The first Revolutionary war battle: battle of Lexington and Concord
The Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 were early battles in the Revolutionary War. The British forces aimed to capture and destroy rebel supplies in Concord but found most had already been moved. Though the British succeeded at Lexington, they were pushed back to Boston by American forces at Concord in the first major victory for the rebels. The battles marked the outbreak of armed conflict between British troops and American militia, and were a key step toward American independence.
Battle of Bunker Hill
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The British forces of 2,400 soldiers led by Generals Howe and Gage attacked 1,500 American colonial troops led by Generals Ward, Putnam, and Warren, who were stationed on Breed's Hill. After two failed attacks that resulted in heavy British casualties, the British launched a third strike once they realized the colonial forces were out of ammunition, forcing the colonists to finally retreat. Though the British gained control of the area, it came at a high cost of 1,150 British soldiers killed or wounded compared to 450 colonial casualties.
The First Phase of the Revolution
The Revolution officially began in April 1775 with skirmishes between British troops and colonial minutemen in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. This came after years of growing tensions between the colonies and Britain over issues like taxation. In response to these events, the Second Continental Congress met in May 1775 and produced the Declaration of Independence in 1776, defining the principles of the new American nation. Major battles like Bunker Hill in 1775 and New York in 1776 resulted in colonial losses, but the pivotal victory against Hessian mercenaries in Trenton, New Jersey in 1776 helped boost colonial morale and recruitment. Another key American triumph was the 1777 surrender of the British General Burgoyne's forces at Sar

April morning journal
Adam, a 15-year-old boy, is forced to fight in the first battle of the American Revolution at Lexington. In his journal entry, he describes Lexington as a small, close-knit farming community that is unprepared for war. He notes that colonists are fighting the British Regular Soldiers due to high taxes without representation and other abuses, as depicted in the movie. Adam is afraid but feels he must defend his neighbors and community. Though shaken by the day's violence, he remains committed to continuing the fight for independence, as the battle has shown the colonists cannot back down from the British.
Primary vs Secondary Sources
This presentation provides a short introduction to the differences between primary and secondary sources. This is aimed at teaching history undergraduates how to use primary sources for their historical research.
Government in colonial sc 8 1.6
Representative government developed differently in South Carolina compared to other colonies. South Carolina started as a proprietary colony run by absentee landlords, which led to tensions between colonists and proprietors. It then became a royal colony with a governor appointed by the king. The backcountry population grew but had less representation than the Lowcountry elite, leading to the Regulator Movement where backcountry settlers took matters into their own hands to establish law and order. Eventually the government addressed this by setting up courthouses in the backcountry.
Relations between natives & european settlers 8 1.2
The Spanish were the first Europeans to contact Native Americans in South Carolina, but when they did not find gold they enslaved Natives and established plantations. Disease and overwork decimated the Native population, so African slaves were brought in to replace them. The Spanish built cities, universities, and transferred their social class system, government, and Catholic religion. The French explored for the Northwest Passage and established fur trading relationships with Natives. The English claimed lands along the east coast for the king and brought their culture, Protestant religions, and ideas of self-government. Spain and France unsuccessfully tried to establish permanent settlements in South Carolina but were abandoned, while the English succeeded with their permanent colony of Charles Town in 1670,
Sc’s history of european settlement 8 1.3
The document summarizes the history of European settlement in South Carolina. It describes how the first permanent English settlement was established at Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco plantations and the use of indentured servants and African slaves helped the colony prosper. This established the pattern for southern colonies like South Carolina. Founded in 1663, South Carolina was granted to Lords Proprietors and became a prosperous plantation colony due to its fertile land, mild climate, slavery, and attraction of religious freedom seekers. Large plantations cultivating cash crops like tobacco and rice using slave labor made it distinctly southern.
Africans in early sc 8 1.4
Enslaved and free Africans played a significant role in the developing culture and economy of South Carolina. The growth of the slave trade resulted in a large population of Africans who contributed their agricultural knowledge and skills. However, Africans resisted slavery, such as through the Stono Rebellion. In response, South Carolina strengthened slave codes to control the slave population and prevent future uprisings. Over time, Africans developed a unique Gullah culture and language on the coastal Sea Islands.
Sc government 8 2.6
After the American Revolution, South Carolinians established their own state government and participated in forming the national government. The Provincial Congress governed South Carolina and established the state's first constitution in 1776, prior to independence.

The French and Indian War had political and economic consequences for South Carolina colonists in their relationships with Native Americans and England. The war resulted in Native American frustrations as settlers moved into Cherokee lands, breaking earlier treaties. It also led the British to more strictly enforce mercantilist policies and tax the colonies to pay war debts, straining the relationship between Britain and the colonies.
Sc & the battles of the revolutionary war
South Carolinians played a key role in the American Revolution through partisan warfare. They were defeated at the Battles of Charleston and Camden but won key victories at Kings Mountain, Cowpens, and Eutaw Springs. These victories helped turn the tide of the war in South Carolina and forced the British to retreat, securing South Carolina for the Patriot cause.
Sc’s role in making the new nation 82.3
South Carolinians played a key role in the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Two South Carolinians, Thomas Heyward Jr. and Arthur Middleton, served as delegates to the Second Continental Congress and signed the Declaration. These delegates represented the Lowcountry elite landowners rather than average South Carolinians. The Declaration was based on ideas from John Locke's writings, similarly to South Carolina's Fundamental Constitutions. It outlined principles of equality, natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and the right of the people to change their government. The Declaration accused the King of violating colonists' rights in order to unite the colonies against a common enemy.

The Age of Exploration
The Age of Exploration began in the 15th century as European powers sought new trade routes and lands. Countries sponsored voyages of explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan to circumnavigate the globe and map the Americas and Asia. These explorations established new trade networks for resources like spices, gold, and slaves, and led to the Columbian Exchange of plants, animals, technologies, and diseases between the Old World and New World.
Protestant Reformation
The Protestant Reformation began in 16th century Europe in response to perceived corruption in the Catholic Church. Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses challenging Catholic doctrines like indulgences and the authority of the Pope. Luther's ideas spread rapidly through the printing press and inspired others to break away from the Catholic Church and form new Protestant faiths. The Reformation divided Europe along religious lines and led to conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, while some rulers like King Henry VIII of England switched their countries to the new Protestant faiths for political reasons. The Catholic Church fought back through the Counter Reformation, reforming itself while continuing to battle the growth of Protestantism.

The Crusades and the Black Death both significantly impacted medieval Europe. The Crusades were a series of military expeditions called by the Pope in the 11th-13th centuries in response to Muslim control of the Holy Land. This led to increased trade and cultural diffusion between Europe and Asia, as well as more centralized power for European kings. The Black Death was the deadly bubonic plague pandemic that arrived in Europe in 1347, killing around half the population. This caused widespread societal changes like the collapse of the feudal system as fewer peasants were left to work the land. Peasants also gained more bargaining power and independence.
