Unit II : Rise Up - The American Revolution

After completing Unit 1, Colonial America, students will have learned how Native Americans, Africans, and Europeans created societies independent and interdependent of each other.  They have explored evidence of cooperation and conflicts of the three communities – in doing so, Unit 1 has set the stage for students to explore how Europeans continue to expand their territorial claim beyond 13 colonies and how conflicts between colonists and British rulers are instigated, into the creation of a new nation. Asking, When is revolt justified?”, students summarize the American Revolution, including the philosophical roots for American independence found in Enlightenment writings. Students analyze the chronology of major events in the war for independence and the war’s impact around the world.  Students read the Declaration of Independence, citing evidence in response to questions and developing academic vocabulary.  In doing so, students consider the idea of freedom, how it is acquired, and the responsibilities once it is achieved.
BIG Ideas
  • After a long period of salutary neglect, Britain turned their attention back to the American colonies and began tightening up enforcement of trade laws. ​
  • American colonists resisted Britain’s control as it impacted their economic opportunities as well as ran contrary to their ideals of self-government and property ownership.
  • After many attempts of working inside the system and outside the system for change, colonists declared independence
