Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence, July, 1776Current LectureThe American Revolution as Political: The Establishment of Home RuleTerms:- Proclamation Line (1763)o The line of settlement, the colonists cannot go past this line. Wouldn’t allow them to cross the line because they would settle into Native American tribes and that would cause more fights and therefore more money would have to be spent from the British Empire. - Stamp Act (1765)o Further endanger into their economy. Move into the internal trade between the Americans. Any legal transaction that occurred there had to be a stamp on it. You have to pay for the stamp each time there is a transaction. Even newspapers had to have stamps- Sons and Daughters of Libertyo Most of the members were from the Merchant and Planter elite. Organized common people to hold mass meetings that protested the stamp act. The women can legally collect petitions; they go around the local merchants to get a contract by them so they will not buy the goods that the British are taxing on. The men hold conferences that passstatements where they demand the rights of Englishmen, and they oppose taxation without representation. Thought that the King wouldn’t actually be doing this, it is the parliaments fault. - Common Sense (1776)o Wrote by Thomas Paine, talked about why parliament was not the only problem but it was really the kings. Monarchy was the problem. Making the Empire Pay: Royal Economics- The Problem of Western Landso Royal Proclamation of 1763 The line where no more Americans can cross. Made by the British o Quartering Troops for Defense For expense saving purposes. The colonists should bare the expense of feeding and housing British troops that are their to protect them. - Parliament and Taxation Without Representationo Revenue Act of 1764 (Sugar Act) Taxed British colonists’ imports, sugar came from the Caribbean, have to pay taxes from Britain as well as taxes from the Caribbean. Sugar tax cut into the economic ease of making rum (Massachusetts Bay Colony) o Currency Act of 1764 British wanting to make sure that they are getting real money from the colonists.The British will only take hard coin. Makes it hard because it is hard to make money because of the Sugar act and now they have to provide hard money.o Stamp Act 1765 Made people pay for any commercial transactiono Quartering Act 1765 Requires that the American house and feed the British troops. The Emergence of an Organized American Political Response- Disaffection With Parliamento Stamp Act and the Formation of the Sons and Daughters of Liberty of 1765 Held parades that hung the people that gave out the stamps.  Took back the stamp act of 1766, but declared a new tax that taxed tea and mirrors that are imported. o Boston Massacre of 1770 British troops where were quartered and shot into a crowd and killed 5 people. This spread the idea that the British Troops were not there to protect the colonists but to keep them in line. After this happened, British repealed all acts besides taxes on teao Boston Tea Party of 1774 and the Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts) Dumped tea into the Boston Harbor while being dressed like Indians. Dressed like Indians because it shows that they are of different nationality.  Coercive Acts close the court, and bring more British Troops to the colonies. Bring a military governor into the colonies. Protest Becomes Revolution- The Politics of Independence and Home Ruleo The first Continental Congress and the Declaration of American Rights (September 1774) The formation of the Continental Congress from Intolerable acts. Decided that the intolerable acts were null and void. Brought the militia together and declared American Rightso Outbreak of War at Lexington and Concord (April 1776) and the Second Continental Congress (May 1775) Thomas Gage marches his men to Concord, and this is the first battle of American Revolution Meet for second Continental Congresso Tom Pain, Common Sense (January 1776) and the Break with the King Wrote Common Sense, making the argument that the parliament was not the only problem, it was the king. Not just King George but Kings in general. Just because his father was king does not reflect that he is suited to lead the kingdom. o Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence (July 1776) Continental Congress meets again, and
