3.1 Context: the Revolutionary Period

By 1754, European countries were competing for world domination by dueling for land in North America. Great Britain, France, and Spain all held various areas in the New World. This competition would disrupt the lives of both American colonists and Native Americans.

3.2 The Seven Years' War

To raise revenue, the British Parliament created the Sugar Act (1764), the first taxing law that made colonists pay taxes on imported sugar. The Quartering Act, one year later, required the colonists to feed and house British soldiers. The Stamp Act of 1765 was the law that colonists hated the most. It required the colonists to purchase stamps for bills, newspapers, pamphlets, and other business and legal documents.

3.3 Taxation without Representation

Ideas helped to cause the Revolutionary War. The Enlightenment ideas of Europe had influenced these transplanted British subjects. This period of renewed European thinking in the 1700s emphasized natural, individual rights while questioning authority and kings.

3.4 Philosophical Foundations of America

In April of 1775, the British sent numerous troops to Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, to seize stored gunpowder that the patriot rebels harbored. Paul Revere went on his famous ride warning that the British were coming, urging the colonial minutemen militia to get up and get their guns. Gunfire erupted in Lexington, leaving eight American colonists dead in this brief battle lost by the minutemen. About 100 spectators watched. These were the first shots of the war known as “the shot heard round the world.”

3.5 The American Revolution

The American Revolution had a dramatic impact on different groups of people in America and the ideas that people were thinking. Women’s rights, slavery, democracy, equality and freedom of religion were all important ideas during and after the revolution.

3.6 The Influence of Revolutionary Ideals

So what kind of laws did the U.S. have before the Constitution? After declaring independence from Britain, the Second Continental Congress asked each state to create its own state constitution. The states would write laws that reflected the new ideas of democracy.

3.7 The Articles of Confederation

Overall, the weak factors within the Articles made many people feel as though the Articles of Confederation needed to be replaced by a set of laws with a more central authority and a federal government with enforcement power.

3.8 Debates over Ratification

Who was responsible for creating the Constitution? Twelve states sent delegates, with Rhode Island being absent. Fifty-five white males were appointed by their state legislatures. All of these men owned property and came from a wealthier class.

3.9 The Constitution

George Washington was elected unanimously as the first President of the USA in 1789. He would also be elected unanimously in 1792. He would soon establish a cabinet, which included Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State and Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury.

3.10 Shaping a New Republic

6 min read

Many cultural developments were taking place in America from 1750-1800. What did it mean to be an American? Americans were still maintaining some European cultural characteristics but were also developing their own religion, schools, arts and technology.

3.11 Developing an American Identity

Immigration contributed to the increased population in America from 1750-1800. Immigration to America and migrations within the colonies caused conflict between European immigrants, Britain, Native Americans and black Africans.
