Events leading to the american revolution

Tensions rose further with events like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. Finally, the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, declaring independence from British rule and marking the start of the Revolutionary War.
American revolution
The American Revolution arose from growing tensions between British colonists in North America and the colonial government representing the British crown. The Stamp Act of 1765 required colonists to pay taxes on printed materials which led to rebellion against British tax collectors. The First and Second Continental Congresses were formed to discuss colonial grievances with Britain but Britain continued imposing laws seen as unconstitutional and sending troops, starting the Revolutionary War. Key events included Thomas Paine's influential pamphlet "Common Sense" which galvanized support for independence, American and French victories like at Yorktown in 1781, and the Declaration of Independence in 1776, establishing the United States.

Dissatisfaction with British taxes after the French and Indian War led the American colonists to declare independence in 1776. The American Revolution impacted both the newly formed United States and the world order by establishing a republic without a monarch.

During the 18th century, Europeans explored and colonized much of the world. French explorer Antoine de Bougainville led an expedition around the globe in 1766. Britain's victory in exploring the Pacific under Captain Cook expanded both scientific knowledge and British national pride. However, European empires relied on force and economic interests rather than internal unity. Napoleon later assumed a similar imperial role in Europe to the previous Holy Roman Empire. By the late 18th century, European maritime power extended around the globe through settlements in Australia, New Zealand, and growing influence over China.

Michael Warnick
Thomas Paine was born on January 29, 1737 in England. He attended Thetford Grammar School from 1744 to 1749 and was apprenticed to his stay-maker father at age 13. In 1759 he married Mary Lambert but his business soon collapsed and his wife and first child died in childbirth. Paine left France in 1802 for the United States, taking along three sons he was godfather to. He returned to America during the Second Great Awakening but was attacked by Federalists for his political views. Paine died on June 8, 1809, leaving most of his estate to the mother of the three boys he brought with him.
What is history
Charles I (Charlemagne) was crowned emperor in 800 by the pope, inheriting the Roman Empire through a line from Augustus and Constantine. His empire was vast and sprawling, rather than a single unit, with no fixed capital. Like other great empires of the time, Charlemagne claimed universality and cosmopolitanism. In the early 15th century, Portuguese voyages down the west coast of Africa, sponsored by Prince Henry, began changing visions of the world and eventually led to encounters with America and the slave trade. The Spanish Empire of Charles V was seen as both Roman and Holy, with Christianity accompanying European colonial expansion for centuries.

The american revolution
- 1. Michael Warnick- History 140 The American Revolution
- 2. By 1774, within the short span of a decade following the introduction of the imperial reforms, Americans who had celebrated George III’s coronation were in virtual rebellion against Great Britain. The Approach to Independence- The Coercive Acts of 1774 provoked open rebellion in America. Not only had the abuses of the English government aroused the Americans’ principles, but repeated expressions of English arrogance had finally worn out their tempers. The Declaration of Independence-By the beginning of 1775 the British government was already preparing for military action. By this time North’s supporters and the king himself saw no choice but force to bring the colonists back into line. An Asylum For Liberty- It was a strange revolution that Americans had begun, one that on the face of it is not easily comprehended. A series of trade acts and tax levies do not seem to add up to a justification for independence. Revolution
- 3. From the time royal authority had begun to disintegrate in 1774, Americans began thinking about creating new governments. They Knew, as John Jay of New York declared, that they were "the first people whom heaven has favored with an opportunity of deliberating upon and choosing forms of government under which they should live.” The State Constitutions-The climax of their efforts came with the congressional resolutions of May 1776 advising the colonies to adopt new governments “under the authority of the people” and declaring “that the exercise of every kind of authority under the… Crown should be totally suppressed. IN 1776-77, Americans concentrated much of their attention and energy on establishing these new state constitutions. The Articles of Confederation- At the same time that the Revolutionaries were creating their state constitutions, they were drafting a central government. Yet in marked contrast to the rich and exciting public explorations of political theory accompanying the formation of the state constitutions, there was little discussion of the plans for a central government. The War For Independence- However important constitution-making of the states and the Union may have been to the Revolutionaries, it would mean nothing if independence were not achieved. Constitution-Making And War
- 4. A military victory over Great Britain may have been essential for the success of the Revolution, but for Americans it was scarcely the whole of the Revolution. Although the Revolution had begun as a political crisis within the empire, by 1776 it was no longer merely a colonial rebellion. The Need For Virtue-This republicanism was in every way a radical ideology-as radical for the eighteenth century as Marxism was to be for the nineteenth century. Republicanism intensified the radicalism of the “country” ideology that Americans had borrowed from opposition groups in English society, and linked it with the older and deeper European currents of thought that went back to antiquity. The Rising Glory Of America-The exhilaration Americans felt in 1776 came not simply from their belief that they were in the vanguard of a world-wide republican revolution that would eventually topple decrepit monarchies everywhere. Republicanism
