The document compares and contrasts the British and French colonies in terms of government, economy, and culture. In government, the British colonies had local governments and representative assemblies while the French colonies were fully subject to the French king with no political rights. Economically, the British colonies had a diverse economy including farming, fishing, and trading while the French colonies' primary source of revenue was the fur trade. Culturally, the British colonies had a largely Protestant population and welcomed immigrants, while the French colonies had a small Catholic population controlled by clergy.
Victory in the Seven Years' War left Britain with a large empire in North America but also a large debt, leading the British government to try to shift some of the financial burden to the colonies through new taxes like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. This exacerbated tensions between the colonies and Britain by reinforcing American political identity and exposing irreconcilable differences over political principles of taxation and representation, laying the groundwork for the American Revolution.

The Growth of Democracy
-Reforms in Great Britain
-Moving Away From British Rule
-From Empire to Republic in France
-Expansion of the United States
-Reform in the United States
The American Revolution began in the late 1770s when tensions grew between the 13 British colonies in North America and the colonial government. The colonies were unhappy with taxation without representation and sought independence. This led to armed conflict and the American colonies, with the help of France, defeated the British army. The war ended in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris, establishing the United States as an independent nation and marking the end of the American Revolution.
1. The document provides an overview of colonial American history from 1600-1763, covering major events like the founding of Jamestown and Plymouth colonies, the Great Awakening religious revival, and growing tensions with Britain over taxation and representation.
2. Key figures discussed include John Smith, Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington.
3. The document outlines the growing independence movement in the colonies in response to British policies like the Navigation Acts, Stamp Act, and Intolerable Acts leading up to the American Revolution.
The British government developed a new colonial policy in the 1760s due to the costs of administering its vast empire following the French and Indian War. Colonists opposed this new policy because it increased taxes and regulations via acts like the Sugar Act and Stamp Act in violation of their tradition of self-governance. As colonial reaction escalated through boycotts and protests, tensions increased and eventually led to open rebellion and the Revolutionary War. Meanwhile, colonists divided into Patriots who chose independence through revolution, Loyalists who remained loyal to Britain, and moderates caught between the two sides.
The document summarizes several chapters from the book "Ways of the World Presentation". It discusses several historical revolutions and events between the 18th and 19th centuries, including the North American Revolution, French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and developments in Latin America after independence.

The American Revolution ended British rule over the North American colonies and created the United States. It was both an exhilarating and disturbing time. Many events led to the Revolution, including taxation acts by the British Parliament intended to raise revenue from the colonies and restrictions on colonial trade and settlement. Growing colonial unhappiness culminated in open warfare at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The Second Continental Congress formed the Continental Army under George Washington and governed the colonies during the Revolutionary War.
The chapter discusses the growth of democracy in Western countries during the 19th and early 20th centuries. In Britain, political change came through gradual reform over the 1800s that expanded voting rights. France transitioned to more democratic systems through Napoleon III's Second Empire and the subsequent Third Republic. The US expanded significantly in size and population over this period as well.
The document provides details on the key events that led up to the Revolutionary War between the American colonies and Great Britain. It describes how Britain gained territory in North America after the French and Indian War, but this created conflicts over land use with Native Americans.

This led to protests, boycotts, and confrontations like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. In response, the colonists organized the Continental Congress to unite the colonies against Britain and prepare for war.
The document provides background information on the road to the American Revolution. It discusses the purpose and establishment of the 13 colonies by Britain, the system of British mercantilism that controlled colonial trade, and the differing viewpoints of colonists and the British on how the colonies should be governed.
