THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

I - Have a look at these timelines of the most important events that led to the
revolution of the 13 colonies in America. Can you explain these events?
II - Then, answer the following questions.

1. Was colonial America a democratic society?


2. Were the colonists justified in resisting British policies after the French
and Indian War (1754–1763)?
3. Were the origins of the American Revolution primarily economic or
ideological?
4. Were the colonists’ responses to the Stamp Act (1765) justified?
5. How did the Stamp Act Congress pave the road for American
independence?
6. Is violence a sound strategy to bring about significant political and
social change? (Case studies to help examine this question could
include: the Stamp Act riots [1765], the Boston Massacre [1770], the
Boston Tea Party [1773], and the battles of Lexington and Concord
[1775].)
7. Should the British Parliament’s response to colonial violence be viewed
as "coercive" or "intolerable"?

sense"?
9. Would you have been a revolutionary in 1776?
