●-Briefly Describe 4 of these events
●“The only good wars are the American
Revolution, World War II, and the Star
Wars Trilogy” Bart Simpson
4.1 & 4.2 The Big Idea
● The 1st Continental
Congress demanded
certain rights from
Great Britain
● Armed conflict
between British and
Colonists broke out
with the “Shot heard
‘round the World”
● The 2nd Continental
Congress created the
Continental Army to
fight the British
● Tensions between The
Colonies and Great
Britain led to War
● Thomas Paine’s Common
Sense led many to
support Independence
● The Colonies formally
declared their
independence from
Great Britain, although
the Declaration did not
address rights of all
colonists
1st Continental Congress - October
1774
▪ Gathering of Colonial Leaders (EXCEPT GA)
formed to voice the colonists concerns to King
George III
▪ Colonists did not want to separate yet; state
concerns and ask King to correct them
▪ Some wanted Peace, others said War was
inevitable - continued to boycott goods AND
have colonial militias prepare for war
▪ “Declaration of Rights” - 10 resolutions
including right to
“Life, Liberty, and Property…”
Patrick Henry’s famous Quote
“They tell us, Sir, that we are weak; unable to cope
with so formidable an adversary. But when will we be
stronger? Gentlmen may cry, Peace, Peace - but there
is no peace. I know not what course others may take;
but as for me, give
death!”
me liberty or give me
The Ride of Paul Revere - April 1775
▪ Patriot Soldiers - Colonists who wanted independence
from G.Britain who formed militia groups to fight in
case of an attack by Redcoats
▪ Redcoat Soldiers - British soldiers
▪ British Governor of Mass. Thomas Gage learned of
Patriots’ stockpile of weapons outside of Boston in
Concord - decided to seize them
▪ The Patriots learned of the surprise attack
▪ Paul Revere & William Dawes rode through night
warning Patriots that the Redcoats were coming
- “One if by land;Two if by sea”
Lexington & Concord - The 1st Battles
▪ Minutemen assisted Patriot Soldiers - local militia
nicknamed because they were ready to fight at a
minute’s notice
▪ “Shot Heard ‘round the World” - someone (we don’t
know on what side) let out a gunshot and then
everyone started firing
▪ When the smoke cleared, Redcoats won and moved on
to Concord
▪ Patriots force Redcoats back at Concord, killing many
along the way -EASY TARGETS=THEIR RED COATS
2nd Continental Congress - May 1775
▪ King George III ignored Dec. of Rights - 2nd CC tried
again to voice concerns
▪ First attempt at Republican Government in Colonies
▪ Congress asked Colonies to draw up new Constitutions;
Conventions set up to write them
▪ Authorized the Continental Army - all Colonial
soldiers united & led by Virginian soldier George
Washington
▪ July 5, 1775 Congress presented the King
with the Olive Branch Petition but
the King would not read it

DAY 2 NOTES BELL WORK
BELL WORK-Answer in your notes
●What are the hidden “costs” of
War? In other words, what does
War cost us as a society
economically, socially,
agriculturally, etc? Do you think
War is worth these costs?
● Bunker Hill May 1775 Benedict Arnold/Patriots capture
Ft. Ticonderoga & large supply of
weapons (NY)
● Both sides low on men/bullets
● Patriots told to only “Shoot
when you see the whites of
their eyes!”
▪ The Redcoats won, but lost twice
as many men - proved Colonists
actually had a shot at taking
on British
● Dorchester
Heights
March 4, 1776 - Colonel Henry
Knox transports guns/cannons from
Ft. Ticonderoga to G.W. & the
Continental Army in Boston
● When the Redcoats awoke & saw
that the GW & Patriots had
cannons, they quickly retreated
to Canada
● The birthplace of the rebellion
now in Patriot hands
Common Sense by Thomas Paine
● January 1776 - a 47 page pamphlet published
anonymously, plain language speaking to the common
people
● (Effect) Changed colonists’ opinion of King George
● Citizens, not Kings and Queens, should make laws
● Economic freedom
● Right to military defense
● Against tyranny - abuse of govt. power
“There is something very absurd in supporting a
continent to be perpetually governed by an island…”
Thomas Paine
The Declaration of Independence
Background
● June 1776 - committee writes a
document declaring Colonies’
Independence
● New Seal
“E pluribus unum”
(out of many,
one) - recognizing Colonies’ unity
● Main author Thomas
Jefferson
● July 4, 1776 the United
States of America was
born when Continental
Congress approves the Dec.
of Independence
DOCUMENT IMAGE
The Declaration of Independence
● “All people posses unalienable rights, including life,
liberty, and pursuit of happiness…”
● King George had violated their rights by taxing them
without their consent, passed unfair laws, interfered w
their govt., and burdened the Colonists by stationing
Army there (quartering)
● Colonies had inherent right to break from Britain
because King “broke his end of the deal”
(Enlightenment’s idea of a social contract 1) Govt.
protect rights of citizens and 2) people agree to be
governed)
● ***”All People” ONLY APPLIED TO…???
Unfinished Business
● Women - left out
● Abigail Adams tries to get
hubby John Adams to include
them “Remember the
Ladies…Do not put such
unlimited power into the hands
of the Husbands…” and fails
● Right to vote, own property,
etc., not addressed to them
● Enslaved Africans - founding
fathers even compared
themselves to “slaves under
British rule”
● Steps taken in New England
Colonies to end slavery in
1780’s but not in South (United
States now = stick together)
● Despite Proclamation of 1763,
Colonists still quietly settled on
the Native American lands
● Westward Expansion would
become a pattern once we won
War
