Unit Two: The Revolution
Unit Goals:
• To recognize that colonial culture took on distinct American qualities in such areas as religion, education, press freedom, and self-government.
• To be able to explain why the colonies began to thrive economically, their mercantilist relationships with England became strained.
• To understand why England’s territorial clashes with other European powers to protect the colonies, actually hurt their relationship with the colonists.
• To identify the reasons for England’s series of taxes and restrictions, the effects these had on colonial unity, and how the political, diplomatic, and rebellious responses of the colonists helped lead to a revolution.
• To be able to explain why a small, weak, and unorganized army of rebel colonists were able to win their independence from one of the most powerful empires in the world.
