts. Massachusetts declared the Navigation Act invalid in 1678 and therefore the charter of Massachusetts was canceled by the Lords of Trade in 1684 and became a royal colony. Charles II dies in 1685. His brother James II takes over as the first Catholic ruler since 1558.

Chapter 5 Tindall Outline From Empire to Independence The Power of England The Treaty of Paris in 1763 kicked the French out of North America and made England more powerful. King George III took power in 1760. The Heritage of War Though both the colonies and England celebrated the victory of the Great War, problems were brewing; colonists were starting to develop a sense of nationalism. The brutal acts committed within the British army horrified Americans and further widened the gap between the colonies and England. Lots of new British burdens: debt from the war, managing the Native Americans, what to do with the colonies, and how to keep them from illegally trading. British Politics

Tindall Ch6 Outline The American Revolution 1776: Washington?s Narrow Escape British landed in Staten island on 7/2/1776 with 32,000 men, compared to Washingtons? force of 19,000 defenders. When morale became low, Thomas Paine wrote The American Crisis to boost morale. On Christmas Washington routed a garrison of 1,500 Hessians at Trenton and repelled the redcoats at Princeton three weeks later. Washington realized the only way to win was to pick at the British slowly but surely. American Society at War Many colonists were divided because of the war, Loyalists were treated very harshly. The British were also unable to use Loyalists effectively to their advantage. American militiamen tended to ambush or fight hand-to-hand, not flat out battles.
