    Chapter 8 America Secedes from the Empire


    Learning Targets

    1. I know the significant actions of the Second Continental Congress, including the Olive Branch Petition &
    Bunker Hill.

    Yes and...

     between April 1775 and July 1776, the colonies' emotions about independence were mixed: some expressed
    a wish to reconcile disputes, while others recruited troops to attack the British.
     The British garrisons at Ticonderoga and Crown Point were seized by a small American army led by Ethan
    Allen and Benedict Arnold in May 1775.
     Bunker Hill was taken by the colonists in June 1775. The British reclaimed it, albeit at a high cost in terms
    of lives.
     The Second Continental Congress issued the "Olive Branch Petition" in July 1775, pledging American
    devotion to the monarch and pleading with him to end further battles. The monarch turned down the plea.
    The Americans were forced to choose between fighting for independence and submitting to British control
    and power as a result of the refusal.
     King George III declared the colonies to be in revolt in August 1775. He then enlisted the help of German
    Hessians to restore order to the colonies.

    2. I can describe Thomas Paine’s arguments for independence in Common Sense and how his ideas were
    influenced by the Enlightenment. (Be sure to pull 1-3 direct quotes or phrases and apply them to your FF)
    Yes and...

    “The Royal brute of Great Britain” “God save the king” “ God Save the Congreses

    Because loyalty to the empire was deeply ingrained, many Americans continued to consider themselves
    members of a transatlantic community in which the mother country of Britain played a leading role; colonial
    unity was poor; and open rebellion was dangerous, the Americans continued to deny any intention of
    independence.

    In 1776, Thomas Paine published Common Sense, a pamphlet. It maintained that the colonies had outgrown their
    dependency on English dominance and should be granted independence.

    3. I can explain the purpose of the Declaration of Independence & describe the 3 parts of the Declaration

    Richard Henry Lee advocated that the colonies declare their independence at the Second Continental Congress.
    The Declaration of Independence was drafted by Thomas Jefferson. On July 4, 1776, Congress finally
    ratified the Declaration of Independence. The "declaration" was really more of a "explanation" of why the
    colonists wanted to be free.

    4. I can differentiate between and describe the conflicting perspectives regarding colonial rebellion: Loyalists
    vs. Patriots

    During the American Revolution, the Loyalists were referred to as "Tories," while the Patriots were referred to
    as "Whigs."
    The American Revolution was a movement led by a small group of people. The majority of colonists were
    either apathetic or neutral. Patriot militias performed a superb job of winning the colonists' "hearts and
    minds."
    Only 16 percent of the American populace were Loyalists. Many educated and rich individuals remained
    Loyal English supporters. Where the Anglican church was dominant, there were the most loyalists. New
    York City, Charleston, Quaker Pennsylvania, and New Jersey were all strongholds for the Loyalists. In
    New England, they were the fewest.
    Where Presbyterianism and Congregationalism flourished - mostly in New England - the Patriots were many.
