Teacher Directions – CLOZE Notes
• The next pages are handouts for the students to use for note-taking during the presentation. (Print front to back to save paper and ink.)
• Check the answers as a class after the presentation.
• *Please note – the slides in this presentation are content-heavy. Feel free to open the editable file if you’d like to delete anything. I’ve found that it’s better to have too much than not enough!

The Road to Revolution
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
SS8H3a
• Great Britain, France, and Spain had been competing for land in North America for centuries.
• By the mid-1700s, France had become Great Britain’s biggest rival.
• In 1756, fighting broke out between the two countries over fur trading territory in the Ohio Valley.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• This war was known as the French and Indian War in America because the local Native Americans joined forces with the French troops.• They were worried that the British settlers
would take over their land.
• In Europe, the war was called the Seven Years’ War.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• Great Britain won the war.
• In the Treaty of Paris 1763, France was forced to give up all of its North American colonies, including Canada and all land west to the Mississippi River.
• Even though the British won the war, the economic cost of the war was incredible and left the country virtually bankrupt.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• The Treaty of Paris 1763 also gave Spanish Florida to England.
• Georgians were happy with this decision because there would be no more Spanish threat to the colony.
• Georgia’s borders were also expanded to the St. Mary’s River to the South, the Mississippi River to the West, and land around Augusta to the North.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Georgia’s Boundaries, 1763
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• In 1763, King George issued a statement prohibiting colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains.• Colonists who lived there had to pack up and
move back east.
• The Proclamation of 1763 had two goals: to avoid future conflicts with Indians and to maintain and build settlements east of the Appalachian Mountains so settlers would trade with England.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
King George III issued the Proclamation of 1763.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• Much of the land was given to Native Americans to avoid uprisings and violence with the settlers.
• The intent was to stabilize relations between Great Britain and the Native American tribes who lived in the area.
• Because the British were nearly bankrupt from the Seven Years War, they could not afford to fight another costly war with Native Americans over territory.

Proclamation of 1763 – New Colonial
Boundaries
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• The colonists, many of whom participated in the war in hopes of gaining new land, were extremely upset by the Proclamation of 1763.
• Many frontiersmen ignored the treaty and moved west into areas that are now Kentucky and Tennessee.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Many frontiersmen moved into the Appalachian Mountain region, despite the King’s orders.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• People in Georgia did not share the same reactions to the Proclamation of 1763 as other colonists.
• The colony was relatively small and most colonists were still settled along Georgia’s coastline.
• Also, Georgia gained land and resources from the Spanish after the French and Indian War. • This new land opened up new coastal areas for
Georgians to settle, which was great for trade.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• In the 1760s and 1770s, Great Britain began asserting more and more control over the colonies.
• To help alleviate the debt incurred from the war, the British Parliament felt that the colonists should be responsible for some of the financial burden by paying new taxes.
• Many colonists were angered by the taxation, particularly because there was no colonial representation in the British Parliament.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• In 1765, England imposed the Stamp Act, which required colonists to buy a government stamp for nearly every paper document.
• It put a direct tax on items that were commonly used by almost every colonist, including newspapers, licenses, and legal documents.
• Many colonists rebelled, saying that the government should not tax them when they had no representation in Parliament.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Colonial newspaper predicted the Stamp Act would lead to the end of
journalism.© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Notice of the Stamp Act in a
newspaper.
• Due to colonial pressure, the British Parliament eventually repealed the Stamp Act (but continued to issue others).
• These acts caused even more discontent and began to set the stage for the Revolutionary War…
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• Georgia’s response to the Stamp Act was not as violent as in other colonies due to its small population, strong royal governor (James Wright), and economic dependence on Great Britain.• Georgia was actually the only colony where a
small number of stamps were sold.
• However, there was some resistance to the Stamp Act. • On November 6, 1765, a group affiliated with the
Sons of Liberty called the “Liberty Boys” was established to oppose the Stamp Act. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Tondee’s Tavern in Savannah.

• The American colonists were becoming more and more rebellious, particularly in Boston.
• The Boston Massacre occurred in 1770 when British soldiers fired into an angry mob of protestors, killing five colonists.
• The 1773 Boston Tea Party took place when colonists dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
The Destruction of Tea at Boston Harbor
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles(A few of the colonists disguised themselves as Native Americans.)
• Great Britain was angered by the unruly colonists.
• In 1774, Parliament passed a series of laws called the Coercive Acts to punish the colony of Massachusetts and to set an example for the other colonies.
• Colonists called these laws the Intolerable Acts.
• Great Britain refused to repeal these laws until the colonists paid for the tea destroyed in Boston.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• The Intolerable Acts included four laws designed to punish the Massachusetts colonists for the Boston Tea Party.
1. Boston Port Act closed the port of Boston to trade.
2. Massachusetts Government Act prohibited town meetings and took away the colony’s charter.
3. Impartial Administration of Justice Act said that any British official that committed a capital crime was sent back to England for trial.
4. Quartering Act forced the citizens of Massachusetts to house and feed British soldiers at their own expense.

• Other American colonies were outraged and joined in sympathy with Massachusetts.
• The Intolerable Acts unified the colonies in a belief that the British Parliament was violating their rights.
• Twelve colonies sent representatives to the First Continental Congress of 1774.
• Georgia was the only colony that did not send a representative.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• The First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in 1774.
• The members wrote protests to England and decided to boycott British goods until taxes and trade regulation were repealed.
• They also pledged military support to Massachusetts if they were attacked by Great Britain.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• King George III said that the colonists would not become independent without a fight.
• On April 19th, 1775, the first battle of the American Revolution took place at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts.
• After several more battles, the Second Continental Congress met in May 1775.
• This time, Georgia was represented by 3 delegates: Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, and George Walton.

TheAmerican Revolution
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
• A committee headed by Thomas Jefferson compiled a list of reasons why the American colonies should become independent in a formal document that was adopted on July 4, 1776.
• The first part, called the Preamble, explains the natural rights of all people.
• The second part includes a list of grievances against King George, including “imposing taxes without our consent” and “quartering large bodies of troops among us.”
• The final part is where the colonists officially severed ties from Great Britain.
